I have been checking daily and Klaus said their might be one last round when I asked about the Pumpernickel PCB the other day. So, get on it folks.

[cwsquared]

What are you getting? I am going for Vong Filterung and Pumpernickel.

 

[Mentaltossflycoon]

Just the vong lpf, I'm pretty happy with my thumbsucker so I'm off compressors for now.

Well, I'll trace the Pumpernickel and then we'll have a schematic for future use. Just in case.

Already have a schematic, although I'd be interested to see if you come up with something different. (It's not my trace)

Looks like these are being discontinued so it might be worthwhile to look into working up a PCB since we have the 4301 module.

 

[Mentaltossflycoon]

I thought about it for a minute but the cash is hard to justify at the moment. Not that I think it's a bad price.

 

[szukalski]

This is mainly bass stuff?

I'd more than likely get down if you did.

I was considering grabbing them all, except I only need them "briefly" and I have no use for the kits...

 

[Robert]

I assume the Guma Overdrives are Darkglass inspired...

Are the others based on anything else, or are they original designs?

Yep, the Gumas are the B3K and VMT. The NE_04 is the Nathan East preamp. The Growling Krizzly is the Gallien Kreuger 400RB preamp (schematic is on the Schalltechnik website) Otherwise, I think they are original.

The only project I wish was available somewhere is the Omnilooper, but I was going to try to piece that one together from Julian's block diagram.

I can send you the Pumpernickel and Vong Filterung PCBs when they arrive, if needed. The LPF and HPF mini Vongs should be just a subsets of the big one.

 

[cwsquared]

@Robert, I just messaged somebody on TalkBass about an Omnilooper. So maybe add that to the list.

 

[Robert]

I'm interested.

 

[Harry Klippton]

So whats the secret sauce with the 400RB y'all?it's the only bass amp I've ever owned and I always thought it was like "fine." It's not that loud and like doesn't sound like it can punch god or something afaik. I'm always surprised to hear that people like them or seek em out. Is there like a magic setting that's the shit or something? I'm not a "real bass player" fwiw I guess

I'm with you on that question, I've never had strong feelings about any gk products that I've used. Got the job done and nothing more. I saw those a while back and assumed there must be an artist association there.

 

[Boba7]

I’ve been wanting a pumpernickel compressor for quite a while now!

I see they are in "short supply", so good luck.

The 400RB and 800RB are supposed to have a specific "growl" when the preamp hits the "rails". Basically it breaks up in a special way when the power amp gets pushed by the post-preamp boost circuit. Overall, I think GK has a small following but it is an acquired taste.
