I didn’t have the classic F91W to hand… luckily I had enough room left on the board for its bigger brother, W217H! Happy to give it a new lease of life after a broken strap mounting hole saw it unused for years.

I'm revisiting my Battalion after a little time away from it, and discovered the internal trim pot for the compressor. It was adding heaps of gain before but I'm happier now I've tamed it.

Looking forward to giving this a whirl at practice later. I mainly need a couple of drive options, but I just can't leave home without an octaver of some sort! Broughton BBA and a power bank underneath, but I'm most pleased to have found a new home for the broken watch I found on my desk!

Haha... that ought to be added to the IEM megathread.

That'll be 5 minutes of my Friday evening accounted for then...

Great thinking @LukeFRC! I wonder if an analog delay would do the job. Setting the feedback quite high and increasing delay time might get you most of the way there. I don't remember a note being repeated at the end when messing around with this in the past.

The PBM looks good. Interestingly the description suggests there's a line input but I can only see an instrument input in the pictures.

Having been on a bit of a jazz bender for months, I've just been shaken out of it by Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs!

I just had a quick play with the EHX Bass Mono Synth but there wasn't really a slowing down effect in there. Lots of menacing/sci-fi sounds possible once you get an expression pedal involved... should the need ever arise.

I strongly recommend going to see them live! Super fun, and seriously tight!

I was going to suggest the Boss XS-100/XS-1 but then checked the price... similarly spendy as the above. I'd have to check but the EHX Mono Bass Synth might do something that fits the bill when paired with an expression pedal.

How upright? There are vans which get close to tall enough. E.g. Fiat Ducato/Citroen Relay in H3 format is 2.17 m max load height. Loading the basses with a slight lean this may be tall enough.

Could you please add a reflex test to the great OC5 latency investigation meetup @pantherairsoft, @thisisswanbon? The one where you catch a ruler as it is dropped through your fingers should do it.

If I offer $1, am I likely to get stung for $49k shipping costs?

That's quite the list @LukeFRC! I might have to do some digging into some of those. In case you hadn't seen it, Five Cats Pedals do a JPTR Jive clone PCB. I previously built up their SHO clone and added my own diodes to emulate the Jive, but they released this fairly recently: https://www.five-cats-pedals.co.uk/product/jive-by-shooter-jptr-fx-jive-clone/
