I’ve not built it so my opinion is rather uninformed, but would it be possible to put it in 1590BB without the boost and throw in an extra jack for optional boost switch a la JHS red remote?

I really like Bluesbreaker-based circuits in general and have tried most of these (either PPCB, retail, or both). My thoughts: Bluebreaker - ironically, one of the few I have not got around to trying out yet :P Paragon/Paragon Mini/Pauper - have owned a couple of KoT and PoT's as well as...

See Schmorg, smash like, as per usual.

I’m curious: anyone tried out this guy (or the “real” Nobel) on acoustic guitar? I’m kind of spitballing around the idea of putting together a dual-purpose bass/acoustic board as I find myself using similar effects on both. Wondering if it wouldn’t also work to add some nice tubey goodness as an...

Tbh I kinda like the look of them on “innie” power jacks too (power jack, white washer, enclosure, nut) but to be fair I’m seemingly in the pro-white-washer minority 😂

Go Pack Go! ;) Looks great! I’d be interested to give it a try. I like harmonic trem but often struggle to find uses for me.

Good ol’ butt hash

I’m repeating myself but I just stick with Ernie ball too. The sweep feels the most natural or “right” to me and it’s easy to work on/repair if need be. String replacement is a 5 minute job once you’ve practiced a bit and even replacing the potentiometer is not difficult either. Parts are fairly...

I test it with the lid off and if I decide it’s a keeper I just slam the bad screw home with an impact driver lol (Otherwise just screwing it in until you meet resistance, backing out, and repeating typically works okay for me)

Wow, this is killer!! Think you need to post that Meteora build now too, if you haven’t already…

I had a similar arrangement about a year ago and used these hinges. They say 90 degree, but I found they closed a bit beyond that, probably about 15 degrees past if my math is roughly accurate. A little messy/busy in there, but you get the idea. Buncha power stuff, buffer on the input, stereo...

As in the previous thread my vote would still be the Bigsky as it's just the best of the best in my experience. I have not played the Chase Bliss or UA yet. Actually come to think of it, I've not had a collider either, but HAVE owned both the Nemesis and Ventris which I believe it's more or...

I have made a couple of "audition boxes" for this purpose. Goodwood, Vertex, etc make them (and more full-featured ones generally) but they are really pretty simple devices. At the heart of it, it's just an input jack connected to two switched "send/return" jacks that then connect to your...

Hi all, so maybe a silly question but something that's came up for me a few times...I'm curious how to know how to label toggle switches and/or how to know which direction is doing what. I'll use the Chase Tone Secret Preamp / Clandestine as an example. On the retail version of the pedal, UP...

This is one of those pedals that I always feel like sounds really nice for other people to play. Like whenever I hear someone playing theirs I really dig it. But yeah, hard time getting it to sound nice for me.

A few quick things that come to mind: Get in a band somewhere, somehow. I had the good fortune of spending a couple years touring all over the place and can comfortably say nothing advanced my playing quite like that time. Learn your inversions and how to play the same chord(s) in every...

YESSSSSS I’ve been lowkey meaning to ask/beg for something for ages now!!

Ever have a stupid simple project that just gives you fits? I feel silly for even asking about it… but for like a month now on and off I’ve been trying to put together a simple AB switch in a 1590A to be able to swap between two guitars and one output. First one of the LEDs burned up. I took...

Quick question. I’m short one tc1044 charge pump for a build for a friend. I’ve got a clandestine which I know uses one, and have a spare 18v tap on my PSU. Would there be any problem with pulling the charge pump from the clandestine and just plugging it in at 18v? I couldn’t remember if it...

I’m becoming more and more fond of mine. Initially I assumed it’d be placed early in the chain too. When I built the little “audition” loop into mine, the loop’s placed after the pedal output so anything in the loop comes post-preamp since I figured that’s where I’d be trying out new dry...
