What kinda AI hallucinated crackpipe is this pedal supposed to be?
Oh wait, I get it, it's a ring mod

What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

Two tiny little flimsy metal contact for the plastic switching mechanism that may or may not ground on the enclosure that may or may not be grounded to the power.
And a glass window, smudged from the factory, that protects the 16x2 LCD. The smudge is sentient and slowly grows. Meanwhile, the 16x2 LCD dimma by the day and begins transmitting alien scripture by day 366 of ownership.

That’s actually a great idea! Not sure if it’ll remove all the texturing on the inside but that could work!

I played with something similar a while back and settled on sublimation printing onto aluminium plates, less failure

Looks more like a shot-blast distortion pedal.. get as many electrons through a NOS carbon comp resistor as possible using a charge pump. No need for a check light either!
EDIT: Yes.. I am that observant that I suffer from an inversion of observation.. #facepalm.

Saw market place add about someone looking new L6 EchoPark for replacing broken one. Got in touch to ask about buying the broken one and he wanted to give it free. So I have a new delay with a broken plastic pot shaft. Gonna look later to my drawers if I have correct sized pcb pot, but thinking about add exp jack to broken mix pot.

EchoPark is running now and it suprised me how nice it sounds. Didn’t have linear pcb pot, so audio taper went in. Now setting mix is bit too logarithmic, but who cares??? Maybe the exp jack would be the way to go, but I need to find switching small 2.5mm stereo jack for that!

I've just finished the biggest trace I've ever done. MXR X100. Well, actually it's not really finished until I manage to find someone who can independetly verify it. It's a Level 100 Final Boss fight.
First thing I want to do with this is to figure out a mod to directly engage any of the 4 modes using some external switches, without having to cycle through them.
Maybe I should have just asked Dunlop for the schematic instead of doing all this work? I don't even bother anymore these days because people are so secretive, as if they invented some revolutionary new circuit instead of just rearranging well-known, decades-old building blocks, with some example circuits from newer datasheets thrown in for good measure.

This was actually in my mailbox today but it went right on the workbench and into a guitar.
These are a set of ToneHatch "Bellkow Blues" but under wound to my spec's.
5% underwind on the neck and 10% underwind on the bridge.
The DCR "in circuit" wound up at 7.19k neck and 7.7k bridge. Which is just about perfect for a set of PAFs for me.
Adam's presentation is about the best as they come. For the ridiculously affordable price he goes all out with his packaging.
I had a set of Raw Nickel covers already from Philadelphia Luthiery that would fit so I ordered them unpotted and no covers.
These are built to vintage PAF specs with 42 AWG PE wire, Butyrate bobbins, maple spacer, etc. I ordered them with an A2 in the neck and an A4 in the bridge.
@Guardians of the analog gave me the great idea of putting quick connects on my ES-335 when I converted it from Modern wiring to 50's wiring to make future pickup swaps a piece of cake.
I definitely like the "raw nickel" covers look. Aside from the fact that they are the most tonally "transparent" covers. (Nickel silver with no copper content), I think they look better than the shiny nickel or chrome covers,
I've been playing it for a couple of hours and really like them a lot. I loved the original Gibson T-types that came in the guitar but they weren't quite the right pickups for what I wanted from the 335. I think those Gibson pickups would sound a lot better in a Les Paul. These ToneHatches are just about perfect for the 335. The slight underwind and no potting gives me that ES-335 "bite" that I wasn't quite getting with the stock pickups. And in general I prefer unpotted pickups. I don't have to worry about feedback as I don't play live in front of a loud amp. These pickups have more "character" and are more "punk" than smooth. (More Ramones as opposed to Toto.....
)
Highly recommend Adam's pickups. https://www.tonehatch.com/
