[quote name='mancunianfox' post='753238' date='Feb 21 2010, 08:48 PM']First pedal I have built in ages. Silicon Fuzz Face with increased input and output caps for more bass. I used 2N222 transistors in this. Controls for Fuzz, Bias and Volume. First time painting an enclosure, a metallic red finish. Very hot output. Has two sounds really, a gated fuzz and a full on fuzzy meltdown. Quite pleased with how it turned out although next time I think I will try some decals as well.[/quote] Very nice! Paint job looks good too.

Good tunes & a good cause. Will try to get down to the Croft 22nd. Have a good one.

Another Blazer, here's my '81.

Probably posted this before, but one to add to this thread... '83 RB920 Roadstar

Bought a set of Quarter Pounders & a control plate off Howard. Fair price & quick despatch. A good guy to deal with. Thanks

Hi Mike, Nice to hear from you. Cheers

[quote name='Linus27' post='744786' date='Feb 14 2010, 01:54 PM']I to would like to know what is going on. I spoke to maddude16 last night with regards to what happened to Jimmy and everything seemed above board. I also made a donation which has now been refunded. It would be nice to know what is going on?[/quote] Ditto

Bought a Jazz bass project from Duncan this afternoon. Decent chap & very knowledgeable. Would do business again with him without hesitation.

Bought an EBS MultiComp off John. Fair price, straightforward deal. Top guy, very knowledgeable & a pleasure to do business with. Thoroughly recommended. Cheers

[quote name='LukeFRC' post='737859' date='Feb 7 2010, 09:13 AM']okay... next question.... i still want to build at least one of the effects im thinking of putting in this box... whats the negatives of taking cheaper dano or behringer pedals, which with some of them the main negative i hear is the plastic mountings, and remounting them in my box. In effect all I would be doing was remounting the circuitry, I seem to remeber hearing that some of the dano pedals were very close copies of other things anyway?[/quote] As well as rehousing cheap pedals, modding is another thing worth considering. I've bass-ified Bad Monkey, Boss CS-3 along with a few others. Some info here that might be of interest [url="http://freestompboxes.org/viewforum.php?f=11&sid=f28c60f2c999c5c81a1c68346bd72aab"]Freestompboxes 'Pimp My Cheap Pedal'[/url]

[quote name='Musky' post='737502' date='Feb 6 2010, 06:44 PM']No bids? I would have been all over that if I seen it before the auction finished. Mind you, the girlfriend would have probably been all over me if I'd bought it, and not in a good way. [/quote] I've got one of those, albeit with a more tasteful headstock & in red/black sunburst. It's a cracking bass, wish I'd seen that listing.

I'm another (amateur) pedal builder. Though unless I'm building something for someone else, only build what I need or interested in trying out. Though IMHO, still think it works out more cost effective to buy some pedals rather than to make them. However, decent fuzzes,OD's,distortions etc are well worth making & a damn sight cheaper than originals, generally easy to build too. One of the best examples being Woolly Mammoth. If you're interested in fuzz, I'd recommend the [url="http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=62&Itemid=26"]Brassmaster clone[/url]. Love mine. For overdrive [url="http://www.aronnelson.com/gallery/main.php/v/DRAGONFLY-LAYOUTS_0/album17/album06/WH_RED_LLAMA_001.jpg.html"]Red Llama[/url] is pretty good & easy to build. Cheers

Bought a set of VMJ pickups from Waynepunkdude. Good price & quick delivery. Recommended.
