What a find! I love a well loved bass

that is a semi good problem to have... good cos you know it works bad cos it could be a random thread of wire bridging something or a cold solder joint or anything! time to get the volt meter out!

Because you sir are clever!

Yeah that’s how it adds up isn’t it?

I was looking at that - or the aeon Cornish compressor clone. advantage of buying a kit you know it will work!!!

oh ok - thread tells me it might be that the LDR is too fast... I forgot I ordered some so have way too many...

sooo... Baja limiter ... and not all this is my fault as his layout and schematic don't match! I forgot how to wire the ground up... then I had buffered bypass working, but not on... Then I found one tiny trace I had forgotten to add to the PCB, wire added... effect on, volume works, but turn the input up but signal creates static and buzz.... and then all goes haywire... then realise I had managed to send one side of the LDR to the wrong place and managed to pink torpedo up one whole part of the circuit by putting the switch the wrong side of the bit it needs to switch.... luckily the two points above partially cancel each other out as there's a free pad right where I need it... and at 11.45pm I plug it in and it works... kinda.... volume (make up gain) makes it louder... Limit effects the limit where the led comes on... But... when it reaches this limit it seems to add distortion, not gain reduction! So something isn't quite right!

All together….. bzzzzzzzzzzxxxxxxzzzzzzzzzzzz :s

this lot did well out of a change of shirts and suits - just saying

The - that enclosure is smaller than I thought it would be - why didn’t I board mount the pots stage. also that 220uf cap fits … just

Cheap full stop

Nah they moved somewhere crosshills direction I think

Ild like to see it being played and see what it looks like then - I like it cos it’s different and a nice visually balanced design

It is amazing. It’s just even tonally from string to string and musical and lovely

Anyone seen these yet? in a world of fender shaped objects I love that body shape! https://www.instagram.com/pheral_ai/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y%3D

Slow and steady wins the day

That looks like someone spent too long wanting a GB bass, a alembic and a Spector and made their own Exactly- I’m not messing with that guy

Because a few people have made comments along the lines of: and in the context of the discussion of “I don’t like compression “ the fact you are comparing a compressed recording you like to a compressed recording you don’t like has some relevance. you should check out how the old Warwick hellborg rig was designed - to my mind a very uncompressed design of rig.

Depends on the instrument

So you liked YouTube’s compression, just not the extra stuff the guy turned on? See some compression you don’t mind…

double bass. Even in the genres where you don't normally see them the dude's a) learned to play the thing b) worked out how to transport the thing so I'm not messing with them!

Would a mini pcb and some kind of joining connection be simpler?

Learning for next time: board mount pots and leds and switches!

Well apart from the connections, the LED and LDR and the resistors I forgot to order this is together … who knows if it will work!
