If they are coming from the diy /freestompboxes scene they would be - “here’s this thing that is around but not available to try” The ones that are actually retuning circuits to their own taste are doing something new and deserve the credit - someone like Cog effects or 3leaf are creating a new repeatable product out of a common series of circuits and building blocks. The thing that annoys me slightly is for every Cog effects (for example) who genuinely try and enginerer a better octave for bass players you’ll have others who take a common circuit like a zvek SHO, apply the mods that have been floating around on freestompboxes and other places online and bring it out as an original pedal…. Which is why it wouldn’t surprise me if this fella/lass coming doing the chunk stuff is from the diy scene originally. (btw I don’t know who it remind you of!)

Traces of Both pedals have been in the DIY community for years. Theres no legal way to copyright a circuit unless there’s something that is so original and novel that you can patent it. Patents aren’t at all common on circuits as simple and derivative as 99% of analogue guitar pedals. The only way you could make a ‘blatant rip-off’ is a DemonFX style pedal where you copy the copyrightable trade dress. By the time a pedal has been out of production for a decade I really don’t see there’s a issue of bringing out a pedal that is a clone or near clone of something and maybe some improvements. I have more problems with pedal makers using circuits and passing them off as their own amazing work that’s a game changer in guitar/bass playing … and it’s actually a clone of something and no credit is given to the original designer …

@0175westwood29 - you have a clean patch??!

A fun problem!

Even 12mm ply ontop a dc7?

Read the end and height seemingly not an option

Could you make your board two level with enough space to tick something slim under the top level. Also then have two straight rows of pedals.

I think ild ideally need to upgrade my basic soldering iron too - hmmm

Think I paid £6 for my last spool of solder! 🤣

For years I’ve been using leaded solder - and nearly at the end of my spool… any recommendations for lead free solder that’s not awful not going to make me want to throw things out the window?

finally - the bass video!

Nice pink theme there!

What @Terry M. said !

the other option would be leave it as is and build a new one https://www.musikding.de/EQ-Anyone-kit

I have an omnicomp. I do not GAS for compressors any more.

Something like This underneath? Not transformer di but sound good. More a sound techs solution than the forum hype of pinstripe or walrus! https://www.showbitz.co.uk/product/orchid-electronics-micro-di/

Depends - if there’s a good reason for them being sideways it’s no problem in my book. In teebs case it’s so he can get the xlr in easily so that makes sense

A “care” reaction like on Facebook would be the best here

still waiting for it mate!

I had a guy come to my house once to buy a fretless bass, played in theatre shows, sessions and overwater endorser. Heard him play the bass and he was so good I knocked my sale price down by £100 without him asking - absolutely no reason for me to own a fretless when other people can make it sound that good

Mono gigbag. Perfect

I use safari on my iPhone, apart from quoting photos I've not had a problem. Every text box I've found works with iOS's standard hold down space bar to move curser. On another note I didn't even realise thee was an app

average player is probably a guitarist and would go for niche? Dunno @Quatchmacher - did you find/try my (not very good) B15 a-like patch I made?
