Low hanging fruit being only 2 pots and a jack but I’m pretty proud of it. Sons P bass. Factory jack just wouldn’t hold a cord (we’ll try and steer clear of hot dog and hallway jokes). CTS pots and a pure tone jack. Someone tell me why the convention of ground wiring puts the wires soldered to...

Ah just like a dating site this is 10% pretty 75% pedestrian and 15% GOOD GOD WHY!?

Perf/proto board feels like the next step up in between PTP and actual PCB and it’s only as ugly as you make it. For me it’s easier to translate a schematic into perf than Vero but that’s just me and I may just be dumb that way. Perf also offers a little more stability over PTP

I see you and highly approve of all aspects of your build

If it’s not an actual guitar pup I would guess it’s most likely a piezo under the biscuit/bridge like an under saddle acoustic pup. At which point @phi1 would be correct that you will need to pay attention to the input impedance. I have run an acoustic with k&k style pickups (still a piezo) with...

Let’s ask the question then what kind of pickup are you talking when you say “passive”, are we talking something like a contact/piezo/K&K, mic, or a standard wound guitar pickup?

Any slide style guitar without some dirt/fuzz is lacking. But if all he is looking for is more louder then just build him an LPB-1 or go super fancy and build an Equilux

Love the Ruby! Truly a fun little beginner project. Cigar boxes got expensive and scarce there for a while during the cigar box guitar/amp/purse era a few years back. Glad to see projects like these. They really don’t sound all that bad even.

🤣

I have used them in a few builds mostly for ease of potential troubleshooting but have rarely ever had to take advantage of that ability. I had to use one in the Shallow Water because of the space constraints. Frankly I just like the look of the smaller lumbergs and being able to use the power...

Tremulus Loon tremolo. Have built at least 4 and have 0 now. Blues driver. Bought, modded, and sold 1 commercial and have built 2. still use one. Obsidious preamp. Built 3 still have 1. The only other commercial one is the OCD. Bought 2 and they just didn’t work for me either time. Not sure...

You can plug the intelligent relay into the R1 pads either to add or break the clean. I think lifting pin 1 of the 4027 will remove the oct2 but someone needs to put eyes on the schematic besides me

So basically a 3leaf Octabvre

I would expect a refund check to arrive and tariffs to disappear about the same time the Trump phone ships
