I have one the first runs of the Black Eye and love it! I would highly recommend building one.

Now I'm not sure if I want a full station or a pen :unsure:

Ge fuzzes can really test your sanity, especially if they are going into a MK1 Tone Bender. I spent $40 on a transistor set from Small Bear and my MK1 sounded pretty "meh". Thankfully a very generous member here took the time to sort through his stash and test a bunch of Ge transistors until he...

2024 checking in. Any news on this?

$3.50 USD each doesn't seem too bad. I spent $20 for two sets of Fender Jazz Bass knobs for my King of Tone build and $3 each for some Neve/Marconi style wing knobs for a Hudson Broadcast build.

Definitely start with something simple, or you could do what I did and jump into this cluster f*#@ as your very first project. I couldn't even read a schematic when I started on this lol.

I'm still trying to decide what to build for my first DIY amp as there are quite a few solid choices to pick from. Something that I quickly realized is that most of the time building your own will NOT be cheaper than buying something ready to go so saving money shouldn't be the driving factor.

I've been on the hunt for a new soldering station since my 939D started acting up when I came across the KSGER T12. I know the older units did not have a chassis ground but it appears that the newer models do (this one at least) https://a.co/d/fxcEEZY Do any of you have this soldering station...

DMM = Digital Multimeter

Building and storing 30 pedals is significantly cheaper/easier than building and storing 30 amps lol.

I've been thinking about building an amp for a long time now but I can never decided on what to go with.

Thanks! Message sent 👍🏽
