All discussion related to the Hobby Builder Bazaar goes on THIS thread, where anyone can post and we can post more than once, right? |

I will say, it is a grey area in the CUP for which the sticky is making room for, but yes... the rules must be followed.

This is an experiment to try and accommodate the small hobbyist builder, where they couldn't discuss their wares before.
As grygrx says, this program is on a trial basis and repeated abuse will result in it's termination. |

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's projects. A friend of mine is graduating as an electrical engineer and expressed interest in building a couple pedals, so I've been brainstorming trying to come up with a good project for us to build (something I can't go to the store and buy, and something I want to use!), so I may have something to contribute in the near future myself (after I delete this post of course).
What is this 'CUP' you speak of? I looked around the site and couldn't find any other references to it. |

It's basically to stop big manufacturers signing up and plugging their products.

Now what can you do about cleaning up the front page of "HOW DO I GET MUSE TONE?!!!11" threads?  |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: NNJ/NYC | | Just coming up for air. Been working on this li'l monster for a bit. 
It's a Muff based fuzz w/selectable socketed diodes (including a diode bypass in the 1st clipping stage ala Supa Tonebender) and socketed trannies, and trimpots for biasing resistors. I still gotta wire up all the pots, jacks, and switches. It's been nothing short of a schizophrenic nightmare so far. It's got trimpots for tonestack resistors and dual hi-pass and low-pass caps for inverting values in the tonestack w/a dual concentric knob (think dual mids knob ala Supercollider) as well as a depth knob (ala Supercollider), a gate mod, and a stompswitch bypass for the final transistor stage (ala Jumbo Tonebender). I also switched out the coupling resistor in the clipping stages w/a dual ganged 10K pot to put as much of an edge and note definition on the fuzz as I want/need given any situation.
I loaded it to the gills w/Mullard Tropical fish for coupling/diode caps, Mustard caps for the tonestack, and a combination of Sprague axial tantalums and a Mustard cap for the input/output caps.
Like I said, I've still got 7 pots to wire up (including 1 dual ganged and 1 dual concentric pot) plus the jacks, switches, and power supply... but for now I think I need some Excedrin and some therapy. |
