The Fender S1 switch was a push button in the end of the volume control, it switched the two pickups from parallel to series, so effectively treated both pickups as one, rather spaced out, Precision pickup. I had a Fender Jazz with the S1 and almost exclusively played it in series mode, also has the benefit of one volume control (the bridge pickup volume becomes redundant in series). So, you can either hard-wire a Jazz in series, or wire a switch in that gives you the option to go back to parallel. Si

Glad you're all enjoying it Si // Focusrite

Not gigged one, but hear a lot of good things about the MXR! Si

Looks/sounds interesting, although wouldn't ever trust YouTube vids, would want to try it for myself Si

I know a couple of record stores that do out a limit on purchases on record store day, so maybe stick to those stores rather than a store you have zero rapport with. Also, get there earlier?!? Better luck next year dude. Si

You're probably fine as you have a short cable into your board, but with 8 pedals, if you add up those patch cables, you might have another 3ft of cabling perhaps, you you at consider trying a buffer at the start of the 8 chain. But then again, if it sounds good to you, it is good Si

I'd probably go for the Corona as it has a LOT of toneprints available. If I ever replace my Boss CE-2B, it'll be with a Corona I think, or possibly a Mr Black chorus. Si

If you REALLY want to get on with some Victor, go and study with him. It's surprisingly cheap (IMO) for what you get out of it, I was there last year and is an amazing experience: http://www.vixcamps.com I'd probably recommend the Music/Nature camp (which I attended) as it's a mixture of instruments, the Bass/Nature is just bassists and is also now associated with Berklee, so those guys are gonna be killer players I assume. Si

I've been using Alpha 3PDT from Banzai for the last few builds. I much prefer them, less of a heavy clunk than the standard blue ones. Si

Let's assume that your pedal board is fully true bypass (so no Boss pedals etc). If you run your passive instrument via a long cable into your pedalboard, then I'd put a buffer at the start. If you run 3-4 pedals, you're probably not going to need a buffer really unless you're using the aforementioned long instrument cable. If you're running a short cable from your instrument into 12 pedals, I'd pop a buffer in the middle or the end. If you're running a long cable into a pedalboard of lots of pedals, I'd have one at the start and one at the end. Bear in mind that some pedals (most notably Fuzz Face based fuzz pedals HATE a buffered signal fed to them (hence why they don't work well with active instruments). Also have in mind that if you use any Boss pedals (there are others, DOD, some EHX, some boutique, B7K), basically buffered pedals, these work as your buffer, you don't need a little boutique buffer taking up extra space. A Boss tuner at the start (or wherever you need it as above) will usually do the trick. Si

POG has a really good Octave up in my opinion, but it's octave down lacks any kind of body. It pales in comparison against the OC-2 (forget the OC-3). If you have space on your board, OC-2 for lows, then wait for the new smaller POG Nano for your octave up needs. Si

I built the GGG Green Russian Muff (with added Mid control) and it's great, really great muff tone! Si

Yup, made the request and they reposted them for me . Will get these into Eagle when I'm back from holiday next week. If I get a decent PCB made up, there will be a minimum of 3 pedals out of this little experiment, so maybe 2 up for grabs . I'll probably make it easy on myself and try for PCB mounted pots, so probably looks at a 125b or 1590bb enclosure, but with top-mounted jacks. I've no wish spending hours trying to get it as small as possible haha Si

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1428357593' post='2740611'] Have you chaps seen the Gallien Krueger power-amp distortion sim pedal designed in collaboration with Frank from FEA Labs and pedal nut John K over at Talkbass? Full details and schematics are over here: [url="http://www.talkbass.com/threads/gk-rails-in-a-pedal.1122467/"]http://www.talkbass....-pedal.1122467/[/url] Clips: [url="http://soundcloud.com/johnk_10/gk800rbv5"]http://soundcloud.co...nk_10/gk800rbv5[/url] [url="http://soundcloud.com/johnk_10/gk800rbv5-2"]http://soundcloud.co..._10/gk800rbv5-2[/url] I'd love to try one if anyone's up for building me one! [/quote] Can you see what page the final schematics are on? (Not the etched PCB layout, the actual schematic (and not the schem of the original amp)). Si

Don't think so bud , bought mine new around 2003 I think Si

I bought a Warmoth Jazz neck from their shop stock (so not a custom build). Not quite rosewood, but Pau Ferro fingerboard & the steel stiffening rods. It is on the chunky side for a Jazz, but I like it as I usually play a Precision, and they do offer a slim option if necessary. I haven't really noticed the weight of the rods, but I do have Ultralite tuners on it, so that probably offsets the weight. Remember they do the graphite rod option too, much lighter but more money. I must say that it's a lovely neck! Plays beautifully. Si

I'm only holding off from the Fuzzdog kit because of the size of that switch pot.....so much higher than the standard controls! Si

[quote name='ColinB' timestamp='1428045440' post='2737312'] Look's like the poodles's work to me. [/quote] Found it, thanks, although the above boards have a different layout. The Fuzzdog (Poodles) one won't fit in a 125b like the above Si

Where are the PCBs and ICs from bud? Looking great!! Si

Trooper Boost number 10 Hand painted by Claire Cousins, unfortunaltly the lacquer had an effect on the paint which lost some detail, but still looks badass IMO [IMG]http://i57.tinypic.com/vh8aqh.jpg[/IMG] Si

I'm going to hold onto mine in the hope it'll become sought after . It's an ok looper, but excellent echo/delay pedal Si
