What's in the mailbox? 📬 📦

[Nostradoomus]

Yeah. No goodies from outside the Thunderdome for the time being. Stinks as I was getting some good hauls from Taiwan and the UK. I was going to get 1200 OCP71s from the UK when all this started for $150 or something stupid cheap. The seller had a few listed but a pic of a ton and I DMd them and they offered at that price. But every time they listed it, I couldn't buy it for some reason--some ebay restriction. I just started filtering for US only after that.

Let a Canadian brother know next time and we can share the haul sans tariffs

I mean I would never subvert the wonderful, benevolent government ever. Yeah, that’s it.

Never. During these difficult times, we must think of all the starving bureaucrats.

Empyrean Deluxe likely coming soon, too.

Not gonna lie.. about 20% of my builds end of as gifts to two very longtime friends.. (30+ years now,) Half the shit I build are things I had interests during my 1995-2010 “high school/college/broke-as-shit” days and finally now squarely in my mid-40s, have the time/tools/desire/wherewithal to complete.

New batch of GuitarPCB boards and faceplates arrived today

1mm fiberglass, and very straightforward graphics/color choices. I’ll pick up more of these.

First pedal I bought when I was a kid. Now I collect them. This one was surprising. I snagged it off Reverb. It’s a very early one because it has the trademark. It might be the second cleanest one in my collection and it came with the box and the manual. Circa 1980

Dang that's clean.

Tiny mark on top, but I only have one cleaner! I wonder how many more years the components will last

I may have accidentally purchased a pick-and-place machine.

Sounds pretty accidental.

Sounds pretty accidental.

These things have been known to happen. My wife has a special eye roll for it by now.

Got me some short caps for tight builds

Whoops. Hey, accidents happen. Last week my card fell out of my wallet and landed on the tap-to-pay at the guitar store. Nothing I could do about it. Gotta be more careful I guess.

 

[SpringReverbFan1234]

Just received a Tayda order. Now I can proceed with rehousing my tuner. The dimensions on my drill template were pretty good but not perfect. Gonna be a little more work but it'll do. Color is pearl gray.

I also had another accident…



Last analog delay I swear!

The finish is not the most forgiving when it comes to fingerprint marks. But the build quality is solid. I’ll try it out tomorrow.

For a second there I thought it was a Moog and I almost had an accident myself.
