What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

[Passinwind]

This. My final write-up on the body/neck finishing it will be in the dedicated thread soon.

It's getting there... a little bit at a time. I want be "done" by the end of the year.
The control cavity is a rat's nest, which makes me sad. I really want to just play it, so I am going to use the kit's included preamp, for now. I have @Passinwind 's V2 preamp PCBs being fabbed at OSHpark right now, so that will help, but I should have planned ahead better. I am going to on-board a preamp with specs based around it being a pedal. Battery life may suck a bit, but it should look way nicer.

Lookin' good, nice job! Did I give you a schematic yet? And what is your control format going to look like?

In any case, the lower current opamps I prefer for onboard usage will be back in stock in late Feb., and you'll have three sets of boards, so....

I hadn't messenged you about the schematic yet. I think I am going to need to drill another hole or dual pot for volume/blend. Although I am thinking about going V/V. So, I don't know.

Well, 3 means: Test, Higher current, lower current. Then pass one of them on to a friend in the end.

Cool, just wanted to make sure I haven't been leaving you hanging. You might consider throwing the higher current one in a box with the HPF I'll be releasing any day now, or just as-is for testing before you commit to the onboard install. And we need to make sure that whatever pots you end up needing will fit right in that bass. I have a few of the custom ones with extra long bushings left over that you can have at cost if you end up needing them.

You can probably do V-V on a stacked pot more economically/easily than V-Bl, or just put the resonance function on a 3 way switch like Alembic often does. Again, if you test first in a box you can make sure your choices are going to work for you.

Shredmaster. Need a couple ICs to wrap it up.

Next are a Bluesbreaker or Glory Hole and a Guv’nor/Drivemaster. Maybe I’ll put them all in the same box as my Angry Charles and have one big-ass Mega-Marshall pedal.

Shredmaster.

This graphic is on point. I like the inverted coloring for gain as well. As I get more into graphics stuff like this makes me excited to keep planning more and more.

I'm trying to step up my lathe game a bit and started working on a hamer the other day. I was able to spend some real time in the garage today and was able to get the handle 80% done, I just have to cut the threads and cut off and finish the bottom. Might do a bit more finishing work but I'll make that call at the end.

I'm making this out of 3/4" aluminum. The top will also be 3/4" aluminum but I'm going to have female threads to thread on brass heads. When I get some nylon I'll make a head from that as well.

The hardest part here I think will be clearance issues with where the ends come together where threaded. Getting down in those corners is tough work.

Hamer? Or did you mean hammer?

Noice. Shredmaster is usually on my board. The other two are waiting for me to get the motivation to do their offboard work someday. Art looks good!

About to be off the workbench, just need to knob, label and close it up, then work on a build report n demo. It's a Madbean HoneyDripper with a handful of refinements and couple hacks

 

[Feral Feline]

Looking forward to hearing more about those mods n hacks to the Honeydripper!

 

[andare]

I'm about to finish this one up. Build report coming soon

The kerning in your logo is making my former graphic designer self turn in his grave

Sorry

I do like the graphics

Yeah I see it now the only swash font I could find wasn't exactly what I wanted. On some of the other text, I modified it a bit

 

[jimilee]

Ah, just grab some knobs from another build, that’s what I do. That is a fantastic pedal.

 

[Bricksnbeatles]

Threw together a quick rocket socket holder for the French cleats on the wall

How do yall feel about pedal sized pots in guitars? Thinking about adding a knob on my tele and it won't fit with full sized ones.

When you do it, I say "hell yeah." When factories do it I say "Oh nooooo."

If you do a Stompboxparts 16mm, it will def be fine. Alpha/Tayda depends on how much you’ll be riding it.

 

[KR Sound]

Go for it. If you use it a lot, maybe lube it up a bit. And definitely make sure to degrease that thing before soldering on it.

 

[andare]

If alpha pots work in pedals why wouldn't they work in guitars?
Just measure the value if it's important to you.
Do you guys only use expensive pots? Do you measure them?

 

[HamishR]

I guess the issue with pots on a guitar is that they tend to be used a lot more so are subjected to a lot more wear and tear. I'll happily use the little alpha pots in pedals because I usually find a sound and leave it like that. When I had a guitar with mini-pots it didn't take long for them to get noisy and need replacing. Mind you, I tend to use only the volume pots and use them virtually as on/off switches. And no, I rarely measure them.
