Hey all, It's been a while since I posted a build report! I've had this 1590A enclosure since I started building back in 2022. I've just never had anything to put in it. And I never could crack the code on doing top jacks on it without major surgery to the enclosure. Big shout out to...

.....no not anything I've caught recently heh. I haven't been on the water all year. I have a Minnow board that's been sitting in my stash. I'm considering building it out if it does what I want it to. I don't care so much about the envelope filter as I already have the CDXL Reissue and I like...

I've been steadily adding builds to the arsenal albeit it at a much slower rate, I just have not been super inspired to post or record any demos. Yet many of these builds deserve demos. So I wind up in a constant state of procrastination hahaha. Here's one that I won't be demoing because it's...

A couple of weeks ago I posted a build report of my Anti-Buffer pedal build with a demo. I've been really impressed with how useful this pedal has been, and not just for being able to use my fuzzes with buffers in my pedal chain. It's also useful for super loud pedals like the El Sol (EQD...

This is a two-for build post and demo. Both of these builds were inspired by the generosity and kindness of a couple of forum members. First Clinton (@blackhatboojum) sent me one of his Boss HF-2B Flanger boards. (At the suggestion of @Guardians of the analog :) This is a FANTASTIC flanger...

Some of you may recall my obsession (as some would call it) with the EP3 Preamp pedals. I've built two Clandestine Preamps (Chase Tone Secret Preamp) And use both of them in my pedal chain, I've also built the AionFx Ares (based on the ClinchFX EP3) which I use in my second amp's efx loop chain...

Last week I posted a pretty cool pickup mod for a Strat, the Phat-O-Caster Mod. I got this mod from Waylon McPherson Guitars from New Zealand. He's got a Youtube channel with lots of pedal, guitar and amp mods. Check it out! This build report is for another one of his projects that sounded...

Some of you may recall a few months back I converted my "Goldie" Strat into an H-S-S configuration since the bridge position was already routed for it. At the time it seemed like a good idea to have at least one of my Strats with a beefier bridge sound. And it was exactly what I expected it...

Here she is hanging next to her sisters, Goldie, Blondie, Red and Burstie. (Ms. Gold Foils is back in the closet for a cycle). So the backstory is that I didn't need another Strat, heck I need to lose some guitars period. Really struggling with the lack of space here at the new house. So how...

I suppose it's not a big secret that I'm a hard core Lollar fanboy. My favorite Strat, Tele and P90's are all Lollars. I have them in almost all of my Strats, I keep coming back to them. Jason Lollar just has a touch with certain pickups. Especially his single coils. So when I heard they were...

I still haven't gotten my gear set up to record pedal demos yet, that's coming soon. Most of you that have been following my GAS activities over the past couple of years know that I've acquired quite a collection of guitars, most of which I've built myself under the "M-Line" brand. Since...

Looks like Hurricane Milton is taking a more southerly track, leaving us outside of the cone. I'm not expecting much more than losing power later on, In the meantime.............heh, I started working on this re-build yesterday and got it wrapped up today. This Seafoam Green MJT Tele body was...

This was actually my first build back from my hiatus. I was looking through my "library" of boards and came across this that looked like an easy build. (I should have started with a PPCB project hahah) I don't recall buying this but after chatting with @Guardians of the analog about it and how...

Yes folks, it's that time again......:) It's been a while since I messed with any of my builds. But with the couple of hours of "feeling good enough to do something" I have on any given day, I replaced the pickups on my gold Strat. The original build is documented here. It's had a couple of...

I don't really remember why I got this board, but it was a nice easy build to ease myself back into building after a year long hiatus. I'm still mulling over how to use this more effectively but for the time being I'm just using it as the first pedal in my chain and splitting one signal to my...

Been sitting on this board for a bit. Finally had the gumption to build it out. Another MIAB from Wampler. From what I can tell this is an earlier version without the mid-bump toggle. I've mentioned before that I'm not the biggest fan of JFET based MIAB emulations, I think my preference is...

Put this together yesterday. It's a BluesBreaker. It sounds like a BluesBreaker. And.........that's probably why I don't like it much. heh. If you like the classic MBB sound then this is a great variant with some tricks up the sleeve with some subtle voicing mods and extra gain and of course...

Of course since @Robert released another compressor, I had to build it hahaha. This is the older version of the Keeley 4 knob. I did some comparisons to my retail Keeley current version and I actually like the old one a lot better. The 401k has a clipping control for input trim instead of the...

Catching up on a couple recent builds. I put this one together yesterday and thought it sounded like crap. Really muffled, wooly and bass-y. First thought was that I did something wrong but doing a quick search I found some old threads where it seems I'm not the only one who felt this way, I...

I had mentioned in some post or other that I had a couple of "re-builds" in the pipeline. This is one of them. My Classic Vibe Thinline which was sporting the Zhangbucker Lollipop P90 in the neck and had a rosewood neck. I decided to move the Lollipop to my Gold Top where I think it sounds...
