just trying to figure out if it's a good deal or not. sure would be handy. the electronics stores here really really suck.

    the SPDT's are worthless but other than that that's a good deal. I think.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    actually, they aren't. you can use them to do cap or resistor switching in a pedal. they're toggles, not stomps.

    Oh, I didn't see that, then by all means... probably has all the stuff you'd need for the DS-1

    scanning through small bear's price list, it's a good deal. i'm going to go for it. i really could have fun with this.

    i can prototype a fuzzface now once i get some germaniums.

    It's a little early for Germaniums now. If you plant the seeds now, you can put them out in the late spring in a sunny location. They are pretty pink flowers though!

    one down. one to go.

    ah, i got both batches of parts. fun fun.

    time to build some pedals.

    sweet. should be fun.

    once i get the stuff and take stock of what exactly, i've got, i'll pick out some projects.

    i want to clone my class A boost
    i want to build an LPB-1, a fuzzface and maybe a distortion+ for fun.

    and i want to mod my big muff and the DS-1. maybe the small stone.

    not a bad deal for a variety of parts. the dual breadboards mounted on the piece of metal will be handy.

    yup. i really wanted the breadboards. i'll still have to buy a few things i'm sure but this will be a good start.

    is that class A boost fairly simple?

    good circuits to start with though. i've built up a ff and dist+ before. its fun to breadboard and change out components to see what happens.

    the class A boost is very simple. 2 caps, 2 transistors, a diode, 5 resistors and a pot. and some of that is for the LED indication. it's a variation of the LPB-1 i think.

    wow, really simple. i found an LPB-1 schematic. its just a commom emitter amplifier. doesn't get much easier.

    what transistor types are they? 2N5088?

    not sure. i'd have to look tonight. the LPB-1 is.

    i'm still going to have to order the odd thing from small bear but that's ok. i can get switches, boxes and LEDs and stuff locally at least.

    he's going fulltime on SBE now too so it should be even better.

    oooo ooo oo.

    i'm talking to myself but i'm going to build an mxr blue box.

    Love the blue box. I hear it so much more now. That first solo in Ghost sounds like it, that fuzzy octave down. Then lots of Zepplin tunes etc. It's cool.

    i've decided to build a blue box and a fuzz face with bias control first. then go from there.
  • exhaustedexhausted Posts: 6,638
    well, i decided the first thing i'm going to build is a distortion+ clone since these grab bags i bought have most of the stuff (the IC and the pots etc.) that i would need. i'm going to experiment with different components so in the end, it probably won't sound like a d+.

    i made the box tonight. ugly, but it'll do.

    cool I think it looks.

    pretty it is.

    Very cool

    I'm never going to a music store again! Can I just keep buying stuff from you guys?

    GCP and Shannon pedals.

    Although will you be CBP? Cheery Budgie Pedals?
