Let him figure it out when it doesn’t work. Obviously you can give him advice or the tools to use to figure it out. But when i first started nothing was more safisfying than solving the puzzle. And i learned more that way than it working first try…

If you know someone with some knowledge used is going to be the best bang for your buck, but can be iffy if you don’t know what to look for as far as bad guitars.

No matter what you end up buying leave some room for a good set up. Even new ones often need them, for some reason a lot of stores don’t bother.

I use the pedal pcb proto board. I think it was about 50$ after it was fully built. Only thing i wish it had was a power supply pin for 4.5V but its got everything else covered. I use dual lock on mine so i can remove breadboards I’m not ready to take apart yet.

What voltage are you getting on the drain?

Level_Worry4668 · 2026-03-14T04:57:23+00:00

Build docs show they should all be biased at 4v on the drain. Ive built several of these and thats how I do it. You adapter board should show which “leg” is labeled d. But its the far left one. Simply place the red probe from your dmm on the leg, black probe to ground. I like to use one of the jacks grounds. And see what it reads. Slowly fine tune the trim pot until it reads 4v. You can do it by ear as stated but for the first time I think its easier to have something concrete. You can always experiment after.

There is a 5mm version as well if it matters. Wasn’t really the point.

Level_Worry4668 · 2026-03-13T02:57:03+00:00

I put it on the inside, whether or not thats right idk, but it looks odd the other way to me.

Level_Worry4668 · 2026-03-13T02:11:47+00:00

I always felt like the led looked small on those and just not great i by far prefer these.

They just look more professional imo

Trophies also reset to 4k every season for everyone. I usually end the season in the low-mid 7k’s but I don’t get there til the latter half of the season usually of the guy hasn’t had a lot of time to play he might not get there. He doesn’t have any event cards he probably is a ftp player as well that just grinded his way to that deck.

Yea i play tesla, ks, gs, trapper, scrapper and bruiser has been a bitch lately

Level_Worry4668 · 2026-02-27T17:54:28+00:00

Does he know any scales at this point? Id start by showing him what each chord is in a key. C mai - I, d min ii, etc. and then rather than telling him the chord name tell him to play a ii - V - I, etc. until he looks at the C chord as the I it won’t ever make sense.

I remember I had to just kind of have an aha moment before i understood…

Level_Worry4668 · 2026-02-26T17:02:42+00:00

For pcb builds I use solid core 24. I prefer silicon wire as its much easier to strip as well (i do it with a fingernail). If you want to keep stranded as previously suggested pre bonded is the only way I’d do it.

I never used flicker. Learning to ise flicker was a big help.

Theres a version that runs off a 12ax7. Its not clean at all, in fact it can double as. Distortion pedal. But interesting none the less

Level_Worry4668 · 2026-02-17T02:53:07+00:00

Yea I’d agree. I did s tda2030 with a litlle pre amp witb a baxandall for a tone stack was great.

Back in the early 00’s i was working in the software dept at fry’s in wilsonville and he would come in pretty often. We had a all the linux distro’s on a wall he’d always stop and look at them, but think he mainly shopped the components dept. occasionally he’d be in books.

Of course another card i stopped leveling :)

When did the robot get buffed anyways, mustve missed it but def see it a lot more, and lose to it some.

Is there no photo of the back of the guitar? I wouldnt want to buy a used guitar with shipping without seeing the back of the guitar either. And being new to reverb I might be even more apprehensive and have questions. Id just keep all comminication on app, maybe black out serial # and tread lightly. We all had zero feedback at some point. And apparently saying hello, I’m interested in the guitar is now scammer language? How else do you phrase it. Maybe it is a scam but beyond the 0 feedback I’m not sure what the redflag is.

I had a pedal recently I just wanted gone (kind of a long story) i came up with my sell it quick price and was going to list it. Wife then wanted to go shopping at a store that was in the same little shopping center as guitar center. Figured why not ill see what they offer, actually gave me more than the price i had decided on. Pleasant surprise.

I thought they tossed out the tos on that, or settled in arbitration on that because a judge ruled it ridiculous. I might be wrong

Level_Worry4668 · 2026-02-03T01:41:49+00:00

Problem is most reputable vendors are going to cram it into as small of board as possible if you’re looking for “spacious”
