  1. Actually, whilst I'm here:

    I'm looking at adding a blend to a fuzz. I have both circuits built my question is on switching.
    I'd like to have one footswitch to turn the whole effect on and off and another to turn the blend function on and off.
    Can anyone offer me a good diagram for wiring the switches. I've hunted high and low and cannot seem to find one.

  2. Nice one TG, Thats a great help.

    Yeah, in 3/ I'm exactly on about ZVEX type artwork I'll check out the Uni Posca's.

    And it looks like an oven might be a good idea, even just for the dust free aspect. Who'd of thought I'd need an oven to make pedals!

    Still unsure about priming the pedals and what to use, is etch primer purely used pre etching? So therefore if I'm just painting them a stock aluminium primer is what I'd want.

    Cheers again I'm off to source a cheap toaster oven.

    Decided to build a prototyping rig, based on the Beavis Audio Beavisboard.
    Need to get another breadboard, or two, and finish wiring it all up.
    But it's a start:

    Excellent work sir. I have just built my first few effects pedals (including a bass fuss!) and am about to embark on a Beavis style proto rig too. And I am also instantly addicted!

    Can anyone offer me some advice on painting the enclosures?

    1/ I have read loads of walkthroughs on the process, but they all suggest baking them in an oven. Is that really necessary? Can I just leave them to dry?

    2/ Also how do I prime them, do I use an etch primer? or can I just use a standard car type primer?

    3/ if I want to paint artwork on them can I use acrylic paint and then clear coat them?

    So many questions, I'd be really grateful for some advice.

    [Pedant mode ON]

    CITV = ITV (yuk)

    Zingzillas is on CBeebies.

    My bad, you are quite correct. I should know better. Good knowledge though sir.

  5. My son watches CBeebies (Not CITV - Thanks WOT) 24/7 and usually I just tune out whilst doing other things, but my ears pricked up when I heard some cool bass playing.

    Check out Zender slapping like a goodun 3:10 and on a tune about a Banana! 18:20

  6. Bought a Noiseless J bridge pickup from Derek. Arrived quick, came with everything (including screws) and was just as described.

    Easy purchase, wouldn't hesitate to deal with again.

    I now have a PJ bass without the inherent single coil hum, Hurrah!

  7. Tried it with the above tips, and yes it tracks much better.

    Still not perfect, but better. Its ever so easy to get lots of double notes and octaves jumping about all over that place.

    Still, its reminded me how cool the Nanobass is, plenty of great synth sounds in there.

    Someone needs to buy this.

    Apologies for the slight hijack of the thread, but consider it several free bumps!

    On the bright side, there's a thread on talkbass where at least one guy talks about how to get better tracking out of it. AFAICR this involves feeding it the simplest signal possible, boost the bass, remove the treble, can't remember any more.

    Found it: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f38/purchased-sonuus-b2m-bass-midi-interface-642609/

    Might have another go with it later and see if the above tips help.

  9. Perhaps with lots of tweaking the B2M may track better?

    In my experience, I found its latency a problem.

    The Nanobass is great for a bit keyboard bass though, someone must fancy a bit of that? Some of the sub bass patches are awesome!
