What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

Any guesses?

ok not exactly a pedal, but an ups, i changed all capacitors but i can't find these relays in europe or equivalent, the problem it gives me is a continuous clack and suddenly it goes completely off, so i guess it's the relays , the battery is ok.

I see some on ebay, seller looks okay I guess...but not sure about it going to Europe?

A guitar pedal?
I'm guessing an overdrive with hard/soft clipping?

Close enough its a 3 band rat with a switch for asymmetric LED/silicon clipping options.

It looks cool! I couldn't make out the IC..how does it sound?

I actually havent gotten it to testing, went 8 straight hours getting it to that point dont want to push it and make a mistake! but theres an op07 in there, its from tayda so

Tayda IC's 'should' be fine, it's the variance of manufacturer tolerances that kink things, 1 batch of phono jacks will be 9mm/ 11/32th another time they'll need a hole 3/8th /9.5mm.

I’m intrigued.

Found some tubes at a yard sale last week for a buck each. Decided to try out a ruby tuby build. So far I’m not wowed hoping it’s a bit better in an enclosure.

Got it in the enclosure. Got it plugged into a little Marshall 1x12 cab from one of their mini stacks I borrowed from a buddy and I now for sure approve of this thing.

Finally upgraded my Tagima Strat with some bootstrap pickups golden ales and all CTS and Switchcraft components. Sounds so much better now that I got rid of the ceramic cheapo pickups.

Also I don’t think I’ve ever seen pots as small as the ones that came with this guitar. But really I think the difference in tone must come down to the cloth pushback wire…

 

[ADAOCE]

Also is anyone else using a blender circuit in their strat? It’s pretty neat I like being able to put a little snap into the neck and neck/mid positions

 

[ADAOCE]

I’m about to rewire mine and I’m goi g to use the classic 3 way switch, master volume and tone, and middle pickup blender setup

Oh that’s another interesting take on the blender circuit. I could see that being better than the 5 way just due to simplicity.

Another Jimi original pcb?

The deucetone has been around for a while now, I just thought it would be cool to make one. I’ve never seen a PCB for it. It will have switching jacks to run one into the other or run them independently. I thought about this for the screamer, I was just too lazy to implement it. It can always be done though, I left that door open.

 

[BryGuy]

Your pcb work keeps getting better.

Thank you sir. It's fun to mess around with.

The Deucetone is the only ProCo Product I own. I'll gladly snag a board if they become available, though

You got it! How do you like it?

I love it. Covers pretty much every dirt sound I'd want, and works as my grab n go for impromptu jam sessions
