She is. I’ve got her moogerfooger mf101 clone - which is excellent - and the first batch had a bug with the dreaded led switching noise bleeding into audio (which I’ve had a lot with diy pedals) - chatted to her a fair bit firstly saying there was this bug and then gently suggesting if she told...
If I ever started a pedal company I would make two versions of my pedals - a normal version and a special version, with extra bits all the epoxy and spray paint. Maybe concrete too depending on its insulating properties.
Anyone called Robert woild get that version
To use an example using two Japanese traditions …
Bass players tend to approach a pedalboard like bonsai - trying things, thinking deeply and at each stage asking “can I cut this back, can I simplify” leading to restrained thought through minimal pedalboards.
Guitar players however are more...
Some kind of tech 21 bass fly rig pedal would probably be a good solution?
Tuner > Oc2/octamiser > drive of some kind (tonehammer or whatever your denomination prefers) > tc spectracomp > nobelium
For bass it’s different to guitar effects - it’s less obvious what’s good from bad…. it really is...
I'm musing more than commenting on your board... but would the ideal be to have something like this, but with a latching relay switching on it, and then the foot switch is wired off the I/O board and the effect is on its own board.
no secret sauce other than trying PCB assembly for the first time (it could have all gone wrong)
I didn't have enough confidence to make the 3 film caps and 6 electro caps SMD... maybe next time!
So an extra 10% tarrifs because us over here have this wild idea that you can’t just invade places and take other peoples land.
So I guess we protect ourselves with tarriffs going the other way …
So if I want any PPCB boards I should order them now before it gets too crazy.
I grew up being...
“You won’t guess what he does at the end!” Mediocre bass player reacts to Pedal builder Feline Ferals latest video and calls him out on some point! Look at his expression! Click suscribe and like, here’s something about NorkVPN who sponsor this channel.
100% - I went and looked at his stuff and it looked nice, but equally, apart from the blues breaker with the clever name it was "my take on X circuit".
I mean if you work it out and the volume savings and margins work with 50 pedals it's not the worst idea - but you've got to have an idea that...
It's interesting how things have changed...
reading really early "here's how this pedal works" stuff, like RG Keens stuff, and it's all quite technical - and you could learn stuff....
and then came the forums where DIY pedal geeks would trace things and get their own Vero/perfboard copies, or...
The whole post reads a little like “I’ve put all this effort in and expect ppl to want to buy my pedals” - I think it’s a bit mad, like I know there’s a whole pedal scene that I’m not in, but in my mind most “boutique hand built” pedals are either completely derivative, or slightly derivative...
