A favorite of mine! I also have plans for a Jeremy Hillary Boob (Nowhere Man) themed pedal in the distant future (preoccupied with other designs I'm working on, as well as a heavy course load this semester)

Just figured out the art direction I want to take. If I wanted to draw on the pedals or have drawings put on the pedals...any recommendations? Just draw freehand w certain markers or some sort of scan and print w a sealer?
i have used crystal clear adhesive vinyl and a cricut with good success. The cricut markers work pretty well on the vinyl but you need to be sure to get printable vinyl. With the Cricut markers I didnt need any clear coat but when I used the same vinyl in a inkjet printer it needed clear and the clear coat made the clear vinyl a little cloudy. It could be the clearcoat i used. Thats ok over light background colors but not so good on dark backgrounds. I also tried it with sharpie on the vinyl and it worked good but as soon as I put clearcaot to it it made the sharpie look horrible. It turned red sharpie orange.
Another passive pickup simulator by Jack Orman. 1590a
I don't use kits for my pedals. I created talkbass-projects.
The 800RB is the preamp of the Gallien-Krueger 800RB. I used the factory schematics for the pcb.
The 800Rail is a talkbass-project.
No, no kit.
I used the schematics from Orman’s page.
Guitar Pickups Simulation
The first one I built is at the bottom, the second is from the top. I can walk you through it if you want, PM me. It’s really simple, no power, no led, no switch.

This was one of those "I'll never use this, but must have it" bizarre effects. At fast rate settings it makes a unique ring mod effect with up and down octaves.
Hand wired a 2P4T rotary switch in place of the 3P4T switch built for the pcb. Paint job is plain grey with a tuner peg bolted on. Tuner was broken off of my first bass when it was knocked off it's stand 20 years ago. I've been holding onto that trinket for so long knowing it could come in useful one day.

Don’t know if this is the best place to ask but anyone that can make/sell a simple passive one knob volume mini pedal?
I am interested in buying one

Saturnworks makes one, along with just about every utility pedals possible.
I use one of theirs in the effects loop of my guitar amp.
Agreed...saturnworks is probably your best bet from a well known utility builder. You can probably save some dollars if you search reverb and find another similar builder to make one for you, but I can verify that Saturn works stuff is top notch quality.
