 The challenge is to get hold of the original CA3260E opamp but the CA3260EZ will do too, you can get those from [[https://nl.rs-online.com/web/p/op-amps/9215393/|RS Components]]. If you really want the orginal you can try your luck on eBay or get the CA3260T [[https://budgetronics.eu/index.php?item=&action=article&group_id=&aid=11084&lang=nl|Budgetronics]] is still offering. Those are CA3260E's in a TO-5 metal can package, looks pretty cool too. The challenge is to get hold of the original CA3260E opamp but the CA3260EZ will do too, you can get those from [[https://nl.rs-online.com/web/p/op-amps/9215393/|RS Components]].

 Faced the same issue as with the [[builds:vero:felis_fusor|Felis Fusor]], the vero board was too wide so I had to remove a row on both sides. So the wiring looks crappy again. Also with five pots it's hard to tidy up the wiring so the board ended up pretty high and I had to bend some of the electrolytics. Maybe I should try to put three pots on top but I'd prefer to stick with the original setup because that's what I'm used to. Also maybe add an extra bottom row or use a smaller 1µF cap. Faced the same issue as with the [[builds:vero:felis_fusor|Felis Fusor]], the vero board was too wide so I had to remove a row on both sides.

-I do prefer putting the in and out wiring under the jack ouputs. The ground wiring looks OK too just as the LED wiring. +I do prefer putting the input and output wiring under the jack ouputs. The ground wiring looks OK too just as the LED wiring. 
  
 As this is basically my own signature overdrive I came up with the very creative malapropism Monastortion. And how does it compare to the original? It now has a CA3260EZ inside and it sounds a tad different than the original, a bit brighter. So maybe even better than the real thing which sounds a bit muffled compared to the Monastortion. As this is basically my own signature overdrive I came up with the very creative malapropism Monastortion.
