I don't know how the rest of you feel, but i think anyone who doesn't have a small semiconductor fab in their shed and a resistor winding station in their bathroom is just a poser.

People do it lots of different ways, my general method - Drill first Sand with 400 grit Coat of primer, dry Coat of paint, dry 2nd coat, dry Apply label graphics Coat of clear coat, dry 2nd coat of clear coat, dry Sometimes 3rd coat of clear coat The clear coat I use is good but it takes a.while to dry properly, in summer I stick them outside under a pyrex bowl to get the benefit of UV - I've toyed with getting a UV lamp.

Not the best pictures but it's Taiwanese, September 1989. Thought it was 88 so I retract the older than me comment, it's got a month on me. Still in better condition than me though... -
Currently saving up for boring grown up things like a house so I've enacted a strict policy of self funding brand name pedals so these have to go to fund new flights of fancy. Digitech Bass Whammy - In great condition, very minor cosmetic imperfections but that's it. With box. I've uncharacteristically misplaced the PSU as I've ran it off my power bank. Can include a PSU that will work if required. Got my eye on something so priced to move at £130 posted Boss OC-2 - Good condition, some cosmetic chips and scuffs but it is older than I am... Also priced to move at £120 posted Not considering trades at the moment, would do a deal on both if someone was so inclined.

Yeah I'll have one if you sell them, it's been on my stripboard build list for ages
-
Not to mention the.completely garden variety TMB tonestack that could have extremely easily had a mids control. But hey, expecting 4 knobs for $1200 just isn't reasonable...

Nobel clone from c2c mostly built just waiting for a step bit so I can drill the 22mm hole for the XLR and mount the DI daughterboard. The regular output is better than I thought it would be but still way too transparent to be worth what the original costs... Others who've built it have said the magic is in the DI (it does use a £70 transformer after all) so I'm prepared to be convinced.

Musikding sell a few kits - https://www.musikding.de/navi.php?qs=relay+bypass unfortunately they've stopped selling PCBs on their own for most of their kits. Fuzzdog do an optocoupler bypass PCB too which isn't as nice as a relay bypass but should be silent enough and the footswitch mounts on it so it's very space efficient.

Does anyone want any PCBs from deadendFX? - https://www.deadendfx.com/products There's a few that I want but their shipping rate has sky rocketed since i last ordered - $60 for a fair few PCBs - anybody interested in splitting shipping costs?

Bent bridge on old Tanglewood Rebel
bobbass4k replied to max_overdrive's topic in Repairs and Technical
I might have the original bridge from my old rebel 4k somewhere if you just want a cheap option and aren't bothered about upgrading - yours for postage, assuming I can find it. When I changed mine I put a hipshot on and just re-drilled.- 14 replies

Yeah I found it hard to get good results with stamping. I eventually worked out a good process of - -big sturdy block of wood inside enclosure - couple of self tapping screws with big washers through the pot and footswitch holes to stop it sliding - clamp block of wood in workmate/ vice I also found it useful to use a punch to tap a dent in, just to give the stamp something to bite. I may have just had cheap stamps but sliding was my main issue. As bloke said, the force required is pretty immense.
-
Not had any issues, even on fairly sizeable orders. They're another one that I think might just be winging it and hoping to get away with it, but no charges on deliveries yet.

Nope, never does, he always marks them as $12 value. Honestly, I don't know how these places get away with it, pedalpcb does the same, but hey, it's their risk.
-
I bought a few so didn't end up being too bad, got the 2 separate L5 boards as well - came quick as well, 4 days i tihnk?
-
I've got a xenotron and an L4 PCB, just waiting for all the parts to arrive. I'll let you all know how it goes...
