Thanks! This gives me some good ideas to try.

Yes, the octave effect is more noticeable up there.

Q2: 4.0V Q3: 4.3V But… Q1 base is only showing 1.2V

Hi, I built this fuzz circuit tonight and am wondering how to change the bias on it. It just isn’t quite fuzzy enough, sounds a bit choked and Velcroy, spitty. Here is the schematic. For Q1 & Q2 I’ve got hFE values of 354. For Q3 I’ve got an hFE value of 320. Also, I had to sub the 500k...

Anyone want to recommend a PedalPCB board that would work best as an EQ for upright bass?

Ok, thank you.

Examples:

I didn’t have a lug version of the potentiometer I needed. So, I removed the legs from a PCB mount version of the values I needed. (See photos.) When I soldered wire to it I either destroyed the pot or couldn’t get a good connection. Is there a good way to solder to a pot where the legs have...

Thank you. The reason I was asking is because I’m building one and wanted to keep the 3 controls inside as trim pots to simplify the external UI but wasn’t sure that would work. This helps.

Does changing modes reset the controls positions on Spatialist? In other words, if I have the control 1, 2, & 3 where I like them and then switch modes, then switch back, do the values get reset where I’ll need to move them around to the settings back? … What if I unplug power and plug it back...

What would happen if I used a B25K potentiometer in a Sproing Reverb instead of the suggested A10k potentiometer?

It is a Fender 6 string bass like this...

He’s an advanced musician in terms of percussion but somewhat new to the bass.
