What's in the mailbox? 📬 📦

A couple boards form PedalPCB. The Precipice Overdrive which I embarrassingly messed up the first attempt. Mounted the pots wrong and Blue Yonder (Mizuki Blue) board. Guess I’m on a Greer kick! Enclosures and other few parts from stompboxparts to box those projects as well as the Hybrid Fuzz Driver I’ve been working on. Ordered the black, Aqua Vein and Tomic Gold. Also a couple tubes on the way as well. 😁One is a JAN CBS 12AX7WA from the looks of the construction and the other is a Raytheon, or Hit-Ray rather, 12ax7. I’ve been enjoying some MIJ tubes lately! They’re extremely underrated.
 
A couple of things coming together. My first PCB-design (a variation on the twin-face PCB, but with more on-board biasing choices), a different audio jack pcb, and some Sovtek germaniums to test and use. Not showing, some copies of the Pelota 2 delay, as well. If anyone wants one of the Pelota 2's, I have a couple extras to spare, if anyone wants one.

I ordered this in December last year only to find it MIA and apparently untraceable.

It's a spring reverb (or Belton brick) unit for modular. I plan to build the spring version for fun, given that I have made several failed attempts before (a long and frustrating history which I'll spare you).

Anyway, I visited our local post office yesterday and they managed to find it eventually. So, wish me luck with yet another attempt at spring reverb goodness...

Did the Disappearing Act PCB I sent you ever arrive?
 
No. They lost it, sorry to say. They kind of shrugged their shoulders and said 'sorry, nothing we can do without a tracking number.'

It happens, as we know, so no stress. Please don't worry about it (y)
TBH, spring reverb circuits appear to be my special nemesis. I had a working one which I messed up, then unsuccessfully attempted Griffin FX's version, the Disappearing Act (well) disappeared, so this is my last attempt. If this fails, I must accept that it's not meant to be and live without a spring (reverb) in my step somehow.

Fresh out the mailbox after a 3 month wait; New body from Warmoth!

One piece Mahogany body. Inca Silver top, natural back, black binding. Routed for P90s and a Hipshot hardtail bridge. I should note that for a a painted body with binding they quote 17-18 weeks. This shipped 12 weeks to the day!

The neck is from Musikraft. Mahogany/Indian Rosewood. '69 U Custom Shop profile. They fit great and even match visually pretty closely aside from the gloss v matte finishes. I can't wait to start working on this.

Warmoth does great work! I have been tempted for years to make a custom build and I always talk myself out of it…
