Hi guys,
I'm currently putting together a Fender/parts Precision build.
Instead of posting the spec, I'll wait until it's finished (much more fun )
Instead, I'll open it up to the floor for a bit of a guessing game........aaaaaaaaand go!

I've never used a heatsink.
With diodes and transistors also, I'll solder one leg, then do something else, then do the others. Just breaks up the heat to the component.
I'll also socket all ICs, most transistors, and some diodes

That looks nice Si. Is that the Big Beefy? (Can't quite figure out some of Poodle's naming conventions!)

Yes it's the Big Beefy (BB Pre)
Si
Very cool that you've made such progress with it .
As you point out, the next challenge will be mounting in an enclosure and determining what controls can be included on the pedal.
Great project!

Finished the PedalParts Bass BB Pre last night. Sounds great, slightly less bass than the Xotic, although still more than enough to not lose any from your signal. More gain than the Xotic and not as compressed to my ears:

Boxed it up today and looking forward to putting it in place tomorrow. The idea is this: Using the crossover on the back of my SWR SM400 head I intend to send the high frequencies (350Hz or so and up) to the valve O/D and leave the fundamentals (up to E at the edge of the fretboard) untouched.
We shall see...

Pictures please (I shouldn't need to ask )
Interested to hear how the blend works in conjunction with the crossover!

I have been pondering that question myself

Let me know, I'm keen for an Enabler, can sort out the rest with cash or further trades perhaps
Si
I'm afraid I don't know, this is the first Darkglass I've owned, the pedal came (2nd hand) like this to me
On holiday at the moment, so will try and get some photos sorted when I get back
Cheers
