I've been using Alpha 3PDT from Banzai for the last few builds. I much prefer them, less of a heavy clunk than the standard blue ones. Si

Let's assume that your pedal board is fully true bypass (so no Boss pedals etc). If you run your passive instrument via a long cable into your pedalboard, then I'd put a buffer at the start. If you run 3-4 pedals, you're probably not going to need a buffer really unless you're using the aforementioned long instrument cable. If you're running a short cable from your instrument into 12 pedals, I'd pop a buffer in the middle or the end. If you're running a long cable into a pedalboard of lots of pedals, I'd have one at the start and one at the end. Bear in mind that some pedals (most notably Fuzz Face based fuzz pedals HATE a buffered signal fed to them (hence why they don't work well with active instruments). Also have in mind that if you use any Boss pedals (there are others, DOD, some EHX, some boutique, B7K), basically buffered pedals, these work as your buffer, you don't need a little boutique buffer taking up extra space. A Boss tuner at the start (or wherever you need it as above) will usually do the trick. Si

POG has a really good Octave up in my opinion, but it's octave down lacks any kind of body. It pales in comparison against the OC-2 (forget the OC-3). If you have space on your board, OC-2 for lows, then wait for the new smaller POG Nano for your octave up needs. Si

I built the GGG Green Russian Muff (with added Mid control) and it's great, really great muff tone! Si

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

Don't think so bud , bought mine new around 2003 I think Si

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

Where are the PCBs and ICs from bud? Looking great!! 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

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

[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

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

I fall firmly in the ......'get a 4 string Lakland or if it has to be of those three, the Fender' .....camp. Si

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

If this is what enjoyment sounds like.......I never want to experience it again! Sounding good though Jack! Si

All fuzzes are distortion, not all distortion is fuzz Si

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
