    I opened mine up and removed the two red LEDs from the board - these are the two clipping diodes that provide the overdrive. Mine’s brilliant now! 😄

    Loop-based from a single 555 timer, obviously!

    Brilliant news!

    All of the above. A light valve drive and compressor are always on, then I have a couple of other, dirtier drives that I turn off and on depending on the song. My chopped OC2 takes care of sub sounds, and modulation and pitch shift come from a Line 6 M5. Squelchy fun (my least used effect) is a chunk systems Agent 00Funk and HPF at then end of the board

    I’ll see your BDI21 and raise you the ADI21. It’s behringer’s Paradriver clone and it’s brilliant. I also picked up a DHA VT1 dual custom in need of some TLC from the ‘bay for £50 that eclipses everything. Took me about 6 months of careful circuit tracing and building an active eq circuit for it but it’s easily my best £50 purchase.

    I use exactly this setup and it’s been rock solid!

    Currently having my arse kicked by ‘Teentown’. Sounds like someone else we know…

    I’ve been playing about with a valvecaster circuit recently. I’m running it at 18v with an internal 12v regulator for the plates on the ecc83. Pretty nice but still playing about with a blend circuit on it too!

    The SVP won't break up as it's not designed to. The SVP PRO will add valve drive by pushing a 12AU7 into overdrive, but it's not just diode clipping. 10001c1_.pdf Page 2 shows the arrangement and use of the 5 preamp tubes - V4 is the 12AU7 responsible for the 'drive' circuit. It can sound a bit 'fizzy' when running direct to a desk, but through a power amp and an 8x10 it's glorious.

    I once took a banjo to a local luthier shortly before he died, and he snapped it in half and burnt the pieces. God, I miss him.

    The octaver on my line 6 M5 is surprisingly good for a unit that’s 16 years old!

    The BB is the single best Rat based dirt pedal for bass guitar EVER. You should buy it anyway and then form a band where it's absolutely necessary; they're THAT good.

    My brother is looking a clear P bass scratch plate. Does anyone know of a manufacturer who can do one? NW England.

    Great news. I can't imagine three years without playing!

    Moi aussi. Geddy has always had a unique tone, but the Moving Pictures/Subdivisions era are just untouchable.

    yes, all of the earths need to be connected together. Top Tip - soldering to the back of pots can be tricky, as they have some plating on the back of them that makes it difficult. Use some wire wool or fine grit glass/sand paper to take to coating off so that the solder adheres better to the bare metal.
