And also you (meMe: "Alright, February builds are almost done, and there just a couple more repairs to finish up, then we can devote time to fine-tuning the handwired designs and working on Gondwana."
Also me: "I'm pretty sure I could make a tube-driven USB recording interface. That would be cool."
One of the big things stopping Greenhouse now (I always need excusesAnd also you (me): and there's this Greenhouse too...
I see, thanks for the explanations! I'll be waiting patientlyOne of the big things stopping Greenhouse now (I always need excuses) is the apparent shortage of 1/4" jacks. When I ran out at the beginning of this month I was able to find enough of the stereo version to cover the February batch, but now everyone is out of both the mono version and the stereo version. May be a bit before I can find 4 spare jacks to wire up the Greenhouse proto, so I may as well go ahead with the redesign my brain wanted to do a few months ago and start over on it
The jack in question is the Lumberg KLBM3 (mono) or KLB3 (stereo) in case anyone has better connections than me and can shout at me.

I had to crank mine to get bass, the gain will yield moreView attachment 4598551
Got my fluffy kitten today.
Haven’t gotten to play with it too much yet, but I think it has some good tones.
Am I doing something wrong or does it cut massive amounts of bass at low bite settings?
Ps I’ve been stalking this thread since I emailed you to see if there were any decade updates. I haven’t seen any. Did you get your prototype board?
Yup as labeledbass said it's normal. It's on the thinner side of stuff for bass, I'm experimenting with a mod for more lows.View attachment 4598551

One of these days I need to stop ordering new circuit boards and actually build new things.

What is vampire slayer again?
Yup, exactly thatFrom the website:
"Vampire Slayer is a no-frills all-tube buffer. It runs a single 12AU7 tube and offers a high input impedance, low output impedance, and wide frequency response. It does an excellent job of adding some extra tube warmth after any solid-state effect, or in the FX loop of a solid state amplifier to get some post-preamp tube warmth before you hit the power amp."
