What's on the workbench?

[LukeFRC]

It’s a very common circuit
The kind you may take for granted
It will never let your signal down
Once you get it off the shelf, ow, sustain

It likes the freqs in the band-pass
It plays that chick’npick’n country favourite
When I make my move to windmill, it's the right time
It’s never hard to squeeze, oh, no

That signal is pretty wild now (the circ’s a Super Comp)
The kind of pedal you read about (in Guitar magazines)
That pedal is pretty squishy (the circ’s a Super Comp)
I really love to stomp it (every time I gig)

It’s alright, it’s alright
That comp’s alright with me
Yeah, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Circ’s a Super Comp, Super Comp
It’s super-squishy, yow
Everybody play
Super Comp, SUPER COMP!

Can I have some of whatever you’re drinking

I wanted to reposition the knobs on my semi hollow bass so the 10s would point at me. I took one knob off with the set screw and sure enough the pots are 6mm knurled with no brass sleeve inside.

I tried to put the knob back on but the grub screw froze in place and it's basically stripped. I had to go and mess with it, didn't I?
Any ideas on how to get the grub screw out?

I think you may want to get a new knob?

Good luck to me finding an original knob

Goddamnit why did I have to go and touch it?!

I mean you can’t just drop this here without telling us what they are! Look at those puppies! So cute.

I make them with the same artwork as the originals, clients ask for it like that, so I don't think it's cool to share it here, but basically they are like the originals

Ah didn’t look at the silkscreen at first. Nice boards!

@flsilva, Those look fantastic, they belong in their own thread about the 1590A boards.

I've gotta ask about 'm, but I'll wait for their own thread...

(This is, after all, What's On Robert's Workbench thread.)

I may very well have missed it but this is one that got me very stoked a while back when you dropped this here...any status update for us??

 

[LukeFRC]

@Robert what’s cooking?

 

[Ctrl4Smilerz]

Not long at all, just need to program the microcontrollers... probably sometime this week once all of the Black Friday backlog is cleared out.

@Robert any update on this? I'm really excited for this project!

Do you have a dremel with a small engraver-type bit? Maybe you can grind the slot a bit deeper.

I was looking forward to a thread about those pedals by @flsilva...

Be cool if there were some more 1590A PPCB, but I know that's not Robert's thing.

oh, thank you very much

I have some mini pedal projects for the course of the year
I promise to post them in the correct part of the forum for them.

Howdy, Robert! Is the signal buffer / inverter board still in the works?

It’s in the “coming soon” bit of the website so I recon so!

Been there for awhile, but I suppose soon is subjective.
