Those washers come standard many pots and switches. The tab can be pointed downwards into a small hole in the enclosure to prevent the switch from rotating out of position. For many use cases though, the extra rotation lock from the tab isn’t needed, so builders will either break the tab off or...

Wow, they really packed it in there! Cool shots, thank you for sharing

That's really nice! Would love to see a gut shot if you have the opportunity to take one 👀

He posted 3 Instagram Stories; the updates aren't "on the grid," as they say

Thanks for sharing this info. I hope Jake, his family, and his budding new workshop are OK. Even if everyone is safe, major damage to the new workshop that he's in the middle of building out would be a tough loss. This storm was a true outlier - my grandmother has lived in Asheville since the...

I recently did a deep dive attempting to understand the application of audio transformers in pedals (and learn enough to cut through the hype / marketing speak surrounding them). In case anyone else wants to go down that rabbit hole, a couple of resources that I found helpful were: This thread...

The stage right bass player makes great music too, as both an artist and producer/engineer! Her main act is Jay Som.

For what it's worth, the fan on my v2 Terror Bass is janky. It fails to turn on until I "jump start" it by gently poking it with a little plastic coffee stir that I keep on hand while using the amp. The issue persisted after I replaced the fan with an aftermarket equivalent, so I've just been...

I like the black, but I'm biased - I went with a tort truss rod cover to match the tort binding on my similarly equipped Sacramento, on Jake's recommendation.

Trying? No way. Buying? Definitely :p

Cool to see Montreal on this list! What stands out to you about Montreal that makes it good for gigging?

I came across this old-ish thread while exploring the same question as the OP's, and I feel compelled to clear up a potential misconception around a confusing topic: all compressors have a side chain. As another commenter noted, the sidechain is effectively a "copy" of the input signal that is...
