the chance of two basses having the same fault is low. Have you tried a different cable? (this could be the simplest common denominator) Have you tested it all in a different room/building? and Doing what, to which pots cause the sound?

depends if it's the input or output of the effect causing it.. .

I looked - I didn’t see anything that wasn’t available cheaper elsewhere

This is one of the most beautiful looking pedals out there to my mind. if I were loaded I wouldn’t be messing around DIY building things I couldn’t afford otherwise - but would have a pedal board with everything they make

That was what @jimbobothy was saying too - I’m a graphic designer by trade so if I put the time in and wanted professional level design and lettering - that would be easy! what I love about metal stamping and Fairfield circuitry’s aesthetic that I’m aping is that it’s not perfect or trying to be. There’s a certain organic imperfection. In the design world for somethings I’ve sometimes taken a headline and taken it out of the programs defined kerning and baseline deliberately messed it up so it doesn’t feel so machine made. however getting the letter sideways… had me swearing

Share a gut shot on here.

It’s alright @jimbobothy (who just reacted to the post) - you’re more bothered by it than me!!

Couple of flubs with the stamping

Shame about the white washers! 🤣

The common denominator is the pedal board!

Didn’t their previous bigger compressor pedal get a thumbs up for guitar, but there was something that meant it didn’t work as well for bass?

I've a DIY pedal that does the same and I need to sort... I think it's a cap across the input that solves it

Have you got the schematic to hand? I was looking for it the other day and some of the hosting of files has gone so hard to follow what was verified and not!

compared to your professional life @AndyTravis it must be a breeze!

That sounds wonderful. There is a chance it’s the player as much as the bass, but it sounds great!

Ie on another thread…

That is very cool. Actually prompts me to ask another question…

Because without it they can use any neck on the line, any black body and just fit black hardwear and the specific plate… easy.

unless you're going for a mirror finish getting all the sanding in one direction works well

Only wee 2mm letters mind

Well that photo tells you not a lot!
