Oh, the brown-series GE-7B. I tried a friend's a year or so ago and while I liked it for the mid frequencies, I kinda felt I was missing some control on the lows. YMMV, of course. I think the brown one with a shelving low control would have been ideal for me (to the drawing board! ).

Have you got any links to the GE-B7? Never heard of it.

They look quite good, did you use Inkscape?

Have you contacted customer service?

I think this is good for just about everyone. More designs from Douglas, relay switching for Darkglass pedals, and a decrease in pricing for the US people.

A tube Bassman emulator would be an instant buy from me.

[quote name='phil.i.stein' timestamp='1338133554' post='1669945'] personally, i got rid of the m-80 as i didn't like that 'bees-in-a tin' quality. been looking for the perfect one for a while, and thinking of getting a rat-tail. but, having seen the demo of the FEA dual-band-distortion (currently out of stock), i'm holding out for that. [/quote] Thanks for selling me your M80! I personally use it to add a bit of grit to my main tone (gain minimum, blend at 11 o' clock). I wouldn't really use it as a distortion, but it might just work.

I think the way to put a DI into it is the same as for any other pedal.

Chi-wah-wah! Did you buy it direct? I can´t find the bass version at their dealers. Edit: Oh, you´re in the USA. OK.

So you ARE Excane... Great demos, they have tripled my GAS in about half an hour!

[quote name='LiamPodmore' post='1351760' date='Aug 25 2011, 10:07 PM']This is probably one of the strangest ideas i've had, but does anyone think its possible to take the guts of a VT Deluxe, and put it into a rackmount chassis with a 4 button footwitch? I'm planning on moving to a rack system later this year, along with getting a VT Deluxe but i don't want cables trailing across the stage (Main reason i'm going wireless) because they get annoying. Its probably a stupid idea, but i'll bounce it off you guys anyway, you're more knowledgeable than me. Liam[/quote] Maybe I misunderstood, but wouldn´t the 4-button footswitch be trailing cables anyway? In any case, you should be able to unless the pots and jacks are directly soldered to the board. IMO, it´s too pricey to risk f****** up on, but that´s just me. Maybe you could get a pro to do it for you?

Would you have any use for a boost or a fuzz if you had them? If so, I´d recommend making one of those first. Of course, if the DOD250 sounds like tonal nirvana to you, by all means go for it. I admire your testicular fortitude.

Schem for an Alembic F-2B (it has JFETs) Perf layout Vero layout Some bass preamp (I don´t think it´s commercially available. It also has JFETs) And a Fender tone-stack (it has a low output, so you might want to add a booster) You can ask in the DIY thread in the Effects subforum, maybe someone will have a better answer.

[quote name='cheddatom' post='1333429' date='Aug 9 2011, 12:51 PM']But his dirt pedal already has a blend control[/quote] Sorry, I was having a slow day. I skipped a sentence. What I meant to say (but failed) was that the OP could get a dirt pedal which he liked the drive sound of without worrying about low-end loss, and then blend it with his clean signal.

[quote name='dan2112' post='1337220' date='Aug 12 2011, 06:00 AM']Not sure if this is a common problem or not...but I've built a wooly mammoth clone....everything works when bypassed but there is no sound at all when the pedal is engaged! Anything I should check? This is my first ever build and I'm very much a newbie to all of this![/quote] I just had that same problem. I wired the input and output jacks the wrong way round. If that isn´t the problem, you´ll have to use yer multimeter.

You could try blending the dirt with the clean signal, with the Boss LS-2, for example. [url="http://www.bosscorp.co.jp/products/en/LS-2/"]http://www.bosscorp.co.jp/products/en/LS-2/[/url] You could also make your own blender, or get a dirt pedal with a blend control.

If you can´t find a commercial buffer, you can either do one yourself or get Silentfly from [SFX] to make you one. Either way, it should be small.

[quote name='Al Heeley' post='1287893' date='Jun 30 2011, 04:46 PM']This is for our lead guitarist. It doesn't do anything, just the red LED flashes randomly for a bit when someone stomps on it. He seems to like it though.[/quote] LOL. I´ll have to try that sometime. Anyway, I´ve soldered the Red Llama PCB and the extra tone pot, and I´ll finish assembling it when I´ve painted the enclosure.

I´ll just wire it at the end of the board, following the advice of the owner of Fuzzrocious (http://www.fuzzrociouspedals.com/). Unless anyone gives conflicting instructions, of course.

All these effects look really good. I´m looking to build one this summer, but I´ve got a question (so far). How would you wire a Big Muff passive tone control onto an overdrive circuit? Between the gain and volume stages? First thing? Here´s the BMP tone control schem: (the simple one) [url="http://www.beavisaudio.com/techpages/BigMuffToneControl/"]http://www.beavisaudio.com/techpages/BigMuffToneControl/[/url] And this is the circuit (Red Llama): [url="http://diy.musikding.de/images/stories/llama/llamaschalt.pdf"]http://diy.musikding.de/images/stories/llama/llamaschalt.pdf[/url] [url="http://diy.musikding.de/images/stories/llama/llamawire.pdf"]http://diy.musikding.de/images/stories/llama/llamawire.pdf[/url] Thanks in advance, I´ll let you know when I get a third-degree burn!

Light to medium overdrive for me. Also, I can´t gig without a volume pedal, if that counts.

I´ve just bought a pedal from Si. Very kind and helpful through the process, and didn´t lose interest as soon as he got paid . Shipping was pretty fast, considering I live in Spain. Nice chap all around!
