    C2C BassDude (Fender 5B6 Tweed Bassman Preamp)

    I may have to use the Tayda drilling service for my next C2C build. Have you built the Tungsten yet? I'm on the fence with that one. Aside from the XLR out, I'm not sure how much difference there is to the Particle Accelerator. @vigilante398 ?

    C2C BassDude (Fender 5B6 Tweed Bassman Preamp)

    I can't believe I never posted a build report of this. I had every intention to, and thought I did. I just pulled this out again after sitting on the shelf all year and just floored at how great it sounds! This is the early 50's 5B6 version of the Tweed Bassman, not the more familiar 5F6A...

    Thumbucker Compressor (ValveWizard Engineers Thumb)

    Well the volume of my build reports lately is more of "catching up" a years worth of builds. But then, when I get on a roll, I can get pretty zoned in......

    Thumbucker Compressor (ValveWizard Engineers Thumb)

    Well it's been a minute since I built a compressor.:) I actually built the Thumbsucker a couple of years aso. Build report here. I was just so enamored with the General Tso at the time, and I didn't really know how to use a "more knobs" compressor very well. I wound up gifting it to a buddy...

    How do YOU clean your boards?

    99% IPA isn't worth the cost. Once you open it it becomes like 85%. I get the 91% as it's the best deal. $3 at Walmart for a bottle.

    NEIN! (Fairfield Circuitry ~900 Fuzz)

    That's 22 AWG buss wire. the big poly cap is a Panasonic ECQ-B 10nf. The last of them in my stash. I'm so sad they disco'd those caps. The small ones are more red in color. This are probably KYETs. The brown ones are Silver Mica 220pf caps. Last of those as well but those are available, just pricey.

    NEIN! (Fairfield Circuitry ~900 Fuzz)

    It's definitely not the usual "out in left field" type pedals from Fairfield. It's like the Chop Chop of fuzzes..... :ROFLMAO:

    Anvil Fuzz (MojoHandFx Iron Bell)

    I got this board some time ago and sat on it for years. When I found it in my stash I had to try to remember why I got it hahaha. But one look at the MojoHand website reminded me, it's supposed to be a Gilmour tribute. I have to admit it has taken me some time to warm up to this fuzz. It...

    NEIN! (Fairfield Circuitry ~900 Fuzz)

    Couple of fuzzes to report. I finished this one up yesterday and still learning the curves on it. As with most Fairfield circuits, the controls are super interactive. There's an "Input" control that adjusts the gain going to the first MU amp stage. The "Fuzz" control is actually an "input"...

    Yamaha OD10-MII (Sheepy Love OD87)

    That gold top got converted. It's now a P90 neck, Humbucker bridge. I have a Planet Tone P90 and a Wolftone Dr. Vintage in the bridge.

    Yamaha OD10-MII (Sheepy Love OD87)

    I believe they are KYET brand. I love them. You can squeak them into tight spaces.

    This week on the Breadboard: The Emerald Green Overdrive

    Yah, it was the order where I bought a couple of AC127's and one of them was dead. Of course I didn't realize that for 6 months....heh. And we're talking SmallBear, of course I paid too much :ROFLMAO:. Definitely this circuit takes some auditioning to find the best sounding Ge. I tried some...
