My buddy handed me this pedal needing to be fixed, no clues other than it doesn’t work. The tranny on the far right was missing so I subbed in a 2a2222 as that’s what was on the other side and she’s alive. Doesn’t sound great and I think it’s the terrible Amazon 2n2222 that drift down hfe from...

Nate, I just finished building the wrecking ball and WOWSERS it’s good! I did have a couple of notes. First, the 4u7 25V cap from the build doc doesn’t seem to be needed as there isn’t a place for it on the board. Secondly, I used your artwork file (thank you for supplying) and Tayda sent me an...

I need 10 knobs for the Crate Vintage Club 50 I'm in the process of refurbing into a head. The pot shafts are 3/16" (4.76mm) knurled and OMFG they're IMPOSSIBLE for me to find. They need to be less than an inch wide as the clearance between the shafts is only one inch. I've only found one set...

I NEEEEEEED this.....but I've got no experience.

My friend @waywardmatt sent me the OC71 a while ago for this one and I finally got around to building it. USPS was late in delivering and @Robert stepped up and waived his customer service wand. This was one of the more difficult builds that I've done. I'm not sure if I'm just out of practice...

I couldn't help myself, I've been looking at building a new comp for the pedal board but at $100 I'd be lucky to source the parts for that much these days. I just ordered the UA 1176 from sweetwater. I just hope it's as quiet as everyone seems to say.

My beloved NTE #SW02-10 solder braid no clean wick is no longer being made for some reason. What are some other options you wonderful wizards suggest?

I can't remember who suggested "EmpireDons" on eBay as a seller of this quality wire, but HOLY SHEEP SHIT it's SOOOOO much nicer to work with this quality of wire vs. the Amazon BS. Thank You whoever took the time to suggest this.

Hello all! I've successfully done a few of these stinkfoot bypass mods now. This one was working when I sent it off but it sure isn't now. Bypass works fine and the LED lights but zero sound for the effect. I moved the inductor to the top two pads but I had to flip it in order to fit. I'm...

I really looked forward to this build. Tubes, transformer in a pedal?...yes please! As soon as I saw the BOM had links and in stock I jumped. I've only played it a little bit but it's warm goodness. First real step will be setting the DI outpost. Super fun build!

Well, I had an absolute blast at work on Sunday. Joe Bonamassa blew the doors off as he closed out the Telluride Blues and Brews festival. I poached these pics from his instagram because I'm the little fat boy holding the video camera! On a side note, I had a small interaction with him...

My first fv1 pedal. I've only played it a little but it really does sound great!

I dropped my Crate Vintage Club 50 head the other day right after getting it fixed. Luckily I didn't have the tubes in but this video sure makes me feel better about it. Crate V50 Tube Amp Being Thrown. DURABLE!! I'm not sure why it's not being able to link to the tubes.....boooo!

I just picked up a Bellari (Rolls) mp105 mic pre. I'm hoping to change out the op amps and the pots for a colorful, cleanish mic pre. I can't find a schematic anywhere. Anyone have this schematic or any experience with this unit? Black Lion Audio has a mod where they change out the op amps...

My buddy gifted me this old danelectro amp. I've got plans to restore it. Looks all original inside including the rather large amount of mouse turds. Speakers only had a small tear. Cabinet is made out of particle / chip board. Makes for an incredibly lightweight but not particularly strong...

I love this guy so much

Hello you Wonderful Wizards! I'm restoring a small homemade tube amp and I've run into a road block. I've replaced all the filter caps. The only caps left are the two "tone" caps but I'm about ready to replace those as well JIC. They measure at 8nf and their label says they should 5nf. The...

Universal Audio is giving away their LA-2A plugin for FREE! Here is a link to sign up for it, you'll also have to sign up for an iLok account if you don't already have one, but it's easy and FREE. Totally worth it IMO...
