In the following video, a guy that talks like a Convict explains how the Beatles got the Get back tone. TLDW; resistors off the cathodes of the power amp into a feedback arrangement. Supposedly implemented to tame the attack of a Twin (a low E through a cranked Twin hits like Ivan Drago) it...

I build a p2p Alembic Stratoblaster over the weekend, and it sounds great, thanks for asking. The only issue is a pretty loud pop at the footswitch. Thing is, I’ve already added pulldown resistors…both at the jacks and at the circuit input. No difference. Any ideas offhand?…

Almost made it to 83…

Which one is the one, ya know? I mean which one brings the thunder/the boys to the yard/to the highway to the danger zone, ya know?… So it seems there are a few different versions: you have the OG with a transformer and transistors (ferrite/Ge), then you have one that is the same except it’s...

I want to build a 5F1 Tweed Champ. I want to do it as a replica, essentially. This will be my first tube build. I am not worried. I know how it is, building electronics, I know its high voltage, I get that. I am taking it 110% serious. I have been watching Lyle on Youtube for a while now and...

Where is it?

You heard it here first, ladies and gentlemen, and Big Monk. Submitted for your perusal: this past week was the first week of the Fall Semester. Friday was my first day all week since Monday that I was off (I know, right?), and I felt like building something. Now, I have several projects in the...

I think I need some synth in my life. I have little to no knowledge of synths at all. I am looking at some of the Behringer models, and would like feedback from synth people… Here’s what I’m looking at so far...

This was after about two hours. I have to open some of the pre-drill holes, and I realized I don’t have any toggles that will work. Thinking of getting some cream chik’n (I’m vegetarian) head knobs instead of the black ones I bought…

I’m batting .500 the last week, build wise. Here are the two that work: the Special K (EQD Special Cranker; left), and the Ice Vendor Distortion (Colorsound Tonebender Distortion; right)… Bare enclosures for now; when I tried to paint them, the spray paint froze in mid air, and just kinda...

Some BAT41’s, some toggles, 1n60’s, 100u caps (16v)…all in Tayda bags…

https://www.taydaelectronics.com/hardware/enclosures/enclosure-custom-drill-service/enclosure-masking-service.html I had stopped ordering painted enclosures from Tayda because I scratched too many trying to sand the paint off of the inside. This is kind of a game changer for me…

So I spent most of the morning trying to look into the Dope Priest, and I am confused as a really confused guy who just won a contest for being more confused… I see mentions of a Foxey Lady, a “1977 Foxey Lady” (what!?), a Ram’s Head, Green Russian…black box, blue box… So what’s the story...

Hey, my latest order showed up and there was no vacuum in the “sealed” bag. I’m not gonna get sick or something if I use them, right?…

For many years I have lusted after a single fuzz tone: the solo tone from My Eyes Have Seen You, by the Doors. In fact, I love ALL of Robbie Krieger’s fuzz tones. I have known for a very long time that he played an FZ-1…though the only photo sources of him playing ANY fuzz shows a Vox...

Hurry before he wakes up! 5F2B7-E2D81-1140A-726CC …also, I’d leave the Rubber…it looks pretty old…says “I like Ike” on it…

I am planning on modding my Ibanez Artcore AF75. I plan on putting in a pair of GFS Vintage 59 (covered neck, black bobbin bridge). It already had upgraded tuners and a rosewood bridge. I am looking for some tips on the wiring… I want to wire it with a master vol/master tone, a toggle for phase...

This time I’ve done a Tonebender MK 1.5, with an added Timbre control. Attached you will find my notes (with schematic and layout), photos, and a brief demo video!…

Phish are streaming their shows tonight and tomorrow for free. Light one up, set you mind in to high gear, and run like an antelope…
