Most of the joyo stuff is great. They make a great rat clone. I'm guessing it's not a real analogue delay though. It probably uses a PT2399 to emulate a bucket brigade. They sound really good though! https://www.freestompboxes.org/viewtopic.php?t=17484 Looks like it is a cd 2399 Armacham fucked around with this message at 03:05 on Apr 17, 2023 |

Something like a compressor, EQ, or clean boost might benefit from the increased headroom l, but if you have clipping stages it doesn't really matter.

Southern Cassowary posted:oh i meant more like just ripping off the preamp section of a given amp, i know there's lots of amp-in-a-box pedals but i assume they're just drive pedals voiced to sound certain ways Yep a ton of drive pedals are literally just the preamp stage of an amp in a stomp box. You can pretty much just replace a tube with a JFET in a given design. Here's an example of a fender preamp : https://www.runoffgroove.com/fetzervalve.html

Relevant to the preamp talk, here are a couple of Aclam Dr Robert clones that I'm working on, which is basically a pedal version of the Vox UL730. That was a solid state preamp, with a tube power section.

luchadornado posted:I'm surprised someone went to the effort of diagramming/printing that but it's cool that it won't die with Aclam. I have a Dr Robert and it definitely nails the 1967 Beatles tone, but unless you're playing those exact songs it can be a difficult pedal to use. It's not really a great tone on its own (IMO), it's a great tone because it was used on legendary albums, if that makes any sense. My dad is a huge Beatles guy from back in the day, so he should get a lot of use out of it. And I might as well make one for myself if I'm making one for him too! I'm just about finished with the enclosures. I'm going with a Blue Meanie theme.

No worries! Yeah I think at $300+ I would have a tough time justifying it, but building two of my own only cost about $100 and a few hours of my time. If you ever do wanna sell it and buy a clone, hit me up and I'll build you one for cost of parts and shipping lol

Southern Cassowary posted:i think if i chanced a gibson i'd try the 61 sgs due to weight and whatever it is about sgs making them sound a little brighter (the pickup position, maybe?), but i'd be way more inclined to give another s2 or like a tokai a shot before that Yeah the neck pickup on the SG is closer to the bridge pickup than on an LP. The double cutaway and thinner body might have some effect as well.

TheKub posted:I bought some rechargeable 9v batteries to power my active pickups, but when I install them I am getting a high pitch electronic noise. I assume the kind I bought are not suitable for this task, the usb plugs directly into the battery for recharge so there must be electronics onboard. Is there a time-tested rechargeable 9v that is good for the job? Could also be the lower voltage. Rechargeable 9v really only put out like 8.4v

It looks like it's through Brook Mays using Amazon as a storefront. Brook Mays is a legit music store in Texas. You may want to look on their website to see if you can order directly through them.

Spanish Manlove posted:I'm the same way, I absolutely can not play a guitar with tacky strings. I wash my hands before I sit down to play and I wipe my strings down with some cheap flanel cloth you can get 3x3ft for $3 at walmart or any craft store Yeah the fast fret is awesome. It's mostly lanolin from sheep's wool iirc. Definitely smells like it.

John Lennon's earlier band the Quarrymen was typically advertised on bills as performing "Skiffle, Country/Western, and rock" so you are not wrong about the folk music thing.

duodenum posted:The volume knob is definitely in the wrong place, and even Yngwie has to drop the far side of that middle pickup to keep it out of the way of the picking. Truly a cursed design. I think I'll probably take out one of the tone knobs and slide everything down to just have a single volume and tone knobs. I'll put a googly eye over the empty volume knob hole or something.

I need a few things for an electronics project and don't want to order them online You'll have to find a local hobby shop of some kind. There is one in my town, but it's still cheaper to order online for literally any amount because they mark up everything so much.
