Description

Recreation of the late 90’s V7C Black Russian, this is an exact build of the V7C but tighter part standards and top grade components. Based off the Big M*ff Page V7C Black Russian schematic using Ceramic Capacitors for all, Metal Film Resistors and NPN BC548C Transistors.

One of the main differences the Black Russian differs from others is most of them used only ceramic capacitors. We made sure to build it to spec and feel like we hit the mark exactly with this one.
