So . . . . a friend of mine builds well-powered tube pre's. He also drops them into a mini-switching amp so that he can get pre and power onto a pedal board. His stuff is NOT starved plate. Sounds like heaven. https://www.juleamps.com/page3.html

I am using a DC jack that is plastic and isolated - so far so good. I hope you can find that schematic that cane to mind - and thx for hunting it down!

I am likely to build something similar - a summing buss for 4 pedals with a master bypass - and intend to use Tayda's red/green self-indicating switches. Your post inspired this. THAT said . . . . Is your DC power source isolated from the enclosure or do they share your box's ground?

Warm temperatures, thin coats and perhaps even a low temperature oven (170 degrees max) are your friends in this process. Most store-bought clear coatings take longer to cure than color coatings - as much as a week or more if it is laid on thick. Most are not as hard and scratch resistant as...

Piano wind AND flats are a difficult task - tried them both and was too inefficient with them. The Roto piano design is brilliant - it allows player placement of the ball end so you can minimize the distance from saddle to full wrap.

Thx!

What a great gadget - to you have a schematic for this?

welp - just put an order in for 6 of the 1n4678's. Hope I can find a use for 'em. 🤪

I know these particular diodes are not called out in the components list, but it appears one can never have too many diodes. o.0 I ask because I am able to pull the trigger on the rotary switches (YAY! and THX!) and must make a purchase of $5+

I design basses, strings, cabinetry and processing equipment as my day gig, with the express purpose of making guitars and basses do things they were not necessarily intended to - although CERTAINLY capable of. This pedal adventure is in part an opportunity to build what is otherwise a unicorn...

so . . . . which is the frog? The bee or the wrench? 🤪

I don't buy in to being where the wave can fully physically form. Most practice spaces are not big enough for this, and yet there is an abundance of bass present in rehearsal spaces. Anywhere along a sound wave's path/journey that frequency's presence exists, no matter where you stand along it...

Can we get a top shot please? Mighty tidy build!

Standing waves and 'cabin gain' are going to be a greater concern. But only if you're ACTUALLY getting those frequencies back out of your rig in the first place. Most bass fuzzes or bass-specific distortion pedals are notorious for 'losing' bottom end. Any pedal with an octave effect can worsen...

Did you make your own faceplate?

LOVE the silhouettes!

Thanks. Is there a sonic reason for choosing one over the other?

I am ignorant af with such things - Are Q1-4 omitted as there are surface mount alternates in Q5-8?

If I out-live my Fluke I WILL come by that Hantek. I LOVES me my espresso . . . . .
