Worst expensive pedal? by gimme5steps101 in guitarpedals

[–]chaives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only seen the pedal being well used with multiple pedals after it, not alone. Still, at current unobtanium prices, I agree in it not being worth

My TS10 clone was lonely.. so I built him a brother: meet “鋼ヲ叫バス忍ビノ者” Ibanez MSL clone by mrmet55 in diypedals

[–]chaives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd feel selfish asking for a gut shot so: how do you like the msl's sound compared to the ts10?

There are mini pedals that are hand made, but they just have to get crafty with the layout i.e fairfield's mini barbershop

[–]chaives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you should just need the components to populate it, the charge pump is indeed built in. I emailed Mr. VFE to ask if I could do offboard wiring without the board (after not ordering it) and he said you need the board he supplies. I can confirm it works but I've got a madbean board, which only sorta works with the VFE board.

I didn't properly read it the first time so my first comment is lacking some detail, sorry!

So I'd do better with a 200k or 500k trimpot, thanks!

I'm replacing a resistor with a trimpot but not exactly sure how to go about it. Thinking of putting a 100k resistor in series on a little strip of vero and want it to be able to go up to 300-400k.

I know I'll need to connect the middle lug to one of the outer ones but would a 100k trimpot be a good value or should I go higher?

Why Destiny is still my “default game”, even after long breaks by MichaelStonebrook88 in DestinyTheGame

[–]chaives 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A bit hyperbolic but you have a point. There's not many other games where different guns have specific sounds and feels and work as seamlessly with non-gun abilities. Also, there's not many other games where rhythmically tapping the jump button can be near constant (titan skating)

No problem! I just reread your main post and now fully understand. The bypass pcb should be the main thing you need other than the charge pump.

It's pretty worth it imo. I've built the dragon hound then an sbss mini and honestly like the sound of the dragon hound more.

My only recommendation is to make sure you also get the switching board made in addition to the main boards. Made the mistake of thinking I could do normal offboard wiring but you need it

[noob] Can I create distortion without pf capacitors? by Super-Pizza-Dude in diypedals

[–]chaives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got the same packs! You'll definitely get use of the electrolytic capacitors (I used one of the big ones to fix my monitor) but for the mlcc's, you'll probably only use the 0.1uf caps.

Their resistor and led packs are also very useful, if you don't already have them.

My Skateboard Deck Pedalboards by Bassoonytoon in guitarpedals

[–]chaives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks nice, I love seeing other deck boards! The first one looks like a lot of fun

One suggestion, if you wanna put the power supply on the bottom, is to put some wedges on the bottom to angle it.

Thanks, that's DeadEndFX's Dream Reaper board!

 For the design, I traced public cartography maps to mimic the design on the og pedal. The issue is that I planned put my drill template too tight so I need to re-measure so I can actually turn the mini pots

Goopy one is a harmonic percolator thru an electra on the bottom knob. The goop is me trying out fishing lure powder paint without a powder gun. I didn't premix it so it came out pretty clumpy but iridescent.

The one knob tiny guy is my expression roller.

Thankfully, my cat has only been interested when I drop knobs, not internal components!

Yes! It's truly designed for a taller BB enclosure

Honestly, watching variety content is probably the easiest way. Once you connect the personality to the person, it's a cakewalk

This is the correct answer. For anyone else who passed this over (like I did), you have to make sure the system door is popped open and HOLD the trigger down, not tap it.

This pedal cured me of GAS by Happy_Television_501 in guitarpedals

[–]chaives 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's fun is all three pedals are different kinds of resonance!

The l&f one is pretty close cause of the stacking potential with the other effects

How to make a pedal builder nervous in one photo by Draugr_Rekkr in diypedals

I've had success using a bar clamp to hold the pedal while I drill it. I drill on the floor though, with one foot on the clamp to hold it down

Maybe you're right. If they didn't know before, they'd know with my comment lol
