What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

Friend wants a ‘70s Muff, so I’ve chosen from the earlier side of that decade; going to build a triangular-based curation. I’ve been choosing values from amongst six versions of the Triangle to get it where I hope it’ll work well for him on guitar and as well on bass for myself. Lots of gain planned for this one.

Key is the 50n clipping caps found on some Triangles, large coupler-caps on others and lastly a modded tone-stack using the HPF of one triangle and the LPF of a different triangle to reduce the mid-scoop and where it’s centred (1300kHz).

Waiting on some correct cap values. Barely got the resistors soldered ‘cause I had to sub in a couple of 1/8w for one of the values 😾; stifled the OCT (obsessive compulsive tendencies) to at least present something for his birthday.

Another friend will be doing the final artwork (nothing like what I mocked up).
 
A digital pedal workflow based on the daisyseed/Funbox. I have the Funbox repository loaded in a Jetbrains IDE, and added an agents file. The planet effects are used as context, and new effects are added alongside them. I describe what I want, it generates C++ code, then I run a build action that compiles it and flashes it to the Funbox.

With the Funbox hooked up to an amp as well, it’s easy to try lots of different ideas quickly.

I didn’t need a wampler course, it took me like 10 minutes to set up. Plus, it’s generating C++, which I can read and review. The big unlock for me is generating the dsp algorithms I don’t understand.

P-2 someone mentioned it in another post, so I knew I had to have one. This thing, as it would turn out, is just a modified G2. It had more fan and bass response. I’m digging it. I see an A250k sustain pot, with a 220k resistor. I also used an A250k pot for the volume without the resistor. Much improvement. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

No suspension sag in action, but how’s getting enough bb drop and stack for reasonable handlebar height?
I have a self contained dropper seatpost. The bottom bracket sits up pretty high on this bike.

For the stem, i have a 35 degree angle 60mm stem that raises the bar height enough.
 
Doing two drum projects at once - This pile of stuff is the tension rods from my new to me Pacific CX maple kit, as well as all the hardware from an old Ludwig Accent kit in jazz sizes I picked up last year. They had a 24 hour bath in evaporust, after which I rinsed them in a colander and dried them by hand. Then I set them out to air dry any residual water overnight and tomorrow I'll do some reassembly.

I stripped the dying wrap off the ludwig kit and need to decide between doing a lot of work making the outer surface smooth so I can spray on a black lacquer (cheaper but more labor intensive) or rewrapping it (more expensive but it'll turn out better). The Ludwig will be a nesting rehearsal kit and the maple Pacific will be the live kit.
 
Yeah. May want to investigate why it burned. There's usually a reason wires turn into fuses
My thoughts as well.... Cant fix it until it's broke though.. Keeping it around the house and playing to see how it's going to behave. I wont trust this one to go out as my live rig until it presents all it's issues.
