Bought a set of Fender 62 Precision pickups from Geoff. They arrived really quickly, were well packaged and communication was spot on. An absolute pleasure to deal with 😀 Also, the tone and clarity from these pickups is fantastic, very impressed.

Do you have two spare 9v outputs on the pedal power? If you do you could use a y cable to get your 18v?

This is a thing of absolute beauty! Well done @Chopthebass for producing such a stunning looking bass, it looks incredible. Really looking forward to hearing some sounds.

These look immense well done Jon! When you have them landscape do the hf horns need rotating as well so they’re both vertically aligned or are they ok as per the photos?

Thank you that’s worked fine ☺️

They look awesome 😍

I’ve noticed the sub-forum layout has gone squiffy when viewing on my iPhone. No images loading and repeat marketplace overview that looks like it should be hidden. Have cleared cookies and cache and still like it.

Could it also be your amp/eq settings when in a band context? Are the frequencies of notes on those strings clashing with other instruments?

This recent thread will help…

Fabulous yet again @disssa!! Is that a heat sink bolted to the board near the LED/foot switch? Is this your own layout?

I’ve just double checked and it was the tone filter switch that I flicked between for the sounds above (will update the labels). It’s in a plain box as I only recently built it so forgot which switch was the tone and which one was for the diodes. I might have another go at recording and toggling between the diodes as well but as the setting I had it on was using the original diodes it’s essentially the same circuit as an original Univox.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you @greentext I've been DIY'ing but hopefully these 4 samples will give you some idea of what this pedal is about. There is a caveat - I'm playing this on a P Bass with Labella flatwounds as that's all I've got to hand and using my phone mic, so it's not going to give you MCA's 70s Jazz with roundwounds tone and studio quality recording 😆 Gratitude (1khz tone filter on) Gratitude.mp3 Sabotage Sabotage.mp3 Futterman's Rule (normal tone setting) Futtermans Rule 1.mp3 Futterman's Rule (1khz tone filter on) Futtermans Rule 2.mp3 This pedal is an absolute filthy beast. I love it.

I use Capo on my Mac, seems to work really well.

BMW’s come with indicators? 😁

I’ll see if I can knock something up tomorrow as a demo

I’ve just built a Univox Superfuzz pedal to get that exact tone. It sounds amazing, like the world is about to explode.

Power Alley, where all the best ten pin bowlers go...

Exactly the same reasons why I hardly ever use it, except for mundane stuff or things I can't find anywhere else. I used to like eBay before the business model changed to putting everything in the buyers favour and they treated their sellers with contempt.

Yeah that’s a fair point. I was just wanting to do it myself as a bit a test I suppose.

Because I want to get more into understanding how it all works and I have half a dozen stripboards sat around. It’s based on the Hollis pedal but there are a few differences with the afterlife. I have seen that layout but I m trying not to look at that for the first reason in my reply above, I want to understand more about how things work and why.
