Korg Volcas are a great intro into the synth world. Fun, cheap, and easy to use. Good reviews. Still being made after 10+ years. I have four of them now. (I recently acquired the FM from a fellow forum member) The Volca Keys helped me to understand the basics of synth music making. And what...

In my 20’s, my main guitar was a Strat I named Blanche, after my grandmother who had recently passed. When I hosted an open mic, Blanche got passed around a lot. A number of years later I acquired a classical, that I named Rose, because it’s red. And the fretboard is rosewood. Rose is a little...

Spy vs Spy !!! I miss those two.

I don’t know about High Gain settings. But I like Belton’s for the always on reverb. The Sproing is top-notch, and it’s what I have on my board, as an always on. I have built a few of them, and a few GGG Reverb kits. Both are simple one knob reverbs, that don’t colour your tone. The Add-Verb...

Do you plan on running all of them at once? Because you should. They look fantastic.

Ya the sk-1 is becoming a legend. For the sampler I believe? Are you the person on kijiji, selling the Chorus pedal, and the Volca?

The Volca FM is what I should’ve purchased instead of the sample. Because I never use the sample. Which I bought to add “real” drum sounds to the songs/jams I like to make. I haven’t deviated from the stock sample sounds. Or added my own via connecting it to computer. I would rather add more...

Also, people that try to convince people that NOS parts are worth a high price, because they were great 50+ years ago. Mojo bogus.

Off board wiring LED’s is high on my list too. As is sanding enclosures. I like the look of bare, smooth, shiny silver enclosures. And when I sand them, I do three or four at a time. Outside, with a mask on. After putting on the headphones, choosing some tunes, and smoking a joint of course...

I bought the Volca Beats to have a simple drum machine that I could practice guitar with. Within months I bought the Keys. Then the Sample. They are a whole bunch of creative fun. And a gateway into styles of music I had heard, but not listened too. Also… the Volca Beats snare mod is worth the...

My vote is for more Korg Volca videos.

I like adding a green ringer to a fuzz. And that’s what I use on my board. But as far as Octave Fuzz goes, I like the Super Fuzz. I have a BYOC that gets played a few times a year. The chugging sound I get with it is fun at home, but not a sound I use when I gig. Not yet anyway. I suggest...

Get that bias trim pot out of there. And get it out in front with the Volume and Range. I have started to do that with most of the circuits that have a bias trim pot. Like Chuck said, every cap on the Range knob will have a different smooth-splatty bias position. Trust the Wizard. That being...

The hyped fuzz mod is fun. I have it on a foot switch. But I think a toggle switch may be the better option.

Paper templates. Hand drill. Step bit. On a flat surface. Painters tape on the enclosure, to prevent sliding, or scratching while drilling. I scrape the step bit with a 3.5” deck screw between drilling holes. The residual aluminum clings to the bit and can/will mess up a new hole. I use the...

I wanted to add my Canadian prospective. My last order from PedalPCB was $65us, plus $16us shipping. About $120 Canadian, after tax, fees and exchange. So, 10 boards (on sale) from Pedalpcb is about $12 Canadian each board, including all the fees. Delivery time is about 10 days on average. But...

My Fostex is over an hour away. I am in the process of moving. Half of my stuff is here, the other half there. The next time I get a few minutes with it, I’ll start looking at the transport. But I may have a ton of questions. For instance, where do I get new belts?

The first three notes are unmistakable. Good choice of song to show off the pedals. A subtle simple riff with space between the notes that can show off the Flange. Honestly, great demo. Nothing over the top to distract from the effect.

Excellent demo. That little mellow riff is sweet. I bet if you put some words to it, it would be a hit. Write something personal, about wanting a lover to stay. Or how you’d miss them. And how they never listen, and only hear what they want to. I don’t know, just brainstorming.

That Phat Phuk of a chimp seems so unamused.
