And good, if I continue to use the headstock tuner - and I think it's a decent one - that's yet more space on a pedalboard.
LBS...fyi...Dude has a PhD. in physics.
Based on his contributions to TB, he can figure out anything he wants to. Seems his side business is doing fine!

Good to know, although I will tell you, having worked in medical research with many PhDs and MDs, there are many of both who cannot operate their desktop computers, much less avoid opening a phishing link, no matter how often you describe that "happy birthday" or "you have a greeting card" come on to them. Specialized skills are special. They don't always translate well to the everyday stuffLBS...fyi...Dude has a PhD. in physics.
Certainly have seen that as well. Francis seems to not be in the "many" group!

He is, I believe, an experimentalist (as opposed to a theorist) and works in the electronic diagnostics biz. It's been my experience (as an industrial physicist) that most experimentalists are by-and-large very practical. [And, FWIW, I would not describe MDs as scientists (at least most of them).]

A little easier said for some peoples...
Go Charles!
Heh. It's a bit hard to believe I built my first successful one over five years ago. Doing an update on that build is something I hope to get to later this year, as I still do prefer rack mounted gear for actual gigs, should any arise.
As far as HPFs, I've often had one in my rigs all the way back to 1989. All the commercial bass amps without one that I've owned are long gone and I don't miss any of them a bit.
He sounds like an interesting guy. I'll check it out. And I agree with you about MDs. They were the directors and principal investigators but the PhDs were generally the methodologists. Some of the MDs I worked with were, however, quite brilliant at both.
And a pretty good bass player!

That’s a quote from Jaco.

There’s an expression “temporary permanent”.
Things that you build often wind up in service and not updated as intended. The moral of the story is build it as good as you can get away with, even if it’s a prototype.
The way I put it is "you don't go back". Rarely, if ever, especially with stuff around the house. Especially learned after I emptied my 4bd,3bth house with an 800sf garage. Too much stuff, too little time.

Absolutely, and the amp as-is does work very well. But in this case I did significant board revisions for the next three similar builds and I have a spare set in the latest spec that will screw right in on the same mounting centers. I even have all but a few parts already stockpiled. But all of that was also true at least a year ago, so...

Sounds like projects that appear worthwhile, yet don't hold a corresponding urgency to make it worthwhile right now. (I may have some passing acquaintance with similar projects.)
