I feel like bluesdads I have met all like Robin Trower. I find that odd because who the gently caress has listened to anything by Robin Trower other than that Bridge of Sighs song?

The problem is that terrible people can like good things.

And actually, I didn't hear Bridge of Sighs until I'd already heard some of Trower's other stuff, since my stepfather only had one of his LPs: For Earth Below.

...whose title track sounds exactly like Bridge of Sighs.

e: Trower is...eh. I don't dislike him, but there's not much of anything that really grabs me.

Yeah I was considering making a thread in SA mart or somewhere and sell some for cheap. i'm on medical leave for a few months from work so i have the free time. i have the parts obviously, with more stuff arriving this week.

it's pretty cheap parts-wise, and wiring/drilling enclosures isn't too bad provided you have the right stuff (i do/have access to what i need). from raw parts to done i could see maybe 1-2 hours? how long did yours take 1010101100101 (sorry don't remember your actual binary name)?

He played on a fine concept album with Procul Harum before he went solo and that was the last time he did anything I'd listen to.

will def take you up on that - hell, can you send 2? please post itt when they arrive

you really dont need much in the way of stuff, soldering irons + solder + perfboards + wire are pretty drat cheap and easy to get. as for space and time you can see his deskspace there, and as long as you have a plan ready it takes very little time.

if that didnt dissuade you though i might be up for it, after this current one gets knocked out

the enclosure stuff and necessary jack soldering took about an hour, then the breadboard assembly was like ten-twenty minutes tops. im doing the perfboard version now and itll probably be an hour so clock it at ~2 hours or so

eh, gently caress it why not. i'll send 2. tracking estimates wednesday arrival and i'd be sending them from boston to give you a time frame.

don't go stealing my business though, damnit. (i don't care but if we both make them we should have them a little similar in some way, maybe name them all priapism with :awesome: on them)


e: also, yeah, the stuff is cheap, and then you already have stuff to make other pedals! if you like doing it, you can even get kits from places if it's something you want to dabble in. don't take me for the norm where i etch my own boards and own way too much poo poo. i also use all of this stuff for work (grad school)

well i don't even have everything yet so yeah i don't really care. it'll just give me more pedals to make, but i still want to make a blue box.

btw if you have veroboard/stripboard on hand this circuit is so much easier than perfboard. http://tagboardeffects.blogspot.com/2010/02/zvex-super-hard-on.html has a good perfboard layout though, but i re-routed D2 and the other 10M resistor to meet the ground with the 100k resistor so i'd only have to solder 1 ground wire to the board. oh, and then basically combine that with this: http://www.tonepad.com/getFile.asp?id=76 in offboard wiring 5 and you have it in true bypass.

sorry if i just told you a bunch of stuff you already knew, but hey, anyone else who wants to make a SHO get at it!

I'd like to start doing little project builds like that, honestly. I'm pretty hopeless at reading schematics, though. And my stepfather's an electrical engineer, he tried explaining a bunch of it to me in high school, my eyes glazed over. I've soldered some stuff before (like a new antenna wire into my clock radio, busted headphone wires, etc.) but it was generally a pretty sloppy job. Between my need for more stompboxes and my retrogaming hobby which is going to eventually require that I start rewiring consoles, I should just bite the bullet and get the iron and related accoutrements.

e: Also replacing one of the pickups in my tele.

Also this so much.

after a bit of practice you start to get quick with soldering. the other day i had this soldered under a half hour (just the board not the whole pedal):http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/pdf/ggg_p90_pcb.pdf . for schematics, if you don't want to deal with them, there are tons of places that sell kits and pre-made pcbs. it's also easy to find perfboard and veroboard layouts. check out general guitar gadgets, tonepad, smallbear electronics to name a few.

the soldering skills will transfer to guitar electronics too. i got a tele for my birthday and switched the pickups in it, and have an agile coming that i'm swapping the electronics on.
