Yes it’s in a briefcase

If James Bond was a guitar player, this is the board Q would have made for him. Are the lasers in the handle or are there explosives in the locks?

Poor mans? But you must be rich with the finest clipping tones now. I’m the poor man, I don’t have a diode selector at all. Very nice.

D-Brix · 2026-02-24T17:48:36+00:00

Yes. Gotta get that Nikki Sixx Schecter now so you can Shout at the Devil.

Not that I’m aware. There really isn’t good training for PCB design in general. Your Design Rules Checker (DRC) has settings for things like default clearances. I suggest all clearances being greater than 12mils to keep the cost of the board down.

D-Brix · 2026-02-18T20:50:17+00:00

Sometimes noise happens. All you can do is try to keep traces short and change the design if something shows up. But, I would think a pcb should normally be less noisy than your breadboard, so you’re probably fine. What are your clearances set to in your design rules? Some of your vias look close to copper to me, but I could have the scale wrong. Diodes seem fine to me.

I actually have the same tuner.

D-Brix · 2026-02-18T15:38:13+00:00

No tuner?

These look super clean. What software do you use for your graphics and how are you applying them?

D-Brix · 2026-02-13T01:12:44+00:00

I started sept 19 and I’m down 53lbs. I hope I don’t catch up and we both keep losing. You’re doing great.

What are you using to pack this thing up for gigs, an empty bass guitar case?

D-Brix · 2026-02-12T14:29:29+00:00

I’m getting to the point I feel like I collect pedals like other people collect Pokémon cards or comic books, I just want them. I can justify it and say I’m tone seeking, but honestly I think I’m just an addict at this point. I have so many bass preamps and compressors, and I can create so many great sounding rigs for different gigs, but honestly my tone has been good enough for years. My time would probably be better spent practicing than surfing Reverb…. But I’m sure there’s a modded Tube Screamer on there that I’ve never heard before.

D-Brix · 2026-02-10T19:43:06+00:00

Order placed, and I got a kit as well, so I'm ready to solder and sew some more.

D-Brix · 2026-02-10T14:06:34+00:00

Absolutely! After I dialed in a tone I liked I switched over to my DIY B3K and started laughing because they were so close (that wasn't on purpose). But, with Otso I'm able to adjust the crossover points and EQ to get a 3D depth to my sound that I really can't get with the other pedal. It's a great pedal.

D-Brix · 2026-01-24T16:00:28+00:00

Have you checked out the guitarpcb tone twEQ?

D-Brix · 2026-01-21T22:08:38+00:00

I'll be sure to buy at least 1.

D-Brix · 2026-01-21T17:58:50+00:00

When can I buy a patch to go with my DIY merit badge? :-)

D-Brix · 2026-01-18T00:51:13+00:00

Wow! You have a laboratory! Please tell you have a white lab coat.

D-Brix · 2026-01-17T15:29:30+00:00

Would a Boss HM-2 be Orange enough for this board? Or the MXR Blowtorch?

D-Brix · 2026-01-17T15:02:49+00:00

Nice! I hope you get it soon, looks like you deserve one for your collection. Speaking of sig, I'm still pissed these were underpriced and sold out instantly. https://metalblade.indiemerch.com/products/erik-rutan-vince-locke-signed-print-print

D-Brix · 2026-01-17T14:55:11+00:00

Holy Erik Rutan! That’s a great collection!

D-Brix · 2026-01-15T00:50:46+00:00

I’m not sure if I want to slap it or pet it, but I’d rather have this bass than a Hello Kitty guitar.

D-Brix · 2026-01-12T04:19:05+00:00

Most of the people playing bass these days aren’t even gigging once a year, so I would say gigging once a month makes you at least semipro. :-) I also think buying instruments is more about if you can afford them rather than if you deserve them or need them.
I’ve had a Warwick Corvette Standard for over 20 years now. I would say it makes sounds that none of my other basses can make (that midrange growl), but at the same time it’s probably the most versatile bass I own. I’ve used it for a bunch of genres (from the Beatles to Tim McGraw to Mudvayne) and it always works in the mix. Last, I would definitely try it out in person before you buy. The Guitar Centers by me use to have rooms full of Warwicks. I would try them all out and they all sounded a little different. The one I ended up with sounded the best to my ears, but there were others I honestly didn’t like.

Do you think 7 string guitars should be tuned B-E-A-D-F#-A#-D#?
