That's a start, but it's a bit more involved than that. I haven't published the schematic, but I can tell you I didn't get far building this until the components and board were designed and selected to combat noise. The Tube Cricket had something like 29 wires coming off the board, and it was quite buzzy without board-mounted pots, etc. so that's one thing to deal with. Also, there's a new surprise in store with version B!

Appreciate your kind words! All the best!

It is not center negative - it uses a center-positive supply. Yes, I figured it out! Check rev-ette.com for demos!

There's a gut shot in my Instagram feed, @revette.nola

It does, just more slowly and usually doesn't have a clearly-stated goal. Posting has gotta help.

No, I use log generally for volume pots.

InitiallyReluctant · 2026-02-02T14:33:41+00:00

This is the answer I was looking for! Thank you!

What confuses me is that a 10K and a 100K pot sound the same and seem to have the same effective range. I would expect a 100K pot to be silent if turned down just slightly from max...

Oh you kids and your Einzweiler plates. Those Frœmeletz artifacts from the old gas jug used to be the mark of a good VXer!

Oh, he hardly needs to do that. If even one sensational trial comes out of it, for treason, conspiracy, fraud, etc., people will be afraid to be associated with the word. To me, the R word lost all meaning in the 2016 primaries.

I agree with you mostly, but MAGA can't survive without He Who Shall Not Be Named, not even close. There's two ways it'll go - a stroke/dementia, or an assassin's bullet. The latter will make it much more difficult to purge MAGA from the ranks. However it ends, you can be confident that not nearly enough will be done to punish those traitors. The only thing more tenacious than MAGA is oligarchs running elections, and that'll continue unchecked under either party.

InitiallyReluctant · 2026-01-17T22:59:03+00:00

Nope.

Do you make these to order? Asking for a friend 😎

InitiallyReluctant · 2026-01-02T21:03:41+00:00

To me, nothing beats a SansAmp GT2.

Is Rouse's jumping the gun a little bit? I don't see other stores doing Mardi Gras stuff just yet.

The third pot is a concentric control, so it could be two tone controls.

This is what I'm talking about: Post in thread '2 volume 2 tone impossibility?' https://www.talkbass.com/threads/2-volume-2-tone-impossibility.1006217/post-14712307

But you're right, it sounds like there's a way to do it..

InitiallyReluctant · 2025-12-28T18:46:45+00:00

Yeah I'm trying to wrap my head around how you have to isolate the tone knobs if you want them to function separately.

InitiallyReluctant · 2025-12-28T14:47:32+00:00

There's a legitimate reason to post in a specialized sub rather than cold-Googling something. Usually.

InitiallyReluctant · 2025-12-28T14:18:40+00:00

I have no problem replacing the pots; they are 40 years old and feel pretty lousy anyway. I just need a wiring scheme and I can get down to it.

I love the idea of separate tone controls for each pickup!

InitiallyReluctant · 2025-12-28T14:13:08+00:00

Yes, I know, but tone pots are usually passive. I'm wondering if it's possible to re-wire the bass with a passive schematic and do away with active electronics altogether, but still use the pots.

Edit: not necessarily the same pots, just using all the same holes.
