-====== Ibanez Mostortion ======
+====== Ibanez MT10 Mostortion ======
-An effect from the 10 series, also known as the MT10. This was the very first effect I ever bought and it is still my main overdrive. Back in 1989 nobody was really interested in yet another overdrive/distortion so few were made, nowadays a clean MT10 starts at €250 because apparently half of Nashville is using these. They're easy to clone, Aion offers a [[https://aionelectronics.com/project/quantum-ibanez-mt10-mostortion/|nice kit]], Effects Layouts has a [[https://effectslayouts.blogspot.com/2019/12/ibanez-mt10-mostortion.html|PCB layout]] and there are also some vero board layouts out there, both [[https://dirtboxlayouts.blogspot.com/2019/06/ibanez-mt-10-mostortion.html|with buffer]] and [[http://tagboardeffects.blogspot.com/2013/02/ibanez-mt10-mostortion.html|without buffer]].

 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.

-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.

The difference is probably caused by the sum of all the component values that most probably varies a bit with that from the original.
