[quote name='Al Heeley' post='882836' date='Jul 1 2010, 11:37 AM']I must say that the bobbass4k mod circuit was absolutely amazing when tried at last nights practice with my stingray, gotta back right off the vol but huge dirty fuzz and a lot of interesting resonant frequencies and oscillations going on, its a great fun pedal this! Guitarist wants one now. You have to be quite careful with the settings of the 5 knobs as you get a huge range of evil racket as well as some full on hi gain fuzz out of this thing. More raucous than a woolly mammoth, and less controllable. I was thinking it might just need a wet/dry blend control but why try to tame a rampant rhino? It's not designed to be a house pet.[/quote] Good to know the layout works (save the cockup I made with the LED). I haven't got round to building mine yet, I've had quite a lot to do now I'm back home (I believe the technical term is a s***load). Once I've boarded out the loft (seriously), I'll get to building it.

I also go from one type of delay to another and would need to hold it for 2 second to turn off, change patch, hold for 2 seconds, turn on, then start tapping again. The £4 it cost me off eBay seemed worth it for practicalities sake...[/quote] Fair enoguh, it's never really bothered me with mine, but I don't change patches that much, I either set it to a nice general delay or knob-twiddle of oscillaty noise craziness.

Looking good, but how come you're using an external tap switch for the dd-20? So you can switch patches and use tap tempo simultaneously?

It's (almost) summer which means i'm listening to Kyuss almost exclusively.

[/quote] As a man with a severe bee sting allergy (they give me a mild case of death), I take a perverse pleasure in that picture. And my B isn't flat, it's just cable noise, which is odd, because sometimes it's a sharp G and sometimes that flat B.

I'm building a fuzz factory clone, I've wanted to mess around with one for ages, but not enough to drop £100 2'ns hand. Anywho just wanted to run the stripboard layout I came up with by everyone: I basically combined a stripboard layout I found with the schematic [url="http://madbeanpedals.com/projects/Zombii/docs/Zombii_ver4.pdf"]here[/url]. Just wondering if anyone can spot any major cockups I've made, improvements I could make etc. I might end up putting the little LED and (what I assume) is the rectifier bit on it's own little bit of stripboard, as the stab knob probably won't be with the others. Also, anyone got any suggestions for any bass friendlier mods? I've already increased the first and last cap values.

Anyone know anywhere to get pre-drilled enclosures in the UK? I know pedal-parts-plus do them but I've got all the other parts so I kind of want one ASAP. I hate not having a drill.

Oceansize - The Charm Offensive. Can't wait for the new album.

Finally got round to finishing my muff clone, only I can't find the 9v jack, so how would I go about wiring up just a battery clip? Obviously the +ve goes to the 9v on the board, but would i wire the +ve straight to ground or to the ring of the input jack? I'm building it from [url="http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/pdf/ggg_bmp_wiring.pdf"]this [/url] btw Cheers

5 gauss is nothing (a strong fridge magnet is about 50 gauss), I'd check with your doctor about that, if it really is 5 gauss you gave to avoid, you're in for an interesting life. Nerd note: who uses gauss instead of tesla?

Oddly enough, the buckle rash has never bothered me, it just feels werid if it rests on the buckle, I either set it to just below the buckle, do it up round the side, or at one gig, I wore a t-shirt and a towel. Although that was for different reasons.
