    It caught my attention, but I ended buying a different PCB as I understood the Alembic was based on the old Acoustic 360 preamp (went down the rabbit hole on this one trying to find Larry Graham!) so I bought the PCB for one of these: http://www.lynx.net/~jc/pedals360.html

     

    But I've never built a single sided board before so it's sat in my todo pile for a long time - other peoples build threads seem pretty hairy compared to a through hole PCB build.

     

    I'd be interested to hear any experiences!

    Have to agree with @LukeFRC, the Alembic is based on the Fender Dual Showman preamp.

    Busy while there... Built B3K, Vintage Microtubes and EQD Sea Machine clones and a Dunwich designed N.E.W. Bass Overdrive from GCI in the last month or so. While I like the Darkglass thing in moderation, 2 on the board and an AO900 amp is a bit overkill, so I have an Aion Maelstrom kit coming to cover both B3K and Vintage territory. Modulation isn't my thing but the Sea Machine might hang around for a while. 

     

    REALLY like the Dunwich Bass Overdrive (Boss ODB-3 based). So much so I've ordered 3 other Dunwich clone PCBs from effects layouts for myself - Volt Thrower, ODB and Wizard Fuzz.

    Thoughts on a DI box

    The Behringer is perfectly acceptable. A great sounding, cheap alternative to the Sansamp. Virtually the same circuit, just cheaper components. 

     

    Add a used compressor pedal (or Zoom multi-fx) and you've covered pretty much every angle.

    Source Audio C4 *price drop and trade added for BDDI v2* - *SOLD*

    in Effects For Sale

    Posted · Edited by Bigwan

    Source Audio C4 for sale. Not had this long. Sounds outstanding, but using an app for setting the thing up makes me sad. Going back to octave/fuzz/filter. Nowhere near as flexible as this but it's all I need! 

     

    Boxed with leads and psu. Velcro on the bottom.

     

    £170 £160 plus postage at cost or trade for a Sansamp Bass Driver v2. UK sales only.

    Saw Del Amitri in Belfast last night... Suppose I should have posted this yesterday, given the thread title!

     

    Seen them a few times before and they always hit the spot. Justin Currie looking a bit frail though. A bit of a worry for a guy in his late 50s. He never admitted to being much of a bass player but he keeps things pumping along nicely! Good old sing-song had by all!
