Cobalt Drive

[Jovi Bon Kenobi]

Well, here's the last one for a bit. The Cobalt Drive. It's really nice sounding and I won't be getting rid of it anytime soon. I'm almost out of my good J201's after this. I had to piece the font together letter by letter so it's not as spot on as I'd like, but it'll do!

Nice! I was missing the dual gang pot, so that will be later this week. Glad you like it I'm looking forward to it

Thanks. I had to sorta finesse the one I used in. It is not a right angle pot, nor a solid shaft like the rest. I bent the inside lugs at a 90° angle and soldered thick leads to the outer lugs. I used a heatsink when adding it to the board to not disturb the other soldered joint. I have a few of those bushings so that solved the shaft problem.

I can't remember where I got those bushings but Smallbear sells them.

You need to also add a spacer in the shaft gap in addition to the bushing. Find a guitar pick that fits in it snug then cut a lil chunk of it out.
