    DIY Effects

    Yup, made the request and they reposted them for me . Will get these into Eagle when I'm back from holiday next week. If I get a decent PCB made up, there will be a minimum of 3 pedals out of this little experiment, so maybe 2 up for grabs . I'll probably make it easy on myself and try for PCB mounted pots, so probably looks at a 125b or 1590bb enclosure, but with top-mounted jacks. I've no wish spending hours trying to get it as small as possible haha Si

    [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1428357593' post='2740611'] Have you chaps seen the Gallien Krueger power-amp distortion sim pedal designed in collaboration with Frank from FEA Labs and pedal nut John K over at Talkbass? Full details and schematics are over here: [url="http://www.talkbass.com/threads/gk-rails-in-a-pedal.1122467/"]http://www.talkbass....-pedal.1122467/[/url] Clips: [url="http://soundcloud.com/johnk_10/gk800rbv5"]http://soundcloud.co...nk_10/gk800rbv5[/url] [url="http://soundcloud.com/johnk_10/gk800rbv5-2"]http://soundcloud.co..._10/gk800rbv5-2[/url] I'd love to try one if anyone's up for building me one! [/quote] Can you see what page the final schematics are on? (Not the etched PCB layout, the actual schematic (and not the schem of the original amp)). Si
  3. Don't think so bud , bought mine new around 2003 I think Si
  4. I bought a Warmoth Jazz neck from their shop stock (so not a custom build). Not quite rosewood, but Pau Ferro fingerboard & the steel stiffening rods. It is on the chunky side for a Jazz, but I like it as I usually play a Precision, and they do offer a slim option if necessary. I haven't really noticed the weight of the rods, but I do have Ultralite tuners on it, so that probably offsets the weight. Remember they do the graphite rod option too, much lighter but more money. I must say that it's a lovely neck! Plays beautifully. Si

    I'm only holding off from the Fuzzdog kit because of the size of that switch pot.....so much higher than the standard controls! Si

    [quote name='ColinB' timestamp='1428045440' post='2737312'] Look's like the poodles's work to me. [/quote] Found it, thanks, although the above boards have a different layout. The Fuzzdog (Poodles) one won't fit in a 125b like the above Si

    Trooper Boost number 10 Hand painted by Claire Cousins, unfortunaltly the lacquer had an effect on the paint which lost some detail, but still looks badass IMO [IMG]http://i57.tinypic.com/vh8aqh.jpg[/IMG] Si
  9. I'm going to hold onto mine in the hope it'll become sought after . It's an ok looper, but excellent echo/delay pedal Si

    Filter Quest!

    [quote name='ped' timestamp='1427969140' post='2736383'] Interesting thread and I loved that FT2 review. Just a little shout out for the humble DOD FX25, still my fave filter pedal for the way it squelches the lows. I always found the Q-tron a little 'quacky' for my liking. I don;t have a clip to hand but here's a good one. It reacts quite differently depending on what type of bass you run through it but with the sensitivity set right you can get a really greasy sound: (not me playing) [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQyC1esbDG4"]https://www.youtube....h?v=zQyC1esbDG4[/url] [/quote] I always preferred the FX25B to the straight FX25, added blend . Goes deep too! Si
  11. Someone (I think a member here) made a Pino Spotify playlist if you're that way inclined, listening to it now weirdly enough: https://open.spotify.com/user/owen_liam/playlist/4J0KMwu3HUz9u2joumbZ2Z Si
  12. I fall firmly in the ......'get a 4 string Lakland or if it has to be of those three, the Fender' .....camp. Si
  13. I believe that I remember him speaking about having to transcribe tunes for books. He had to go back and relearn a number of tunes, and so as Stuart says, he might have played something slightly different to the record perhaps. I may be remembering that incorrectly however, it makes sense though. I can't imagine he's overly fussed about playing something per the record when playing it live.......neither should you, use your ear and embellish upon it Si
  14. If this is what enjoyment sounds like.......I never want to experience it again! Sounding good though Jack! Si
  15. All fuzzes are distortion, not all distortion is fuzz Si
  16. Boss Area also has a great section for the CE-2: http://www.bossarea.com/loadpage.asp?file=boxes/ce2.xml This is still a great price for a Taiwan model. Si
  17. Not sure I'd want to run a looper on a battery in a gig situation. I suspect they rinse battery power, and having a digital looping pedal slowly lose juice through a performance would suck lol Si
  18. Big manufacturers don't really have much interest for me, I can see/try their gear at GAK or Andertons, or wherever, at anytime. Fender were there a few years ago and bought some baseman stacks and a few of the new vintage american series, it wasn't a NAMM/Messe style booth Si
  19. These are great delays/loopers, and surprisingly moddable! Si
  20. I went for Pino Palladino & Justin Chancellor.....not asking for much lol Si
  21. I also have trades if interested http://basschat.co.uk/topic/249105-pedal-cull-dod-bi-fet-pre-boss-dod-sonic-kitchen-dha/page__st__30__p__2716392__hl__cull__fromsearch__1#entry2716392 Cheers Si
  22. I believe he is still working on small projects & setups around Newcastle, however his standing on the forum took a massive hit when he stopped completing jobs and returning money/parts or even replying to correspondance (I'm in the hole for around £500 with no sign of that changing, my 'job' started 18months ago). Obviously this is in part due to his unfortunate poor health, which everyone hopes he recovers from, of course health is more important than money etc, however his management of the situation with many members means that I can't say that I'd recommend sending him money for jobs at this time. Si
  23. Bump! Specifically interested in: - Darkglass B3K (2.0 version preferably) - Mooer Slow Engine - Boss RC-30 (or any looper with an XLR input) Si
