My birthday present to myself: Thing's a loving tank. It's only about the size of a normal Boss pedal plus about an extra inch of width but I swear it weighs 2-3 pounds.

a fun thing nobody knows about those pedals is the opamps are socketed so you can switch them out

All the parts on it are beefy as hell -- the knobs are solid metal and the footswitch is so stiff I actually thought it was broken when I first got it, since it took so much more effort than any other stompbox I'd ever used. I thought there'd be trim pots in it but I guess that's just the FatMetal.

The last thing I need is a new project but I have no self control when cheapish stuff pops up on craigslist. ~1980 Fender Lead II. I think it was originally black and had the finish stripped, the pickguard cut down and some weirdo humbucker put in the bridge position.  Its more like two single coils put right next to each other, the seller said he couldn't figure out who made it. No idea if the electronics work, I plan on getting a stock pickguard and something single coil shaped for the bridge, the neck pickup looks stock and if it still works I'll keep it. I plan on cleaning up the neck and refinishing the body. It was sanded down to what seems to be a Fullerplast sealer which will not be easy to remove, so I'll just try to fix the damaged areas and spray a dark transparent mocha/walnut finish on top of that.

The Muppets On PCP posted:a fun thing nobody knows about those pedals is the opamps are socketed so you can switch them out Yep but I wouldn't get my hopes up that it sounds much different. I think you would notice the differences in tolerance between the different chips more than the actual model of chip. That said, it is something that anyone can do and is a fun way of dipping your toe into pedal modding.

Got a Pedaltrain Classic Jr so I could finally organize pedals and get them off the floor: (I still have to clean up all the wires and poo poo with some zipties.)

I've just ordered a Classic JR but I have a few mini pedals and considering a switcher, and I feel like the Novo 18 might have been a better fit. The shop didn't have either in stock though so I ended up trying to work it all out using what they did have, and there's a nagging feeling I got it wrong.

As you can see, that loving Zvex pedal is loving EVERYTHING up on my drat board.  Why doesn't every pedal have output/input on top?!

betterinsodapop posted:I didn't. But, it does seem pretty nice. Is it a little bigger, or just a different shape? I think it might be slightly bigger but it's hard to tell from what I found online. It's 5 rails but the lower 4 have 1" spacing between them instead of 1.5" on the Classic. My thinking is that if things fit right then you get less dead space. Is the Zvex chained to both of the pedals next to it? It might fit better with direct connectors like these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rayzm-Connector-Coupler-Pedalboard-Straight/dp/B07116Q2N4

 Buncha crap from the guitar center dumpster. The busted acoustic with the sawed off headstock is a Martin. The banjo is mostly complete. Off to the side a bit is the back and sides from a Taylor 614e I'll go through the box more tomorrow. I just hate seeing this stuff wasted.

Another day, another pawn shop buy of something stupid DOD FX69(nice) Grunge pedal. Early Made in USA version, with BUTT and FACE markings. Missing the battery door and the battery wires are taped together, but it works. Well, it makes noise, whether it's the noise it's supposed to make is questionable. Oddly enough, not unusable sounds

Does the switch work? Usually that vintage of DOD pedal the battery door is long gone and the switch stopped working in the 90's.

Kilometers Davis posted:I love this. Super simple but not boring at all. How does it feel and play? It feels and plays great in my large hands. Feels super solid and has a nice glossy neck that is just right to me. It plays well in standard tuning and seems to play just as well in drop c# tuning. I’m pretty happy with it so far and I think it’s a keeper. I thought about sanding it down and staining with a dark stain that would still show the wood grain but I’ll probably just keep it as is.

Gretsch jet jr. Short scale bass plus one very good boy sitting next to it. Retails for 300 new in the US, I paid 450 because I'm living in a country with high import taxes. This is my first bass and I absolutely love it. This is a lovely low res picture but my dog is in it so Hellblazer187 fucked around with this message at 23:26 on Sep 8, 2018 |

 Excuse the lovely pic but I got this 1980s Korg SDD-2000 delay for relatively cheap on eBay. Can’t use it on everything but it’s got its particular sound, and the main thing is it looks cool!

 For some reason I was thinking about Toneloks last night so when I saw this in a thrift shop this afternoon I had to snap it up. I had one many moons ago but sold it as ignorant teenage me did not at that point understand the different useage cases of OD and distortion.

rickiep00h posted:The stompbox version that The Edge managed to get Korg to produce for a while a few years back is a neat box, too, and a lot more flexible. Yeah the model up from the one I bought is the 3000 which is the famous Edge one as it has the preamp which people like, except they’re like £1200 as opposed to the £150 I paid - I’ve already got nice preamps so I don’t care too much about having the model down! The stompbox version is very cool but I’m a sucker for vintage gear and filling up my rack. I’ve got a lot of decent plugin delays and access to a space echo so I bought the Korg sdd for looking cool and fun value more than anything!
