Wow really? Lol maybe I should try that. With my hottest bass (an Epiphone Embassy Special IV with some genuinely decent-sounding random ceramic P pickup that meters in the 8k range - yes I know) at maximum gain it just bareeeeeeely starts to break up, and none of my other basses get even close...

My Particle Accelerator has a 5751 in it and I think it sounds nice, but does not approach distortion at all (and I'm thinking I might like it to). The sound is warm even with boosted treble/mids (which is OK by me).

Beaver?? This man does not recognize Perry the Platypus!!

"Phenomenal on bass" sounds really promising, this was already on my hit list and now it's moving up :unsure::unsure: Nice build! I actually quite like that colour!

Thank you 🍻 I have a wealth of great builders here to be inspired by and keep up with!

Thanks all! 😊 Paint seems alright so far! Strangely it's more of a fingerprint magnet than I was expecting, but that's the worst of it. Definitely going to be less durable than a powdercoat, but you do what you can. You know it 😂😛

Following closely on the heels of the Particle Accelerator build I recently posted, I also sent the Diplomat enclosure I shared the paint process for (almost a year ago, again, Jesus) away for UV printing in the same package, so naturally that was destined to be my next build a few days later. I...

Thanks for the kind words, all 😊 This is what I was going for, yes - I think I got that from the writeup on your site, which I notice now says F-2B, so there's a non-zero chance I got my wires crossed on that one (but I'll take the accidental association with the Buffalo and Sea Harrier as...

Go buy one You're welcome!

Quite some time ago (almost a year, WTF) I shared my adventures with rattle-can finishing my Sushi Box Particle Accelerator enclosure in the "What's on your Workbench?" thread. Despite the inevitable imperfections, it turned out pretty well, and I was just waiting to find the time and motivation...

I had interpreted it as "up is LEDs" as well.

Glad to be of service! That's a super mint-looking build for your first one, definitely could have fooled me as well. Glad things are working out, it only gets better/more addictive from here 😂

Yep, the non-"S" versions have their onboard oscillator in the audio range and so are unsuitable for our purposes.

Ooh, top tip, thank you. I'll keep an eye out!

I mean, I had the silver hammer enclosure my Nobelium went into arrive with a label reading "Beer", so maybe someone at the factory is having some fun, or these are codenames for something we're not privy to...

Thanks! I think this was anomalous, Tayda has been pretty precise for me every time in the past and these holes were not off by much - if the board was smaller, it wouldn't have been an issue at all.

Last Monday's holiday here in Canada gave me an excuse to finally put together my Nobelium, after a looooooooong time of the parts just sitting next to me on the desk. This is my third @vigilante398 project, and they never cease to be enjoyable builds that give kick-ass results. Here she is...

Kreuzer Submarine! Really awesome tone-conditioning type of bass preamp. Really happy to see this here. EDIT: Or rather the Zeibek pedal of the same name, which I think was a collab with Kreuzer...? 🤔

Fourth leg is the "body". In some circuits, this is just tied to the emitter - try that first.
