Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

I’m still reading up on the circuit, but I’m thinking probably caps for low end retention and switchable diodes. I have a DOD Boneshaker which I’ve read is 250 based or at least has some DNA, so I’m gonna revisit that, too. Strong possibility I may build a couple more for my bro and lil’ homie.

@ruthro diodes would be sick. S/D thread mojo!

sounds good, i'll get a PM going to grab your addy and stuff.

I'm getting tooled up to do some filter preamp builds here in the near future, so there might be some cool stuff coming. I have to dig through all my crap sort through all my hardware and builds and other stuff, I have a few aborted builds and other boards I can rescue from other projects I think, but I don't really remember what I have/where it is. Depression has been a killer for me the past few years, it sucks and put a ton of my stuff on hold, so i'm slowly getting back to it...

I'll dig through my stuff to see what I have, where it is, etc and get some parts together for ya.

Boneshaker is awesome. Highly underrated. I've thought of picking one up again if I find a deal.

VIDEO SYNTH!?! So flipping rad! I have an acquaintance who is deep in that word (runs workshops, gallery shows, VJ’s events, video drone festivals). Those old TV’s are where it’s at!

I’ve been ogling the Critter and Guitarri video synths for years. I know they are for light-weights and posers, but I don’t have the time or money for the real deal.

Homemade psuedo oscilloscope made from a TV. Pretty easy to do, but one of those things you need to read a little bit about first. Life-ending voltages on the flyback transformer and such.

Hehehe, not to mention the hefty capacitor a CRT is. I was not happy when I thought the tube in my oscilloscope had died. I wasn't looking forward to hoping I had discharged it correctly before removing it. Fortunately, I was an idiot and had just turned the intensity down all the way. :whistle:

But I had to look up what @thombo was talking about when he said "VIDEO SYNTH!?!" Now I have another hole to spend all of my time in. Plus, I found out how they animated the text in front of the Ooompa Loompas in the 70's Willy Wonka movie.

Not the most entertaining thing in the world, but I enjoyed it.



Hehehe, a more entertaining analog video synth video:
