  1. Yup, 12AX7 (or ECC83) are standard as regards voltage and current requirements, and have identical pin outs, so you can basically stick anything in there. It’s always worth a phone call to Derek at Watford Valves to discuss your requirements (more bassy / mid rangey, early breakup etc) as he really knows his onions.
  2. How big does that rout need to be for the controls though - it's MAHOOSIVE!!!
  3. Sibelius First is now a freebie, but is limited to 4 instruments.
  4. What’s available in the dedicated valve power amp markets? Just curious.
  5. Having a bit of a clear out at the moment and found a Big Muff clone with a clean blend and AMZ presence control (mid cut and boost) built to Black Russian specs and switchable between one and two clipping stages. Fuzzdog pub inside and board mounted pots. sold
  6. Samples on Soundcloud:
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  10. Will have a go at recording some samples too.
  11. Nothing special inside, usual veroboard and stuff...
  12. 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.
  14. 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?
  16. “The wand chooses the wizard”
  17. flip me running, that's HIDEOUS!!! The neck dive must be terrible. Actually probably not; why would you even pick it up?
  18. Has Ged been usurped by Worley Gummidge?
  19. Nice!
  20. 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.
  21. My bitsa Jazz; 2 piece ash body, maple neck and other bits I had lying around...
  22. That probably used to be a nice instrument; what a shame.
