Fresh out the mailbox after a 3 month wait; New body from Warmoth!

One piece Mahogany body. Inca Silver top, natural back, black binding. Routed for P90s and a Hipshot hardtail bridge. I should note that for a a painted body with binding they quote 17-18 weeks. This shipped 12 weeks to the day!

The neck is from Musikraft. Mahogany/Indian Rosewood. '69 U Custom Shop profile. They fit great and even match visually pretty closely aside from the gloss v matte finishes. I can't wait to start working on this.

Nice, the Warmoth shop is local to
Me, they’ve got a lot of cool machines! I source my mahogany from the same place they do I’ll bet!

These are available with a 8-week lead time. Available as HB-FB in PAF size baseplates and covers, or in Firebird/Mini-HB size. All share the same vintage spec Firebird bobbins and vertical bar magnets. These are available in graduated output levels from vintage to hotter. My preferred hotter...

I'll probably pair it with a Filtertron in the bridge

Found an old tech 21 boost rvb on marketplace for super cheap, dude was cool with mailing it over so I’ll have it in a couple days. I like using reverb before and after dirt and this one having trails and a boost built in means I can probably do disgusting things with it on the front end. If not it was still cheaper than building an FV-1 verb

Very cool. Timbo makes good stuff.

Fun assortment of vintage semiconductors. A bunch of Texas Instruments 2N130x germaniums, some long-lead 2N708 silicon transistors, DO-7 package zener and silicon diodes, and half a dozen germanium diodes. (I've put a full breakdown below the break for anyone who's interested in the details.) The most interesting part is the 20 TO-18 transistors on the left. They're Texas Instruments GM0438, which appears to be a house number. They are definitely germanium, but they are the least leaky germanium that I've ever found. I had to heat them up to 150 degrees to get them to leak more than 10µA.

Found this crusty old SD-1 for cheap online. Half expected it not to work but it does. Also came with a free dead bug and the smell of 30 years worth of a couple of guys chain smoking in a damp rehearsal space.

Ozone generator ftw

I bought an old computer that turned out to be from a restauranteur who must've made his mgr office walls nicotine brown…

I used to smoke as well but never indoors. It just ruins everything in the room

The SD-1 is the best!

soon to be in the mail:

Between my DeadEnd FX order, and recently completed Cheesemonger, I will have the Lovetone set I wanted in my early 20s

 

[jwin615]

Been watching these on reverb and grabbed one for half of new price
Curious if it does the GB grind.
The filter only affects the dirt signal.

I'll definitely be popping this open.

Some heavy projects fresh from the EU.

Thanks for the hookup @tegendemuur!

 

[bluedmc777]

A set of new tires for my truck. Managed to get 86,000 miles, and counting, on my current set! Also some goodies from a friend and a few parts from electronics goldmine.

 

[gtfields13]

Oooooohh. All sorts of goodness today!

The biggest box of Tayda enclosures yet, including my first enclosures to sell. Plus some DTF UV print transfers from NinjaPrints to compare with Tayda UV printing.

Most of these, though, are test cases for standard PPCB and Aion control dimensions and generic print, but this is also a bunch of new colors to evaluate.


I think I have my font size / outline stroke worked out now.


More importantly, all of these can get housed and demo'ed properly. Lots of build reports on their way (I think this is maybe 19 different circuits).


Plus DHL didn't quite get my second set of six painted/drilled cases to me today, although they were listed as scheduled. Those go with the DTF UV Prints, so tomorrow or Wednesday, six more cases will arrive. Time to get busy at night...

Burnt orange
Matte red sand texture (kind of like the texture of a phase 90)
Army green
Metallic candy purple
Matte violet
Matte light blue
Metallic dark gold
Lawn green

Looks complicated and expensive to build! Synths?

Large format effects units. Could be giant pedals I guess, but I'm leaning toward rack mount, or some kind of desktop enclosures.

Definitely complicated and expensive.

I got a phaser, a flanger, and a Dim-D style chorus.

Maybe you'll get to watch us all crash and burn and never finish any of these, and you can be glad you stayed on the sidelines

I got swept up in the FOMO when the big VFE group buy was happening, but by the time the dust settled, I was glad I had stayed out.

Hah, got about selling those VFE boards I got once a build stereo version came about. I consider time to be more valuable than money. Especially after my (statistically) halfway point got crossed.

These haible's looked fun, and with many using obsolete parts that are still somewhat available, and no guarantee of...
