It's luney how Moonn gets mentioned on the board here every time I look at the Moonn stuff; was just putting together an order...

I've tried to look at Moonn boards but the color scheme of the website burns my eyes and the names of the boards are totally random, I have to click on every one of them to know what they are.
I just looked at the Tools section for 30 seconds and still no voltage inverter board. How come no one sells this very useful PCB? Please don't make me use stripboard ever again!

Agreed it's not the easiest site to look at, and I also have to look up every board to see what it is!

However, while Moonn's PCB-nomenclature can be obtuse, obscure and often obfuscated — it's not all random.

ex:
The movie character Wall-E is a robot; Moonn-proprietor's name for the DBA Robot clone is Wall-E.
What do you find in a lot of factories? "Heavy Machinery", which is the name for Moonn's clone of Zach's Fat Fuzz Factory.
The Sunn preamp clone from Moonn is on point, "200 Sunny Sunns".
"Intensified Birdfluff" is based on one of EQD's own peculiarly named pedal, the "Plumes". The Boulder (Devi Ever Stone); Infant Rose Amplifier (BJFE Baby Pink Booster); Mud Tosser (EQD Dirt Transmitter); Kaput (DBA Absolute Destruction); Barks (EQD Bellows); Peachy Fran (Frantone Peach Fuzz); Opera (Fuzzhugger's Phantom Octave)...

Then there's the nonsensical stuff such "Love Yourself In Every Way", which seems to lack any thread tying it to the BazzFuss — maybe there's a tacit connection in Mr Moonn's head? Or Bagheera (The Tone God's Finish Line)...etc. Often there is a nonsensical description on the product-page, and to find out what it really is you have to open up the build doc, such as for the "Dice", which is Mid-Fi Electronics' Random Number Generator type circuit. A lot of Escobedo's circuits aren't clear on their product page, but divulged when looking at the build docs.

Anyway, whether there's a vague connection or not between the original circuit's name and Moonn's clone monicker, I still have to look up every damn Moonn circuit (just like I do for all of Dead End FX's offerings) to figure out what it is based on.

I hear Shaolin monks are only allowed to use strip board for their pedal builds...

Once the monks move on to being Masters, they move on to point-to-point — at first with turrets, then finally component-direct for Shaolin's Elite Dragon-warrior Grand-Masters.

Interesting.. my last 4 or 5 orders from T went through DHL and I didn't pay any service fees. Tax only.

Germany is fastidious with service fees for customs now. Post/DHL/DHL Express.. all have their charges.

If I could find a forwarding company within the EU who was cheaper than the handling charges.. well, that's a business model!

Yes the site is too cute like that. It's already hard as it is to know what a circuit might sound like, I don't need to have to look at a circuit and magically guess what it is. They're all clones with a couple of mods, just tell me and let's get on to the PayPal page.
 
Another stellar mail day... nothing to do with pedalry, though. I already had the fatbucker which is really what inspired this pending Frankenstein. For sentimental reasons I'm going to fit a Mexican jbass neck and bridge (like my first bass) to a peavey t40 body.

I borrowed a t40 at one point in the late 90s and I've since grown attached to the look but do not care much for the neck, headstock or ridiculous electronics. This'll have the novak fatbucker in the neck position, a mojo jazzmaster sized j in the bridge, and likely a serek b90 in the middle. I'm considering wiring it up like a bass vi. Part of me wants to ditch the volume and tone pots entirely and do a little buckethead kill switch instead. We'll see.

It's late and at first I thought I was looking at kitchen equipment :)
Is that a J neck in your Peavey T40 pocket or are you just happy to see me?
 
Got these in the mail today!

My daughter getting old enough that I can begin to uncover my records and player as it's not such a point of contention with her anymore so I've been back to buying vinyl again.

Anyways, this record from A. Savage has been a regular in my Spotify so I had to get a physical version of course. It's become one of my favorites this past year or so.

Anyways, he had the option on his Bandcamp to pay more for the record if you'd like, so I added some extra cash to support an artist I dig.

I'm assuming that's where this second record came from, because I didn't buy it, so I'm guessing that it was thrown in as a thank you. Or maybe it was a mistake... Who knows!

Anyways, you should certainly listen to A. Savage if you get a chance.

I have to ask. Do you own vinyls because they sound better or because of the bigger artwork, physical size and collectability?
