Chela OD (Talons) & Captain Bit (Bit Commander)

[Dali]

I'm still learning and while not as clean as you guys, I'm getting a bit better.

Changing my solder to 63-37 will make my next ones way cleaner. I also just got 3PDT Breakout Board that will also help. Frankly, I was just too lazy to start again those once I got "real" pots that I could solder on the board.

Looking good!

Looks great! First Chela build I've seen. I have one in the queue. How do you like it? Has a ton of gain, right? Are the tone controls tuned to your liking? I'm going to put a switch on mine to take the diodes out and lower the gain so it can also be used as a clean boost.

Don't laugh at my playing... I'm just making some sounds.

Nice looking builds!

Where did you get those jacks? They're crap. Seriously, plugs will get stuck in them or fall out.

 

[Dali]

I hear you @Chuck D. Bones ! I already bought better ones from Tayda. Same for my pots. All thrown away those AlieExpress China crap...

The more you know...

Sorry if I sounded a little harsh before. I removed that jack from a Chibson. Decent body & neck, crap electronics. My daughter's Squier Affinity Strat came with that same shitty jack in it.

Sorry if I sounded a little harsh before.

Don't feel sorry. I'm the Canadian after all...

You just warned me about crappy parts (they are). I have a Hummingbird/Woodpecker 99% built but waiting for a non-crappy 2N6027 bought on eBay so as I gain little experience I understand the value of quality parts. I never felt you were rude. You're helpful.

Good luck with your eBay purchase. Getting semiconductors from eBay sellers has been pretty hit & miss for me. Lately I have been lucky. I have a buttload of 2N1308s coming in today, can't wait to test 'em.
