What's on the workbench?

Mandolin?! You didn't say nothin about no mandolin.

The deals off, forget everything.

Red-Sauce Restaurant Music only, no Bluegrass. Deal saved!!

OK, question for the acoustic guitar players... (no, this is not like cable TV amnesty week)

Is this weird form factor desirable? Jacks on all sides, pots sticking out the sides, etc....

That's a very good question, and I'm not sure what the answer is. I don't mind side jacks at all (here come the bottles...), but the two pots on the sides are a bit odd. I think they figured people would be really mashing that "boost" button on top and wanted to protect the knobs...?

I think a PPCB-style revamp would be well-received! It's less about the form factor for the Red-Eye, and more that it helps weak piezo pickups shine (as best they can) in a way most other preamps don't. Pretty limited EQ, but still.

No. Might be good for if you keep it on a belt pack or something, but even then I think it’s kinda a suboptimal form factor.

Look, there's a happy little exformer in there!

You got an "Andy K" build!!! That's like a Woodcutter Rat, man!!!

It’s a buffer.

You're really trying to stir shit up today, aren't ya? If he shows up it's on you.

Legend has it that if you say "buffer" three times in a dark room the current slayer will appear.

I can't tell if @Robert is messing with @Bricksnbeatles or vice versa, but I feel like I'm in Groundhog Day

 

[Robert]

You lost me at mandolin.

"Wait.... what'd you just say..?"

 

[Robert]

Watch out for that first step, it's a doozy!

I get the input on the bottom, and loop on one side and XLR on the other - it makes sense as it kinda says plug in and we'll do the rest....
I wonder if version 1 the knobs were at the top and then someone came and asked to fit a battery in it... - it's kinda daft.
fair few transistors and diodes in that!

Sir, I believe you have mistakenly posted a photo of Dr. Werner Brandes. His name is his passport.

Ohhh that’s the trick. I was doing it in the mirror.

We have few national treasures, but Tobo is surely one of them

Surprised no one has even mentioned the fuzz yet... Is it lack of interest or fear for another shit show?

* watches @Nostradoomus excitedly scurry away to the wish list

 

[Nostradoomus]

either or is believable
