Hi Phil I'm building myself a Pearl Octave clone at the minute that will do two octaves down, one octave down, clean, and one octave up. Should be finished in a week or so as I'm just waiting for a few parts, I'm only down in Sheffield so if you want I'll let you know when I'm done if you want to try it? Cheers T

Cheers fellas!

Hi all I've got a spare 15" speaker I was going to use when building a drum monitor, but it has a small tear in the diaphragm near the outside edge. I'd estimate the tear is about 1cm long and not very wide, couple of mm max. A stray screwdriver did the damage, rookie error indeed. How would I patch this tear up to maintain the efficiencies of the speaker? Is it worth doing or am I likely to make the driver less useful by doing so? Any advice greatfully appreciated, I know pretty much nothing about speakers other than the bits where the red and black cables attach to... Thanks T

Thumpinator. Quite honestly the first thing I would replace if my board got stolen. I found my sound tightened up immensely and have more "presence" in the mix. I use presence in speech marks as it is a sh*te descriptive word, but you should get the point!

We have a shocking gutshot of the soft underbelly revealing just how disorganised my wiring is. The Mosfet boost circuit vero can be seen peeking out on the left of the tubescreamer board. The tubescreamer has the 1meg gain pot that the Keeley mod uses, to extend range of available overdrive. We have selectable toggle switches for 2 different diode clipping stages - standard Si or LED which gives a louder harsher distortion. We have a toggle switch for the AMZ 'Phat Boost' mod which switches in a larger value input cap to allow big fat slugs of bass through, this makes the pedal suitable for use as a bass guitar overdrive/distortion too. The 2 toggle switches each have a red/yellow bicolor LEd to show the status. Mosfet boost switches in an extra 10 or 12db of boost after the tubescreamer to act as a solo boost and really crank up the input of a valve preamp. All in all a fiddly build but a pleasing end result. [/quote] Love the finish on this, and the mods will make it massively versatile. How does it perform?

[quote name='TheRockinRoadie' post='1163369' date='Mar 15 2011, 05:20 PM']Nice board, and great explanation [/quote] Cheers dude I'm hoping to get some time over the next fortnight to finish the mic pre-amp and build the uber-muff!

Been meaning to post this for a while. Signal chain is: Line 6 wireless > Custom Loop and Tuner Mute > (Loop out) > Custom Bass Boost > MXR Octave > Bass Big Muff > Small Stone > (Loop in) > SFX Thumpinator > Amp The other stuff on there is a mic splitter (under the thumpinator), in-ears transmitter, 18v power converter for the in-ears, Diago power supply (under the converter). I'm also yet to put a mini mic pre-amp on there, which will squeeze on top of the in-ears next to the wireless. I wanted all this extra stuff actually on the board rather than elsewhere at the back of the stage, makes things much simpler!!! The MXR Octave is the only one of the four effects that isn't being upgraded at some point, although I plan on putting it in a blended loop (don't know where that will go though!!) similar but simpler to the x&m as Octaving the low D string (I'm 99% of the time in drop D) is unnecessary and the tracking struggles a bit lower than the A. The Bass Boost is great but I shall tweak it until I die probably. The Muff is being replaced by a home-made Green Russian clone with a clean blend. The Small Stone, as much as I love it, will ultimately be replaced by a home-made Phase 100 with umpteen mods on it. That's all pipeline stuff though, and my wife recently giving birth has hampered my bid for total home-made glory. Haha! Tuner is out of line obviously as I found it sapped like a mofo! Was going to get the pitch black but simply added a tuner output on the loop pedal so the tuner is completely separate. Thumpinator. If you don't have one, buy one. First thing I would replace if this lot got stolen.

Hi guys The new EP from my band StoneRun is up on myspace [url="http://www.myspace.com/stonerunmusic"][b]HERE[/b][/url] as well as a selection of songs from our first two EP's. It was all done ourselves with no time-stretching, vocal tuning or any of that malarkey (we are a rock band after all) and was the first chance I've had to get my Shuker on record! There is also an accompanying video to the new song "Tainted" on youtube [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17NGZh_Mod8"][b]HERE[/b][/url] which was edited by yours truly. There is a slight epilepsy warning as it has more strobes than a crap fairground ride! Check it out if you get chance! Cheers Tom
