MrDinsdale Posted Thursday at 13:05 Posted Thursday at 13:05 I’ve always wanted to try Airbrushing, I’ve had a book on it for about 20 years 🤣 Maybe this would be a good opportunity to grab one. Quote

MrDinsdale Posted Thursday at 21:06 Posted Thursday at 21:06 So far these are the 3 that stand out as potential builds that would be super handy for me. The Euna is a definite. I’d probably grab one more while I’m there. The Compressor is tempting because it looks pretty easy and my Accountant is ace but noisy. The Muzzle noise gate looks a little more faffy but a noise gate would be extremely handy for me, particularly with the sidechain option. Quote
LukeFRC Posted Thursday at 22:01 Posted Thursday at 22:01 Don't forget knobs! If I won the lottery and could go on a pedal building bender - these are what I would be thinking about for bass... PCPB Frequency interchange - awesome sounding high pass/low pass -made one Drebbel Bass Preamp/EQ - clone of Southampton Pedals Ictineo Preamp/EQ Capsize Preamp - Broughton Fliptop Mofeta Preamp is EAE modelFet - I think you have the real thing? Scabbard Overdrive - EAE dagger Byzantium Flanger - BF2 Chop shop -Barbershop, made one, you have to use the right spec J201 for the circuit so not sure about Musikding kits for this. SS/BS mini is similar and IMO better. Curds and Whey Distortion - prunes and custard ... made a load of these on my own PCB, love it! Fornicus Overdrive - SS/BS f- overdrive Obsidius Preamp - DG B3k Simulcast or duocast- hudsonbroadcast Parentheses Mini Fuzz - EQD life Desolate Fuzz - Fairfield unpleasant surprise CheeseMonger Fuzz - love tone big cheese - I built the Aion version... Kewpie Fuzz - Japanese muff varient - probably build one this year Nein Fuzz - Fairfield 900 Phase II/ Duo-Phase - mutron phasers Deflector Reverb - EQD afterneath AION Quartz Optical Compressor - Diamond compressor Spectron - Meatball TS-50 bass preamp Acoustic 360 bass preamp Binary - DG duiality Lab series L4 bass preamp - Pearce sounding thing, it's good, but cheaper to buy mine I'm selling! Neurotron - Lovetone ring stinger Quadratron - Lovetone doppleganger Xenotron - flange with no name Conspiracy to Commit Electronics (sushi box's diy stuff) Bassdude - fender bassman Nobelium - Nobel preamp Particle Accelerator - F2B preamp. Delyk - Up down daddy - Pearl OC7 octave Electric druid - Flangelicious Parasit for drunken guitar synth stuff No PCB that can be bothered to find... but schematics ...

MrDinsdale Posted Thursday at 23:33 Posted Thursday at 23:33 I’ve got an EAE Model FeT and Dagger but I’d still love to build them 🤣 That’s a very handy list, there’s a bunch there which sound really tempting! Quote
Homatron Posted 21 hours ago Posted 21 hours ago (edited) 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/ Edited 21 hours ago by Homatron Quote
MrDinsdale Posted 17 hours ago Posted 17 hours ago The more I’ve been digging around and I think I’m gonna build the Euna kit as a warm up. I decided I do wanna get a DIY breadboard and a bunch of components I need to try out a few designs. There’s a Harmonic Percolator someone shared which I’d like to play around with. Maybe make a few tweaks here and there and learn as I go. I really wanna learn more about what I’m building and I’m not gonna get that just from putting together kits. Might even make some use out of the videos I watched on KiCad when I was looking at doing my own split mech keyboard layout. 2 Quote

MrDinsdale Posted 16 hours ago Posted 16 hours ago PS some of this is very aspirational stuff considering my current understanding but would love to learn this stuff. TBF if software development continues the trend of shifting to offshoring work and more reliance on AI producing spaghetti code it wouldn’t hurt to have some foundational understanding of a more practical trade 🫠 Quote
