Well it looks like I know what I’m doing when I get home. Digging out the Twill that I have in the box of other boards I need to troubleshoot. It’s been in there for a year because I thought one side of the thing wasn’t doing anything.

That Spooky Tooth tune sounds similar to Sweet Leaf by Black Sabbath. Just an observation.

Ya!

I was building like crazy, until July, when life got too busy. Now I have a a few gigs coming up, so I have to practice. And I’m happy with that. And of course I have a dozen un-boxed, un-finished boards that are getting dusty. But winter is coming… that’s when the soldering iron heats up.

I started on Ernie Ball slinky’s, and stayed with that brand for at least 20years. As I started playing more, I was replacing them often. Like 4 times a year. When they would loose there Twang. A few years ago, I switched to the d’addario XS. They are Magic! I love them. They bend further with...

Josh Scott woulda used a white washer on that there stompswitch.

My most recent “Completed” build was way back in May!!! An Octarock. I’ve had a long summer, with limited building time. Damn life and all its hiccups!

Check out Henretta Engineering for some inspiration. Or scoop up one of his little knobless boxes. I have the Purple Octopus. It’s a green ringer in a 1590lb. If I ever have an extra few $$$ kickin around. I may commission one of his consoles...

As does this I believe. https://moodysounds.com/produkt/analog-reverb-kit-ink-tank/

Last week I was in Detroit for the Incubus show. I dragged my special lady friend to the Third Man record shop. It’s a great spot, lots of vinyl, tshirts, and some toys. I didn’t see the Grotte pedal. I would’ve enjoyed giving it a stomp. The Ramp feature intrigues me. Where the effect fades...

I love these kind of threads. I’ve built a few dozen fuzzes; but now I have to look into a few more. Just in time for a long weekend sale. Woot woot!

I would suggest using an audio probe, and reflowing all the solder joints. Cold solder joints happen to the best of us. I have a few boards that have similar issues. They pass a signal, but it’s very weak. They will get the audio probe, when I get the time and patience.

I’ve always felt that the trash cans needed to be painted with glow in the dark paint. On top the white dots. Great looking build by the way. What’s up with the black washer? Make that yourself?

I have a few male to female jumper wire sockets. And was eye-balling a few packs at a local brick and mortar store. I’m gonna whip something up when I get the chance later this week. I love the idea of using a cutting board. Haha

I’ve never seen that clamp thing, and had to google it. Very clever. I think I may splurge and buy a bunch of sockets. See if I can’t improve this Tupperware. Like, attach them to the jacks and stuff.

When I build, I test the guts before popping them into an enclosure. Most of the time, they're loose on the floor. And in the past, if I wanted to jam/gig with the circuit, I would use an enclosure that I fawked up drilling, or, occasionally a cardboard box. Instead of getting a prototype...

I’d look at that switch placement as a blessing. Because now you can fill the rest of that box with more circuits, more switches, more Knobbss!!!

I go about 3 months between orders on average. And I just placed an order this morning. Mostly Electra distortion variants. And I DO plan on putting a few together in one enclosure, because I am that cool guy, Guy!

That Chompi looks adorable. And tasty, like the lucky charm marshmallows

I started with the Beats, for a simple drum machine to practice guitar with. I still use it for that. But after watching some youtubers show off their volca stylings, I wanted the Keys for some classic weird synth. No regrets with that purchase. I haven’t bonded with the Volca Sample. Maybe...
