went to check on viola pink availability... (still 'out of stock') boom - another new metallic candy! https://www.taydaelectronics.com/hardware/enclosures/1590b-style-1/metallic-candy-orange-125b-style-aluminum-diecast-enclosure.html

heck yes. 30 yrs?! that'd have to be a genuine original big box :love:

might have to whip out the squier PB next time and do another bass demo seems to be a popular one for bass, but i was still surprised at how well it worked, even with the sustain cranked. always down for the chicklets if i can fit them 🤟

after building the kewpie fuzz, damn was i hooked, not just with the sound, but the whole BMP evolution, so I fell down a big muff rabbit hole and was compelled to build another one. ive done a handful of altoids builds before, but never with top jacks. always kinda scoffed at top jack layouts...

ayyy that's the spirit 🤟

update: 1) per @mybud 's recommendation, I had a go at including those superfluous I/O jack ground pads. soldered in a jumper each, returned them to the ground star at the input jack. no change. absolutely no effect on idle noise. pulled these back out, returned to a single ground lead. 2)...

golly gosh 6 or 7? alright 🤙🏻 with that many i might even be able to try them in a suhr riot build i’ve just started

yep, no issues with posting a clip to youtube (very basic though - SM57+2i2+iphone)

i wouldn't expect you to actually send them all the way to australia, but if you really want to hear them... 🤷‍♂️ im sure there's someone closer that has a klon build you could have them put in.

come on mate, this isn't TGP ;)

not gonna lie, if you really wanted to send me a couple low leakage examples - ill happily chuck a pair in my klon build, do an A/B comparison playthrough, and see what we get... (wont be cheap though) all my builds are ugly as fuck, so i honestly don't give a shit what these diodes look like...

how much is global shipping over the pacific ocean? shipping costs (for me) are often prohibitive. I am never going to spend $40 to ship $10 worth of stuff. fuck that. not gonna find any of that shit here in mad max land.

absolutely. or just use solid core :p

no idea, but make sure pin 1 of the tone pot isn't touching anything (especially ground) - check continuity etc.

so you're implying yours was noisy too? good point... as redundant as they appear, maybe those I/O jack sleeve ground pads actually need continuity to ground for something or other..? seems dumb though, you'd think a star arrangement with a single ground lead to the board would be ideal.. (to...
