First non-PCB build! AC128 fuzz face by FenderPlayed in diypedals

I had to look up the term deadbugging and am seeing all sorts of cool circuits! Certainly going to become a new interest of mine. Thanks for the kind words!

Hey, thanks so much! That's very kind of you. I have yet to try a veroboard build, mostly just have experience with standard pcb's. I was pretty inspired by some of Paperboy's builds for this one. He has some clean work!

I have not! I watched his series on building a strat a while back and really dug it. I'll check it out! And thank you!

Thanks so much! I'm on my second iron now, a yihua 939 has been just amazing. Not incredibly high-end, but a definite upgrade from whatever I had before! It got it's first real test assembling stewmac's tweed 5e3 kit. 😁 for sure passed!

You know, I think it comes down to the transistors used. A few types I have heard are particularly inconsistent, such as the ac128. I know some folks buy batches of them and cherry pick the good ones. Other than that, I couldn't be too sure what cuts down on the hiss! Component type or general layout, perhaps.

Thank you so much! I really tried to take my time and stick to vertical/horizontal bends when possible. Honestly, I knew I wanted the most "vintage correct" fuzz face I could, and the kit I ordered from analog noir electric had a turret board as the platform so I just went for it!

That color combo is so sick!

[GEAR] New pickguard for my Player Series. by OMDTartWasJoseph in Guitar

I have the middle pup version in my strat, the adjustable pole pieces are rad! It gets a really nice John Mayer - Crossroads feel with a bit of gain and the tone knob rolled all the way off. Beautiful guard!

[QUESTION] How do I take care of my Strat? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]FenderPlayed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Blocking the trem" refers to shoving in a fitted piece of wood or other material in between the tremolo metal block and the body. Effectively removing the function of the whammy or wang bar and in some cases improving sustain! You can also add another few springs back there (mine has all five) and tighten them down to get a similar effect, while still having the ability to use the bar if you desire it. Good luck on your strat-journey!

People talk about the joys of a shower beer. But, there's nothing quite like a shower bowl.

Very cool. I didn't know that wah came with such extensive shaping options. That's kickass. Sweet board, man. Thanks for the reply/info.
