What's in the mailbox? 📬 📦

As someone who primarily plays at home now, the Princeton gets the most love out of all of my amps. In fact, im seriously considering thinning the herd and just keeping the Princeton. As long as I keep it clean I love it… just don’t like how they break up when cranked- of course that would get me evicted anyways.. and hey I got pedals if I want dirt!

From my amp clear out two years ago the Princeton is the only one I really miss tbh. I've been gigging a Marshall for the last year but I'd love another Princeton for playing at home or as a grab and go for jam sessions.
 
I ordered some boards (mostly fuzzes) from Pedalpcb for my birthday. Feb 17th. I’ve patiently been tracking their movements through the southern states, and up to Canada. I’ve been in Nicaragua for the last month, looking forward to starting a few projects when I return.
Well I flew back last night and the boards beat me home by two days. Woot woot!!!
 
When you see a couple boards you’ve been waiting for finally come in at the same time as a sale, you can’t help but buy! I think I ended up with about a dozen boards and a dozen switch breakouts.
Looks like Tayda, Mouser and SBP orders being made sometime over the next week or so!
Yeah, I don't need any more projects. I still have 3 preamps, multiple complete Lovetone DeFX boards to box, more pedals and boards, and other guitar projects I need to get done.

But, if it helps my daughter is interested and she learns some skills and patience, then great.
 
This was a Deal too Good to refuse, they were both New Youtube Ex Demo pedals.
RRP New was $888.00AU including shipping, I got both for $370.00AU delivered.
The Space Charged is 40v Internally on the 12ay7 Tube but it Sounds Great!!!
The Boost only works in conjuction with the Overdrive side!
They are both Stacked PCB Design so if you were to try & build it, that would be only option on the HI POWER!
These are both built using a standard 1590bb, It would have to be a Taller Enclosure for D.I.Y!
They are both Awesome pedals!:

Optical delusion here! The HiPower looks a lot bigger! And I agree, a diy would have to be at least a 1590bb2 or 1590xx, although i bet that bottom board on both is likely just their “soft touch switching” circuitry and power/io stuff that could be simplified with mechanical switches.
I’d still not want to attempt in smaller enclosures than the BB2 or XX
 
The Loot: Basic Audio Mutant Fuzz, Mid-fi Demo Tape Fuzz, Scientific Guitarist Riptide Reverb and Aeronometron Resonant/Formant Filter, Coqui Circuitry Dancing Queen, Sheepylove That Drive, Texel, Figbuster, Sarda, Uggsy, relay bypass, T.H. Engineering relay bypass, and an Echomatic (some sort of echo using an analog tape player as delay processing) from oshpark. I love this faceplate for “that drive”. image.jpg image.jpg

That's "ampy" on the that Drive faceplate. He's from the discord.

Just be aware that the TH and SL relays are different.. :)
 
According to USPS Informed Delivery, I have a package coming today from “Auctane Shipeasy, Albany GA”… whatever that could be 🤣😂
 
I've been looking at lexicon mx200 and mx400. What's the difference with the mpx models?
Here is the MX200 manual and some Sound on Sound reviews that give you the features and differences between MX200 & MX400.
I have an old MX200 and really like it. But I think the key thing to be aware of is that it's really built for line level signals, not instrument level. I.e., when used w/ instrument level signals, you're throwing away a fair amount of signal-to-noise ratio.
