What Ya Working On?…

What’s the little pastulio board?

Gir, I need more piggies!

Looks great! What booth? I'm going to be there wandering around, I'll look for it in person

Any time I run out of stock on PCBs I redesign instead of just reordering so I have a handful of boring redesigns on my plate, otherwise just working on my usual boring builds for customers and trying to find time to make a few extra so I have something to bring with me to NAMM next week, for which I am absurdly excited.

I'm working on the next big project, for which I have abandoned the previous big project that was in a state of near completion. I intend on repeating this pattern until the end of time itself

What’s the little pastulio board?

It’s a clock module, if you are looking for longer delay time out of a fv-1 it works pretty good

 

[Paradox916]

Sweet! A clock module. I’ve been wanting to try one.

It’s pretty cool not quite sure if making it external was completely necessary for a stand alone delay but you can definitely get more range out of the pedal… I can’t wait to try it on modulation and see how it works with that.

Marco Bass Guitars, Booth #4432. Adjacent to Lace and Cioks at back left of Hall D. I bailed on going this year, unfortunately. Headed over to the Marco hive this morning to take care of a few odds and ends, but it won't be the usual fear and loathing two or three day campout before the van pulls, for better or worse.

Hope you have a great show. 2020 was amazing for me, easily the best of my five trips there. And yeah, I do the redesign thing a lot myelf, the boards in that pedal are like 4th and 6th generation IIRC. I think at least one of my DIY amps will be in there too, we'll probably figure that out today. That's always exciting for me, whether I'm there in person or not.

 

[Passinwind]

This is giving me GAS

Thanks! There's an open source version posted in a long thread on Talkbass if you feel like building one. I'm hoping to find time and energy to support this newer longer lower wider faster version that way sooner than later as well.

Awesome! I'll totally check it out!

I'm working on a couple of commissions for friends at the moment; currently have the Spirit Box, Aion FX Ceres, Cataclysm Delay and Little Green Scream Machine in the works.

I've also got a 2 in 1 build that I did for myself on my bench but it isn't working and I haven't been able to figure out why for weeks now, so I chip away at that when I feel like I'm getting too confident in my abilities.

I would love to come and hold a flashlight in this garage

That's about all I do.
"Pass me that body hammer... no, the other one."

There's a 51 Meteor in another corner, roof chopped already, wish I'd been around to help with the chop.

I'll post a pic of his '50 shoebox 'vert in the Boneyard pics thread later when I have more time.

 

[PapaBear]

Is it along the tubing section? That whole area is really nice.

Yes, were just between Cleveland and Dahlonega, so it goes from wading to tubing, my sister has had her place a couple of years, in the summer we take our bag and beach chairs down and sit in the river

UPDATE: The Calamity passed the Auditorium test. I haven't tested the voltages at the J201s but it sounds like it should with the stock biasing resistors.

So I can box it up...not!

I used terminal blocks and of course the screw for the OUT pad is broken. It turns but the block doesn't block. Please don't tell me I have to desolder the damn block to salvage the PCB...for ONE SCREW.

After the Squidward debacle, where I accidentally filled a pad with solder and by the time I'd cleared it the pad was dead and so was the PCB, another build thwarted by those stupid fiddly things. Feel like giving up. Also, it's raining and below 20 degrees.

Have a nice day!

Oof. Terminal blocks are a neat idea, but in the words of my dear father, "one more thing to go wrong."

Go slowly, trust yourself, YOU GOT THIS!

*could you solder that wire in the terminal block? It defeats the purpose but could save you some hassle…

I feel you, I have an Unpleasant on vero that is in the troubleshooting pile. It was working great, my Jfets were biased and all, but after I boxed it it wasn’t working. Finishing another build and another troubleshooting and I should get to it in 2-3 weeks (it’s been in the pile for around 9 months so it can wait a couple of weeks…)

That's what I was thinking. Just solder that wire in. Much better than desoldering the whole thing.
