    NBD - Frankenpeavey

    New bass day has arrived and it's been a long time coming. I found this peavey t40 body and Mexican jbass neck online for super cheap over a year ago and have been slowly collecting the rest of the parts. My first bass was a Mexican J and when I dropped it in highschool breaking 2 tuners, I had...

    Favorite amp replacement pedal?

    I've built all three, you won't get much dirt out of the PA. I use the PA in my practice rig as a pedal platform to test other pedals as it can quickly be dialed in for both bass and guitar. Your assumption is correct, the bassdude is more versatile but I really really like the sound of the...

    Favorite 1590XX builds

    My favorites of that size are the Sushibox Nobelium and ppcb duophase. My favorite combo in an xx box is my madbean Junk trunk/ brown dog.

    PPCB Trademark

    TLDR: 110 I don't keep very good notes but I think the ac127 was around 85 hFE. I've actually had the lid off of this pedal some recently because I had the suspicion that 85 was too low. I thought it sounded amazing with the bias at zero and then it would just get maybe too gated at the other...

    PPCB Trademark

    This thing was yet another blunder free effort. Hardest part was choosing a germ since I had a few that sounded good. I got ahold of a 2sd352 but I think the hfe was a little high so I ended up going with an AC127 that was closer to the right spec. Sounded much better. This fuzz is pretty...

    PPCB Deaf Boyardee

    It's not like it's bad, it's just not a top tier bass dirt to my ears. It's definitely better than ok. I'm not tempted to mod it at this point. It was just built in a batch along side a moonn cuddles, a trademark and an octaking. It was the least bassy in the group but to be fair it was up...

    PPCB Deaf Boyardee

    One more thing, I was partially inspired to build this because of the amazing name. I used this logo on one of my early combo builds for an old band mate.

    PPCB Deaf Boyardee

    This one's pretty interesting. I admittedly have been fairly underwhelmed with my DBA related builds. My favorite was the dirty verb and I hate verb. I also enjoy the robot but it's so over the top abrasive, it's not exactly useful. This little fuzz is a nice amount of weird while still sounding...

    3x Moonn: Cuddles, Mammal, Bassifier

    I'm more and more into my BDSM every day. Seriously though, just when I thought I was over devi fuzzes..... I was thinking the worse setting would be silly but it's fun as hell.

    DEMO The Gnat Fuzz!

    Yeah man, good stuff. I actually just built (not boxed) one last week. I tested my germs but I wasn't sure what the optimal hfe/ leakage were for a proper buzzaraoud. I started with a low leakage 60/80/120 hfe set of GT310B and I have yet to find a better sounding transistor for Q3. With almost...

    Darkadiator rate mod?

    Not yet. I did put 10uf caps back in and nada.

    Darkadiator rate mod?

    Update, I socketed c6 and c7. Indeed, 22uf was slower and 4.7uf was faster but now suddenly my lfo has died... I wonder what's borked now?

    DEMO Seldom mentioned 90's Dirt Boxes (Dirt Monger XT-2, PW-2, Bass Grunge)

    I remember judging anther kid harshly back in the late 90's for using the bass grunge. As expected, he sounded terrible but I'm mature enough now to say that it wasn't 100% DOD's fault.
