Nice! I think there can't be much wrong with a G&L and must say, the Tobias looks spectaculair. The Warwicks are, as far as I know, known for their warped necks (heard about that before). Me, I'm very happy with my Fame Baphomet IV fretless from 2007. MEC actives, (probably) ebony fingerboard...

Was wondering: did you get the Fame or the Warwick?

@postalflunkie, very nice build! Love the way you made the enclosure. Grtz, Bert

Yeah, me the same! Ordered 2 version 2.0 more, waiting for the delivery.

Why would you integrate the 2.1 with the 2.0? If you're looking for a way to power the 2.1, just order the power PCB from Mark (https://frogpedals.com/index.php/product/frog-smps-high-voltage-power-supply/).

Thanks for your compliment! Yes, the heat sinks are a bit over sized. They were made from an old computer heat sink. In my next builds I will reduce them to prevent flying away ;-) Grtz, Bert

Oh, I see! On the 2.1 there is no high voltage pump and no clipping section. The 2.0 version does have these features plus a high cut and a bright switch option. The 2.1 version: The 2.0 version:

Oh, it will give you plenty of tube distortion! Explain about the missing clipping diodes? On the PCB there is space for 2x 2 clipping diodes and a switch connection.

Hahaha, indeed it doesn't. But no worries, just let me explain. The FrogPedal PCB is 9V powered and is equipped with its own power section, consisting of a high voltage pump (185VDC) to feed the vacuum tube and a 6VDC for the heater. I decided to put in a 9V power supply as visible on the photo...

I asked Mark Price from FrogPedals why there is an extra volume pot on his ruggedized version, which was not in the documentation and he sent me a sketch of his added potmeter. The input potmeter came in because at first I was planning to give the FrogPedal an extra input boost by putting an...

I'm using it as a pre-amp. Just bypassing the Peavey's pre-amp and feeding it straight into the power section of the TNT 150. The transformer? You mean the little power supply, I guess. It a standard 110/220V power supply with a 9V output. This way I can feed 110/220V in from any power socket.

Nice! I’ve been building one myself. have a look at the pictures Grtz, Bert (the Netherlands)
