  1. This. I got into making effects out of necessity, and now make them for fun; I genuinely enjoy making pedals that I’m not necessarily going to use. They’re mostly on veroboard so I can tinker with the circuitry and learn about what’s happening at any given point on the board.
  2. I used Aluminium tape in all of my basses - remember to fold it over when overlapping joints, so that the glue doesn't insulate one piece from another. Arguably copper tape tends to give a better finish as the Al stuff wrinkles easily (as has already been mentioned), but given that it's pickup cavities and control routs it's a moot point.

    Technobots carry a lot of stock too, definitely worth a look.
  4. Will have a go at recording some samples too.
  5. Nothing special inside, usual veroboard and stuff...
  6. Built by my own fair trotters to see if it’s something I’d use. It isn’t. Didn't label the box as it was just a bit of an experiment, but it has drive, blend, level and tone controls as per the original. True bypass and 9v adapter only. Price includes p&p to UK mainland.

    DIY Effects

    Finished a Fuzzdog Bug Muff Blend pedal this week - lovely thing. Built it to Black Russian specs but I didn’t have 390 ohm resistors did the transistor emitters so used 330 instead; just a smidgen more gain never hurt anyone, right? I think there’s a phasing issue with the blend though.
  8. EHX Headphone amp. Good pair of cans/earbuds and you're laughing. Been using one for years and only been through a couple of 9v batteries.

    what bits do you need?
  10. “The wand chooses the wizard”
  11. flip me running, that's HIDEOUS!!! The neck dive must be terrible. Actually probably not; why would you even pick it up?
  12. Has Ged been usurped by Worley Gummidge?
  13. I tend to record 2 acts at once; a clean DI to channel 1 and another through the pedalboard and Ampeg pre. From there I can use an amp sim or reamp through a big amp in the studio.
  14. My bitsa Jazz; 2 piece ash body, maple neck and other bits I had lying around...
  15. That probably used to be a nice instrument; what a shame.
  16. Building my own compressor so I’m letting this go up for sale. Aphex Punch Factory 1404 compressor that doubles as a really useful DI (pre/post compression, ground lift switch) and runs on 9v battery, standard 9v adaptor or phantom power. Massive piece of Velcro underneath as it’s been on my board for years.
  17. Been there, done that. It gets better Andy but it takes time.
  18. I think I’ve got one from an old pedal if you want it.
  19. Preamp pedal into the FX return of their amp is the easiest way, bypasses the tone shaping part of the amp.
