[quote name='dood' timestamp='1455791950' post='2982415'] You've got the L+HPF? How are you finding it? Yes, yes please I would love to see a schematic for it Thank you so much! [/quote] No don't have one, just been following the breadcrumbs! It's 2 Sallen-Key filters in series, probably preceded by a buffer stage and followed with a volume control. A bit of simulation with standard ganged-pot, resistor and cap values plugged into an equal component filter design gets VERY close to the cutoff frequencies that Azure Skies quotes. He's added a volume control as the design has inherent gain (as-in volume boost not distortion). I'll draw up something very quickly

[quote name='danbowskill' timestamp='1455740435' post='2982051'] ahhh I thought that was what their "juicy blue" overdrive was based on . Iv'e just started my first build (ROG ginger)....soldering the board was not as hard as i thought ,quite therapeutic ....i can understand getting the bug :-). different story with wiring the footswitch ,jacks, power and led :-D , There was no diagrams for that part so i winged it a little (n balls'd it up) i didn't put a resistor to the LED. gave up and ordered an easy connector board for the footswitch. pics soon. [/quote] The Ginger is also on "ze list"... As is the Fairfield Barbershop (should have most of the bits for it lying around!). Looking forward to your Ginger pics. Did you use the board from Musikding?

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1453829015' post='2963218'] Funnily, I'd spotted his posts too whilst looking for an HPF. I've a schematic for the Rolls SX21(I think) Crossover that Billy Sheehan uses. Could possibly doctor one of those, or even the Fdeck HPF also discussed on TB. The other option is something like the Focus pedal from VFE. [/quote] Spent a wee while looking at the Boughton L+HPF and think I have the circuit figured out if you're interested dood. Could draw it up for you. Will be adding one to my own "to do" list! Speaking of my "to do" list, it doesn't seem to be getting any shorter... And just to add to it I've ordered a Mad Professor Blueberry clone kit from Pedalparts. No intention of building the Mad Professor version but it's a good starting point for the bearfoot or bjfe version. A few part omissions and a bit of inventive wiring will do the business!

Lee responded to 2 of my wanted ads, but he was just pipped at the post for one of them. I bought Lee's 3Leaf PWNZOR and it arrived toot sweet and in great condition. Wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again.

[quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1455698574' post='2981475'] A new toy arrived from a certain Mr Dave Hall yesterday and got added to my nano+ [attachment=212550:nanoplus.jpg] It now sits on taller feet to accomodate my Trex Chameleon. To be safe the DHA uses 2 outlets at 12VDC with a current doubler cable (green). [attachment=212551:nanoplusfeet.jpg] [/quote] What's the khyber pass pedal Twigman?

[quote name='Guinness21' timestamp='1455637352' post='2980955'] So I actually emailed Diamond about the idea, this was their response: "There's certainly been interest from bassists regarding a smaller version of the bass comp. It would be a little trickier to do as some of the caps used in the bass comp don't currently have a direct surface mount equivalent that we could use to save space however we may dig into this after we finish some other projects we're working on and see what we can come up with. Thanks for emailing and sharing your input!" [/quote] See that sort of response really boils my piss... If they'd put 10% more in upfront they'd have 2 products, not 1.

[quote name='Guinness21' timestamp='1455634147' post='2980903'] That's a compact version of the guitar pedal - if they made the bass equivalent though I'd definitely be interested! The PWNZOR's been discontinued right? [/quote] Yes the PWNZOR was discontinued some time ago. Just been listening to sound clips of the diamond BCP1, specifically at the differences in the eq settings and there's not much in it really. The tilt eq is only for flavour and doesn't have a huge range of boost/cut. Would be easily modded to the bass setting for someone with a steady hand!

I've just noticed there's a Diamond comp Jr. Smaller enclosure, North facing jacks, normal 9v supply ready. I've got a 3Leaf PWNZOR incoming or I'd probably have opted for one of these.

Now £100 I've recently sourced a 3Leaf Enabler (again! This is my 3rd!), so my Phil Jones Bighead is for sale as a result. As you can see from the pics it took a tumble off the kitchen table and face is a little marked (the volume knob is scuffed and one corner is dinged, only cosmetic and price adjusted accordingly!). Otherwise perfect. Battery holding a charge really well and can be charged with a standard micro-USB phone charger. I've been using this with the PJB headphones and they sound fantastic together. Boxed with all leads, drawstring pouch, etc. Shipping included inside UK.

[quote name='taunton-hobbit' timestamp='1455538819' post='2979932'] I like the Noble (I could use one of those....) shame there's no internal shots, I'd really like to see what I might be buying......? vvvvv are the mirrors included in the price? [/quote] There have been a few arty shots on their instagram page of the internals. Impressive packing job on an enclosure that size!

If you're looking for tubey, you could try something like the Arkham Octling (now discontinued but due to be replaced soon): [url="http://arkhamsound.com/octling.html"]http://arkhamsound.com/octling.html[/url] OR there's the Noble preamp: [url="http://nobleamps.com/preamps/"]http://nobleamps.com/preamps/[/url] Both quite a bit simpler than the Monique but apparently both excellent in their own way.

I've been building a little headphone practice/IEM rig and was investigating an always on amp sim pedal. Having blown most of my initial budget on a 3Leaf Enabler and having ridiculous GAS for a 3Leaf PWNZOR I opted for the obvious budget option of the Behringer Sansamp clone. Being well aware of the "mid shy" reputation of the design, and being handy with a soldering iron, I thought I'd give it a little tweak. I removed one resistor in the 1st stage notch/high pass filter section to kill the midrange notch and removed the bridge-T voicing filter altogether, reintroducing more midrange, and now it sounds mighty good! It's a little on the quiet side when blended all the way to the effected side, which I'll have to look into but as a first attempt I'm extremely pleased. Dropping the blend to 80% brings back the volume with just the right amount of hair on the note and still retains enough of the cab sim tone to please. I suspect the volume issue might be down to the way I negated the notch at the first stage so I'll look at changing how I've done that. The well known YouTube video on modding this pedal does it differently so I'll give that a try before settling, but overall I'm over the moon. And the best bit? £20 off Amazon... delivered! If anyone is interested in my mods, which I made with the intention of keeping the high and low pass filtering in place but keeping the midrange as unaffected as possible, let me know.

[quote name='Coldflows' timestamp='1455306490' post='2978120'] Any news on the P bass then? I'm waiting with baited breath! [/quote] I asked Sire about a P bass a while back. They said they'd be doing one, but that's all they'd say. No time line, specs, etc.

Owen responded to my wanted ad for a 3Leaf Enabler. Now in my hands and I'm a happy bunny. Wouldn't hesitate to deal with Owen again.

Really scraping for things to complain about guys!

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1455233835' post='2977442'] I don't want Marcus Miller all over the headstock of a bass. lovely bass though. [/quote] You don't look at the mantelpiece while stoking the fire my granny always said...

That top is beautiful Gareth!

[quote name='Bearfist' timestamp='1455108472' post='2975936'] Back to using a board rather than the rack, think i'm settled although a B7K Ultra is a possibility? [attachment=212026:IMG_2472.JPG] [/quote] What size board is that? Pedaltrain mini or metro something or other?
