    AI art tip: Microsoft Designer

    Totally agree. If I were to sell what I build, I would commission someone that I like the work of for a series of illustrations for a myriad of reasons. For a one off that will never leave my pedal board, I'll keep doing what I prefer and that is using the tools I have at my disposal that allow...

    AI art tip: Microsoft Designer

    Definitely. I can agree with you on that. I just find it practical to cover an aspect of pedal building I suck at and can't see myself investing time in, and this particular model (with proper prompts) spits out graphics very, very close to the type of pedal graphics I actually like. And for my...

    Prompt: Amateur, crudely drawn line art troll. Hey i needed something for an upcoming pedal, thanks 🤣

    TUTORIAL Basic fret level, crown & polish made easy (picture heavy)

    I use Chris Alop crowning file with the Oak handle and it is great. Diamond, not too coarse so easy to get the marks out with paper afterwards, and a comfortable grip. Can really recommend for that price too...

    AI art tip: Microsoft Designer

    A bit shameful, I know, but I have been doing most of my pedal "art" using either decals or laser engraving. To generate the art, I have been using AI tools - actually only one that is free and generates very "pedal friendly art", https://designer.microsoft.com/ . You can chose a vertical...

    hey, everybody, I'm a stupid moron with an ugly face and a big butt, and my butt smells, and I like to kiss my own butt

    Have to admit I didn't get that much time with the 5150 compared to my former 6505MH so I stand corrected. The fact that the 5150 was through a V30 (that I generally strongly dislike) probably didn't help. But yeah, save money, buy a used Peavey if budget is tight.

    hey, everybody, I'm a stupid moron with an ugly face and a big butt, and my butt smells, and I like to kiss my own butt

    The 6505 MH is actually a great little amp and the power soak function is very decent. It just suffers from the same problem all 5150/6505 suffer from, which is a sizzling high end I really don't personnaly like. With what you mention though, it should be easy to find used, give it a shot and...

    EHX OD Glove trace?

    I would say exact same schematic but couple of values could be different. Sounds like the high pass has either a different frequency or slope. I haven’t looked in details and both pedals were on my board only a short time. Kinda situation were you initially think « l don’t need both they do the...

    EHX OD Glove trace?

    As far as I know it is supposed to be a OCD v2 clone but my diy ocd sounds different from it slightly, even in its v2 mode. The glove has, as you mentioned, slightly less presence at the same setting but it is very very slight.

    Amp Build Help! BE-50 Transformers and Chassis questions.

    I had a quick look at Hammond, their PT won't fit. You might find something somewhere off the shelf but a 100V bias tap is not that common, it's usually 50V, so you'd have to change the bias circuit. But really, a decent transformer company (any size!) can wire you something with 4 secondaries...

    Amp Build Help! BE-50 Transformers and Chassis questions.

    I will attempt to help, although I am NOT a pro. Looking quickly over the schematic, it looks like the accessory tap you mention powers the relay and V1, 2 and 3 heaters through a voltage regulator and rectifier. So you need a 14V - 2.5+amp for this. You can't use a 5V (you'd rectify the 14V...

    WIP Amp build - Deliverance 60 made 2 channels

    Interesting. Thanks for the information. To be perfectly frank, I just "fit the caps" aiming for values, small form factor, and PP on the signal path. I haven't dug at all in these important details for the non-electrolytic caps. I'm currently building yet another guitar, but I was planning on...

    WIP Amp build - Deliverance 60 made 2 channels

    I love my WIMA caps. iirc I made it so signal only goes through polypropylene too cause I am a snob. I tried avoiding axial caps here because my self imposed constraint was a small footprint (so it fits on my desk;) ). Any resistor that could see more than 1W is installed 1mm high - or should...

    WIP Amp build - Deliverance 60 made 2 channels

    PMing Also small update I guess. This amp aged like fine wine. I played a bit with the preamp tubes, and I guess I broke it in well but holy fuck it became even nastier. The trick for me was to use a JJ EC83S in v1, a sovtek in V2, then Psvane for the rest. And keep the mids in check (4/10)...

    Pickup winders? Raise your hands

    I thought about it. I build amps, guitars, pedals, so it would be the next logical step. However I think that's one bit where the investment is not worth it unless you really start doing it at a larger scale. Also, I hate changing pickups :ROFLMAO:

    International Customers for Q-tune kit

    Thanks for looking into this. If anyone is wondering, the screen can be found for 25€ in the EU and (reliably?) 20 something on Aliexpress. And with the lower shipping and kit price, that would put the total under 150€+screen+enclosure so a fair bit cheaper than a full kit direct - especially...

    Nobels ODR-C (Aion Andromeda Deluxe)

    Nice! I really like that circuit too, and works really well as a boost into a high gain channel too.

    Q-Tune DIY Tuner kit

    Freaking hell. I used to get entire guitars shipped for 50$. I honestly cannot help you much with that, I am currently avoiding dealing with the US market for the exact same reasons. I would say that 50$, however I want you guys to succeed (and me to get my hands on a kit), hurts. On our side...
