Currently feeling like sh1te as I appear to have had a severe allergic reaction to being nettled. Been in bed all day with temperature at 39.3C, now feeling better but still feel like a whipped puppy. Slightly nervous about the reaction as I live in the country. Nettles are dead common here. 

 

Not familiar with Elk OS but had a look around for it. If you make mistake with the wifi password and can't login it's normally easier to just rebuild it from scratch. Surprised that Putty is struggling with the protocols. Putty is as good as you get TBH and I've used it for years. I have a KVM and keep a port spare for just this type of problem, but that doesn't help @tauzero. I also know he's not stupid so something is up with Elk OS here. My pi 5 is now dedicated to development for the, ahem, exceptionally long delayed pick up winder, but I'll pull a PI 4 out and have a try. I don't have any of the boards that people are using. Is it this one

Get well soon @rwillett

I mean ideally I would like a guitar tech where I just pass them my bass and they pass me back one in tune, but it might be a bit odd when playing at church on a Sunday morning, so anything will probably work right?

What PCB prototyping services have people used recently? I traced the fuzzrocious heliotropic years ago and i couldn't remember how it sounded so I breadboarded it this weekend and it's great. Bit unwieldy for stripboard but I've knocked a PCB together in kiCad. $37 for 3 from oshpark. Will I get cheaper than that? I know years ago oshpark was pretty much the only game in town but I know a few other prototyping services have popped up.

I know Digikey do it but as an employee of Farnell I can't give money to the enemy...

I’ve used Elecrow you can use the prototyping service and 10pcb costs about £5 posted - takes ages and you have to get the kicad file right. (Tip standard hole size is not big enough for diy pedals!) 

Ild be seeing how close the plate shape was to a fender one … and then ild be fitting an anodised aluminium one… but that’s just me!

haha! 

I'm in the Netherlands..

and i'm right handed... the only space left was on the left... i have a small riser for the top pedals, but there's no riser on the left so thats where the way fits best..

But i manage to "wah" with my left foot pretty good!

 

 

In the land of Cruyff there is no “one footed”

Everything is fine, just the wah could be on the right side, but if You are lefty - it's ok.

judging by the plugs in the background I don't think @RonC is in the UK, which is fine but don't be surprised if they drive (or wah) on the other side of the board

I feel the pedal should play to its strengths not offer features that customers already have

Depends on the customer doesn’t it? My decade old H9 can do an arpeggiated sequence without touching midi 

This is an utter bargain for such a high end instrument 

thats a lot of bass for the money

Had this arrive last week. A very close approximation of a Noble (which I have on my main board) for my smaller ‘fly board’:

 

 

Si

I had not noticed him develop this! Given the Nobel di only uses one tube, What a great idea!

(Mxr didn’t last long!)

I like to think I’m done with each purchase.
I’ve recently traded an amp I wasn’t using for something I was curious about , and then came across a deal I couldn’t refuse.

…. but now I’m done. 

No one believes you! (Including yourself)

Cool! May be worth a look, I can solder reasonably well

given what @bakerster135 just said it seems a version with clean blend, or highpassed chean blend would be a good development!

know how to solder? 

Aion or Fuzzdog do kits.

What’s going on here then?

The pedal made the bass change colour!!

I think it does seem to be the power jack causing the issues

If you open it up and have a look and see if you can see anything obvious you might have a "new power jack" issue which can go to any music shop, or person who can fix electrics rather than a more specific pedal fixer ... which will be cheaper

try and diagnose it yourself first... can you make it repeat the fault, does wiggling power or cables make it cut out?

If it's just the power jack it could be a 10 min fix you could do yourself

took a while to bug fix this... but a Mutron iii (Aion's Lumitron) with a couple of mods... a decay knob and the "Moog filter" mod that does something and makes it sound different

I recently put together a few new boards. I know that themed or manufacturer-specific boards can split opinion but, as mentioned on a prior post, messing around with pedals is my main outlet and I've been itching to put these boards together for a while.

 

EAE board - some of you have seen a few other manufacturer-specific boards I've put together but, with the exception of the Broughton board which covers all bases, this one is the most versatile (if only EAE made a flanger and a compressor...).

 

0xEAE Fuzz > Longsword > Halberd > Bard > Mother > Model FeT > Prismatic Wall > Sending > Hypersleep

 

 

Heavy board - I've wanted to put this together for ages. It's not as versatile as some of the other boards I've put together but it's remarkably heavy and can be used in conjunction with a specific (smaller) modulation board.

 

Dirtfixer (Wizard in the loop) > MBD2 > Bluebeard > > Chungus > MBD(3) > Iron Pig > Parabellum v2 > Life v3 > Oprichniki > Bass Mountain > Hellraiser > DA-120

 

 

Colourful board - this is a labour of love for me and contains some of my most cherished pedals (including the first present my partner ever bought me), some customs and a few one-offs from some of my favourite builders.

 

PDR > POIROC2 > MAE Forever > SubT > DubT > FMeron > Zero Fret > Divaricator > Polytope > Ampigole > Malombra > Arcing Prisms > Chromatron > Delay Llama > Barbenloris > Melt > Mocking Blur > Count-to-5 > Nimbus SE

 

Love the chromatron design!

Bit of an issue with iteration #17365019

 

Recently got the Jam Dyna-ssor, and I LOVE what it does to my clean tone, but hate what it does going into my fuzz, octabvre and ultrawave.

 

Kicked the ultrawave off the board and moved the dyna-ssor to the end of my chain (which made the Broken sound HUGE) but it still makes my octabvre sound muddy. At the moment I'm stomping one off as I stomp the other on, but hate doing that. Any suggestions???

 

Could you not compress after octave ultra wave and fuzz?

Not sure I understand, I thought you were making one?

 

Anyway here's one I posted in the 'announcement' which says about placing it somewhere it can't be cropped out, etc.

 

Either way, I think a venn diagram of photoshop experts and online bass scammers will have very little overlap, and anything we can do to make it less convenient, the better. 

 

 

I imagine the frog guy on the headstock does the same thing too

I cannot get any filter on the C4 to sound good for me, that's why I ended up buying a spacial Delivery which is fantastic, EBS IQ still my fave though (2nd gen, not the first or the latest)

This one?

What is 1590bb?

 

It works, haven't compared it to a real one but I've heard the original described along the lines of "adding a bit if ampeg type grit". Does that, works as a preamp when used with a slave, or an effect when used in front of a bass amp.

Enclosure size - 120x94mm

Just found this thread.

 

I posted elsewhere that I've cloned the sansamp bass driver and have a couple of spare boards, anyone want one? £0

That looks cool - which version? And 1590bb?

Sparkly!
