I had a 3000M (Les Paul with thick maple top) and an Ad2200 (junior DC before Gibson go mad at them). The price to performance couldn’t be beat. I am kicking myself for letting the 3000M go, but wasn’t playing enough to justify it. Thing was a tank. The DC was great, but I think it needed a few...

Maybe check c4? It might have overheated something or you bumped a lead and it broke? Not likely, but another place to look. It might not hurt to reflow the connections after Q3 up to the drive pot. One side of the c4 solder joint looks a bit skimpy on the solder

Wait, how does stick person have kidneys? One would think you would need AT LEAST 3 dimensions for that unless….. Oh. Ohhhhh.

This is going to look good when it’s finished (Paul Ruby’s FV-1). I am going to say whomever put all the purple knobs in there, but then swapped one out is going to get a butt kicking.

Om Nom is such a fun character in that silly game.

Polystyrene are pretty rad looking. Be careful not to overheat them. From what I’ve read they can get overheated kind of quickly.

I mean, I’m open to helping dispose of some of the parts if @jessenator can’t handle all of it.

As the noted wordsmith Paris Hilton once stated: That’s hot.

That bass is pretty. I’m a sucker for that mahogany/sapele/bubinga orange-y brown. /looks at collected guitar bodies that need to be turned into guitars /shakes fist at space-time continuum

I jumped to the Facey-books and it sounds like they're out for surgery for a couple months. I just needed to know where to find the build docs in case I want to tweak my Purple Playtpus build to bypass the octave setting (because it still kind of bleeds over) so it's just regular LLama.

Are you thinking Rickenbacker style pickups?

Also, if you wanted, you could flip the polarity of the electrolytics to ground (negative ground instead of positive ground), but you'd have to find an NPN germanium (robert has some good Russian ones that are about 100hfe). Then you could used 2n3904 or some fun old stock NPN silicons (like...

Looks like the 2N4062 is a lower gain PNP silicon. So maybe a modern 2n3906 will work. That should get you pointed down the right path.

Well, I ordered a germ NPN from Robert. I got concerned I got some kind of metallic sample. PS the vials are cool. Might need them for work. Where do they come from Robert?

When I get time (unless someone gets to it), I’ll try my hand at a board. I’m not great, but I’ll give it a shot.

So, they basically had a cathode-biased 6L6 twin? (Well, the fixed bias is still there). No wonder it felt different. Aleph’s “slap a JFet/Mosfet” would be doable. Maybe branching off of ROG’s Thunderbird but adjust the “output” to be more ‘squishy’?

I barely, barely, squeezed in my contribution (albeit not as cool) with everything else.

Oh, I forgot. Part of bean’s challenge was to do good. During Advent season, we (tried) to collect for the food pantry. Not food, but things that don’t get supplied. We chose laundry soap (and other soaps). We need to collect more, but this is a good start.

Finally got through it. Holy butts. I feel like I took more than I should, but there is so much useful stuff in there. I took the wire, because I literally just ran out and have been salvaging scraps. It looks like 22AWG, so good for tube preamp work. I also added another pcb - Boneyard Hybrid...

It has landed. (Cue Jaws theme) And holy crap, it’s overwhelmingly awesome.
