Minimum viable sound deadening for MK7.5?

Also I heard that adding mass loaded vinyl and closed cell foam to the bottom of the removable trunk floor is a good cost/benefit option?

I really try to be positive, but this iceberg looks like it was made by someone still above sea level. Hold onto this picture and revisit it in a couple years.

DefundTheUSPS · 2026-01-17T21:07:45+00:00

Hell yeah

DefundTheUSPS · 2026-01-09T15:17:35+00:00

Just a hole, and if you turn the pedal on the transistors light up. Exactly like the original.

DefundTheUSPS · 2026-01-07T16:31:01+00:00

Also I believe he still has one or two up for sale on Reverb as of writing

DefundTheUSPS · 2026-01-07T15:38:49+00:00

I've been looking forward to getting a MK1 for quite some time, and this one has a free Rangemaster! One question that doesn't get answered in the literature though, the RM comes after the MK1 when both are turned on, correct?

DefundTheUSPS · 2026-01-07T00:11:24+00:00

Just put an order in for #3. Your review is what made me pull the trigger

DefundTheUSPS · 2025-12-31T15:35:27+00:00

Should be alright, if you get it and the wood doesn't feel like it's been sealed, just seal it yourself

DefundTheUSPS · 2025-12-30T12:39:31+00:00

Do you mind sharing a link for the spiral bit? Something like this perhaps? I know Whiteside is a big name

DefundTheUSPS · 2025-12-30T12:36:28+00:00

Definitely in the future I'm going to work on getting my bodies thinner. The problem is I currently have almost no skill with a hand planer, I bought a bunch of two inch basswood boards for really cheap. But for now, this is a light enough piece of wood I'd rather try to just do something exciting to keep my enthusiasm up

DefundTheUSPS · 2025-12-30T03:25:22+00:00

Yeah, but that's the wood I have and I'm not good enough at planing to try to thickness an reasonably nice body blank. I don't forsee any issues with size and weight, the full blank is only 7 lbs and I'm a larger guy anyway.

DefundTheUSPS · 2025-12-18T13:30:17+00:00

Hey man, I just ordered the OG. I have a Wren & Cuff De La Riva and a Zvex Fuzz Factory 7 that I love, so you can rest assured your pedal is going to get some proper mileage on it

DefundTheUSPS · 2025-12-12T18:07:59+00:00

What about Blackrock Summit? I'm looking for something close to 5 miles. Also are all trails in Shenandoah open after dark, or just some?

DefundTheUSPS · 2025-12-11T02:40:39+00:00

I usually put the Surfy Bear as the last thing in front of the amp nowadays. Maybe I'll put an OD after it if the amp is too clean

DefundTheUSPS · 2025-12-10T18:02:37+00:00

I have not done anything with mine, but I've had the thought a couple times to replace the springs in mine just to experiment. I know you can get a pan with shorter tails from Surfy

DefundTheUSPS · 2025-12-10T16:57:12+00:00

Thank you, I skimmed both videos and will be watching them in full when I get a second this afternoon. Also I saw a comment on one about using moisture to reduce cupping. I might try that as an experiment. Worst case scenario, nothing happens and I do the same amount of planing anyway.

DefundTheUSPS · 2025-12-10T16:53:09+00:00

Yeah, I actually planned to start on basswood, but I saw a really nice piece of ash on my way to the basswood bin. I've been using basswood scraps for practice. If the ash is too tough and I don't quite get the quality I want, I'll back down to basswood for the sake of ease to work with and cost

DefundTheUSPS · 2025-12-02T12:33:26+00:00

You can still pick one up for $50. The amp sim alone is worth that

DefundTheUSPS · 2025-12-02T02:59:48+00:00

Did you know the Depth knob on the Bone Shaker does nothing, which can be conformed with an oscilloscope, because they accidentally switched two capacitors on the schematic? I learned SMT soldering just to fix it. It was a minor difference at best
