    Tayda Electronics - Have you got photos of these colours? Brown Sugar, Black Sand Texture, Grey Sand Texture

    I don't have any photos on hand but I really like all of Tayda's sand texture enclosures. Good quality and quite durable from what I can tell. On the other hand while I quite like the color/look of the Glimmer Brown Sugar it is perhaps the most fragile enclosure finish I've ever encountered...

    Madbean Sludgehammer (Sansamp Bass DI) OR the good, bad, and ugly of my bass adventure…

    Not sure if this will get much traction any further but if anyone has any input on a fairly common bass dilemma... I've more or less settled on getting a P-bass but am going back and forth between trying to find a decent CV Squier or paying up a bit more for a Fender Player series... The...

    Madbean Sludgehammer (Sansamp Bass DI) OR the good, bad, and ugly of my bass adventure…

    2 small addendums. 1. I’m not totally sold on the knobs. I went on the smaller size since it’s 6 knobs and didn’t want any space issues but now I’m kinda feeling like they actually look a bit undersized. I’m wanting something kind of lowkey, a bit utilitarian or industrial vibe. Any ideas for...

    Madbean Sludgehammer (Sansamp Bass DI) OR the good, bad, and ugly of my bass adventure…

    Finished up (mostly) a Sludgehammer build today. I’m working on putting together a bass pedalboard and wanted some kind of ampsim/DI solution. It’s getting partnered with Chuck’s Bass Klon, Broughton HLPF (Frequency Interchange), an M9, and an old mini rat clone I’ve had kicking around. Should...

    Anyone else having issues with Tayda Chromium Enclosures?

    I would echo some of the same - I don't actually have many (if any) problems with the drilling itself at all. But using a spring-loaded center punch has made the last few chip BAD. I mean like, little chips of the powdercoat noticeably flying off the enclosure with force :P And beyond that as...

    Anyone else having issues with Tayda Chromium Enclosures?

    I don't purchase enclosures at nearly the volume of some others here, but personally speaking I feel like while some of the metallic finishes have always been a little fragile, it's seemed to me like across the board Tayda's enclosures have just been a bit more flimsy when it comes to their...

    Zen(ish)

    Quite interested in how you went about that finishing process (as I fully intend to steal it, tbh :P) Did the miracle-gro application go on the whole enclosure? It looks like the aluminum has a bit of corrosion too. Anything to "seal" it or does copper shielding tape just stick and stay put to...

    Let's talk more about buffers: Too many?

    Nothing too groundbreaking to report, but… I went ahead and swapped all the Strymon big boxes to true bypass mode. As I understand it buffered bypass is required for “trails” but I don’t find myself needing to switch off my delay/reverb and have trails persist enough that would require this…...

    Let's talk more about buffers: Too many?

    Definitely a noticeable difference. Plugging straight in is just fine, exactly as I would expect/want to hear...once everything else is added in - even bypassed - it's just a lot more brittle feeling. Straight into the amp (well, Amp sim - I use an Iridium) has a little bit of compression of its...

    Let's talk more about buffers: Too many?

    I, like many others (I suspect) have had a bit of a complicated relationship with buffers and/or buffered bypass pedals. I spent a long time believing the school of thought that says "True Bypass or Die" and then swung the other direction and said "High quality buffers are good and can only...

    Ground/power issue - JHS Little Black Buffer (Vero)

    I think you are probably right about that, makes sense the more I think about it....But i am still perplexed as to why neither pedal would work if the "sides" were flipped...

    Ground/power issue - JHS Little Black Buffer (Vero)

    Hi all, a bit of a strange issue here. I assume it is something with my buffer's ground wiring, but I am not totally sure... I'm getting power from a Truetone CS7. All of the ports on it are tested and working properly on their own. I have one of the ports with a splitter cable plugged into it...

    Two competing designs for Sproing Deluxe enclosure

    I can’t really decide… I think I like #1 better in general but #2 seems a better “thematic” fit for this particular pedal… #2 also gives me a bit of a Junji Ito/Uzumaki vibe… or maybe Bayonetta lol

    Question for Paragon (etc) users

    I’ve owned a handful of Bluesbreaker variants (both “real” and PedalPCB builds). Off the top of my head, King of Tone/paragon/mini Prince of Tone/pauper Morning Glory/glory hole Snouse Blackbox 2 Pro-10 (full and blue side) I’ve settled on the Pro-10 full for the time being but of course if...

    Steggo Studios Tayda UV Printing Tutorial (Part 3 - Final Part)

    This is perfect!!! I’ve been meaning to look more into this and was actually just about to make a thread yesterday asking if anyone knew of any good tutorials before I got sidetracked. Exactly what I needed. Thank you!!!

    DEMO EQUILUX BUILD. Yes yes yes.

    My pedalboard positively has NO space for this guy and I'm not sure I "need" it but boy do I wanna make one... ...I am in the process of getting ready to start on a bass board, though...

    [Vero] JHS Little Black Buffer

    Perhaps the crummiest build report you'll ever see, but here it is. I only happened to snap one pic, but I'm bored at work so figured I'd post nonetheless. How did we get here? Well, it starts with a Katana boost.... I ordered one with the intention of putting it in a 1590B...

    Audio Jack wiring (open Jacks)

    Yep, as above - you can just see where the sleeve (ground) is connected to its respective lug. With TRS plugs, generally speaking the lug will be directly across from the corresponding plug/contact. You already know which one the sleeve is, so the tallest contact (tip) will have the tip lug...
