Bass Overdrive – build
I recently built the Bass Overdrive from GuitarPCB.com. Here are some pictures and notes following the process. I ordered these last week, and the package was mailed the next day and arrived quickly. Everything was packaged well, and it ben cam with a guitar pick! I have a lot of parts on hand, so I…

ptelectronics: Tonebender Professional MKII. Had a wrench-related accident that caused a huge scratch that I tried to cover up. I figured it wasn’t bad enough or worth the time to redo the whole paint. Added an input limiter knob, “Attack” and “Level” I marked as “Fuzz” and “Volume” without even thinking. I like the style…

Bass Overdrive
This is a bass overdrive built from PCBs from GuitarPCB.com. The boards were professionally made. The layout is good, with pots mounted to the PCB. The LED is also mounted to the PCB. Actually everything goes through the PCB, except for the ground wire from the battery clip. The system seemed to work well and…

SG jr
deebeeus: The Cherry Twins (fraternal). 61 Les Paul Junior / 68 SG Special okay I have a thing for The Who. I love the simplicity of the SG jr! one pick up and wraparound bridge tail piece. For some reason Pete plays a Strat these days, or at least this is what I’ve seen in…

Melvin’s
otherbandsstuff: Melvins 10/14/12 otherbandsstuff: Melvins 10/14/12 otherbandsstuff: Melvins 10/14/12 otherbandsstuff: Melvins 10/14/12 otherbandsstuff: Melvins 10/14/12 I love the Melvin’s. I also love these acrylic guitars with aluminum necks. These effects seem kind pedestrian for the Melvins, except for the MXR blue Box. Then again with the Melvins it’s all about the choice of chords and…

The knobs are african blackwood…

Guitar pickups that promise everything
I just read this quote about a pick up called the Nazgûl. I love the name. I need to install one of these in my +2 Axe! “The Nazgûl was developed for extreme metal players who required a massive and aggressive tone that still maintained plenty of articulation. The Pegasus was developed for prog and…

Ampeg Scrambler
Wired up this ampeg scrambler board I’ve had for a while. I’ve been trying to finish up all of the unfinished projects from the last few years. Fired up first test. I used MPSA13 transistors. I got the PCB from John Lyons on DIYStompboxes. It’s the tone pad layout. The layout is set up for…

Morley volume pedal
I found this Morley Volume pedal at a garage sale for $5. I think it was a good deal. Not as sturdy as the Earnie Ball, it still feels pretty solid. It has a big toggle switch at the toe which turns it off and on. Not sure why you’d want to turn it off…
