Pretty much the only thing I ever use blue tack for anymore is when a circuit has just one or two random tall caps that make it sit awkwardly to solder. Even then what I’ll typically end up doing is not messing with any tack or tape and will just do a tiny “tack solder” to hold the component...

For that matter, IMO the Timefactor still holds up awfully well and can be found for pretty dang cheap these days.

Keeley Halo (Andy Timmons) is really good

I would echo this. Not a Blues Jr fan at all. If anything I’d sooner recommend the Pro Jr for a smaller fender.

Years ago, back when I was in college...I was a pretty average guitarist. Not terrible, not great. On a whim I auditioned for a local band's lead guitar position and by some miracle ended up getting picked for the spot. Spent the next two-ish years touring the country and regularly playing...

I’ve noticed lately a lot of folks’ builds where they’re only connecting a ground wire to one of their in/out jacks rather than both. I’m assuming the thinking here is that the other is grounded thru the enclosure and it’s to avoid potential ground loops? Just curious as to if there’s any...

General Tso is perhaps my favorite pedal I’ve ever built. I can’t recommend that one highly enough! I would like to try the Kompromat too though. I really like the Barber to begin with.

That looks fantastic

Off the top of my head Morningstar makes a couple of bypass switchers that are midi controlled, no foot switches on the unit itself. I think a handful of folks make similar

I’ve not built it so my opinion is rather uninformed, but would it be possible to put it in 1590BB without the boost and throw in an extra jack for optional boost switch a la JHS red remote?

I really like Bluesbreaker-based circuits in general and have tried most of these (either PPCB, retail, or both). My thoughts: Bluebreaker - ironically, one of the few I have not got around to trying out yet :P Paragon/Paragon Mini/Pauper - have owned a couple of KoT and PoT's as well as...

See Schmorg, smash like, as per usual.

I’m curious: anyone tried out this guy (or the “real” Nobel) on acoustic guitar? I’m kind of spitballing around the idea of putting together a dual-purpose bass/acoustic board as I find myself using similar effects on both. Wondering if it wouldn’t also work to add some nice tubey goodness as an...

Tbh I kinda like the look of them on “innie” power jacks too (power jack, white washer, enclosure, nut) but to be fair I’m seemingly in the pro-white-washer minority 😂

Go Pack Go! ;) Looks great! I’d be interested to give it a try. I like harmonic trem but often struggle to find uses for me.

Good ol’ butt hash

I’m repeating myself but I just stick with Ernie ball too. The sweep feels the most natural or “right” to me and it’s easy to work on/repair if need be. String replacement is a 5 minute job once you’ve practiced a bit and even replacing the potentiometer is not difficult either. Parts are fairly...

I test it with the lid off and if I decide it’s a keeper I just slam the bad screw home with an impact driver lol (Otherwise just screwing it in until you meet resistance, backing out, and repeating typically works okay for me)

Wow, this is killer!! Think you need to post that Meteora build now too, if you haven’t already…

I had a similar arrangement about a year ago and used these hinges. They say 90 degree, but I found they closed a bit beyond that, probably about 15 degrees past if my math is roughly accurate. A little messy/busy in there, but you get the idea. Buncha power stuff, buffer on the input, stereo...
