Wow,
I got it the other day, it's number 25 and has a brightness trimpot, as well as a socket, and both chips included (plus a cool little note from Bjorn describing the trimpot).
It sounds different than my MP version...it's woodier, and a little saggier, and it has less gain. Also, the body knob has a less even taper to it. The MP version has a tighter sound, and is more hi-fi, and refined. I'd be happy with either, but, I'm very glad to have the new(old) one as it definitely has a character to itself. Almost sounds like an aged LGW..in a very pleasing way.

Hi,

Sounds like it found a good home!

where is the trimpot on your LGW ?...i thought only the EGDM had a trimpot ?

..

Looking at the circuit, it's in the top left.
I've not tweaked it much yet, just to get it to where it sounded good with my rig.

I don't know the story behind it, I'd like to though . Maybe BJ was still experimenting?

well, if not having a trimpot bothers you, you can sell your LGW to me and search for one with a trim pot
