    Another Amp Project - the Dino Deluxe 5E3!

    Gah... looks like one of my tubes is kaputt... I think I accidentally damaged it when I was reinstalling after the initial tests... :( New matched pair on order... *sigh* Edit - new tubes are in... sounds awesome again - no hum... W00T!

    Another Amp Project - the Dino Deluxe 5E3!

    Great ideas! Like I mentioned - I'm thinking of doing a RobRob mod and maybe experimenting a bit more with it. I like the sound - it's a straightforward build (even with the mods) - I just need to come up with a good chassis for it...

    Another Amp Project - the Dino Deluxe 5E3!

    So, for my first 5E3 build I decided to pretty much go stock - but I may build another with the RobRob mods... though I want to design a custom chassis for that - and I may build it as a head rather than a combo. Enough preamble - on to the pictures! For this build I once again used a bit of...

    Aion Amethyst Analog Delay (Boss DM-2)

    I've got a couple of these to build. I've built one of the Tone Geek Aqua Puss clones, and that one uses multi-turn trimmers. My biggest concern with this particular build is that it has the single turn (or not even a complete turn) trimmers in it, which means dialing it in may be a bit of a pain.

    Capturing a Legend's Sound - PedalPCB Scenario Preamp

    So I had a request for a standalone build of the Gladio SC preamp. I'm a huge SRV fan, so I figured it would be a fun build! PedalPCB has a clone of the Gladio SC released as the Scenario Preamp. As with all PedalPCB boards, it is well laid out and all of the components are easy to identify...

    P-1 Second Buffer Stage Toggle

    That was one of my concerns about the SPDT as well... Hurm... I may just have to breadboard this up to see the impact of the phase inversion...

    P-1 Second Buffer Stage Toggle

    So, say I wanted to toggle the second buffer stage of a Cornish P1 where it could either be on or off... Can I get away with using an SPDT on/on toggle like this: Or should I use a DPDT on/on and completely isolate the second buffer: I'm leaning toward the second option...

    A Custom Vintage Thagomizer! (Colorsound Power Boost)

    Unless you've been under a rock, you'll know that the Colorsound Power Boost is one of Steggo's favorite pedals - especially with the volume knob mod. It can work anywhere from a mostly clean boost to a very nice dirty boost. It's also an essential piece of kit if you're wanting to try and...

    GuitarPCB Nostaligtone 70s - Excellent Much Better Than I Expected.

    Looks great! Glad to start seeing some build reports on these. I've actually picked this one up... need to get it built... but it's unfortunately down the list a bit at the moment

    GuitarPCB DSOTM

    That looks amazing!!!! I've thought about picking one of these up... of course, I've also considered trying to "roll my own" - I just can't seem to cram enough effects into one box yet! :D

    A Klon Without the Charge Pump - EL Skeleklone - Dino-ized!

    I've built several... issue is when you pair it with a vintage electric mistress - the whole thing squeals...

    Bulk buying components

    I build a lot of pedals... and sell a few on the side... so I buy in bulk a lot... I mostly buy from Mouser, but I pick up the oddball stuff all over... Resistors I generally buy at least 50, more likely 100, except for the things I need a lot of (10K ohm, 100K ohm, etc.) - that starts at...

    A Klon Without the Charge Pump - EL Skeleklone - Dino-ized!

    The aviation grade hook-up wire is this stuff from Tube Depot: https://tubedepot.com/products/22-ga-tin-plated-aerospace-grade-tefzel-wire-100-feet I'm going to try the Clown Centurion next - I've got some boards in hand, just haven't gotten them into the build queue.

    A Klon Without the Charge Pump - EL Skeleklone - Dino-ized!

    I'd run into issues with Klon clones not playing nicely with some of my vintage effects - especially the Electric Mistress. After a bit of digging, apparently this is a fairly well-known issue, so I went in search of some Klon-like effects without a charge effect to see if 1) they would play...

    Very good point, I was looking at it from being able to provide some sort of support to the family, but looking at it from a different angle now's likely not the time.

    Dang - those are some awesome looking pedals and boards. Is the family still selling any? I'd love to support them.
