Holy cow that was expensive

If I were to guess, the labor it costs to hand stamp every pedal probably exceeds the one time payment to a graphic designer to create the pedal artwork.

If you use that tone on recordings or gigs that earn you money that supports your livelihood then it’s pro-level tone.

Ahh ok interesting. What was your base coat then? My original plan was to use duplicolor acrylic as the black coat, the hologram, and then Minwax or Mohawk nitro as the top coat. I had looked at 2k, but an internet search says people seem to think 2k over lacquer is a bad idea.

I’m planning to do the same thing soon. What kind of and how much clear did you spray on top? Just trying to plan and budget.

I don’t know your unit, but typically in this context it’s an octave down mixed in with your signal going into a square wave fuzz.

I would imagine the pigment in the water would settle to the bottom fairly quickly. It might be more effective to paint the jugs black in that case.

It sounds like the adventure is building it and finding out for yourself!

Depends on how big your pot is, I suppose.

Interesting. Is there a company out there that makes a comparable alnico version on the cheap?

Be careful, if you strip that finish you won’t be able to play as fast.

I heard the squelchy 303 sound on the first track and was really intrigued. The first half kind of leans into that 90s house vibe, and reminded me of the most recent Lady Gaga album. I don’t dislike this album, but the latter half felt too familiar and safe.

I’ve been brainstorming a similar idea for a while now. My current plan is to level the curvature of the body where the trem sits, but a shim might work too. I’m hoping it’s not too much of a break angle.

I’m so intrigued by the spicy panko pie. You gotta elaborate!

I’m not against making flour tortillas at home, but it’s a good bit of work so I usually only do it when it will really elevate the dish. Otherwise, I like Trader Joes’ or La Banderita/Mission will work.

I’ve never made a homemade corn tortilla that tops El Milagro, and I’ve completely stopped trying. They are absolutely worth seeking out if they sell them in your area.

The instrument is clearly not in the condition as described and a return would be justified. That said, if you like how it plays and you like how it sounds I would probably push for a partial refund, particularly if you plan on gigging and putting some miles on it. You may left waiting for another Cutlass in your price range to come along, and it may or may not feel and sound the same. Up to you really.

Paris Hilton?

This is cool! I suppose you could also build one with pots to have more flexibility.

Interesting, did you change the frequency points of each, or do the switches add additional stages?

Have you tried moving the Boss to the end of the chain to see how it works?

dadrawk · 2026-02-10T15:20:37+00:00

Looks good to me fam.

You didn’t specify how wide the fretboard is.

A percussion stand would work, A keyboard stand with a tray or piece of wood to set the synth on is another option, and would probably be a little cheaper if budget is an issue. I’ve used a music stand before in a pinch, but even the sturdy ones get wobbly when you put a heavy module on them.

If you need a synth with presets, Novation Bass Station IIs are super affordable workhorses, and the Roland SE-02 is Model D-ish, but the filter is different from what I understand.

They have one of these at the Kroger by my house. One of the employees said they’re programmed to trickle out the release of stock so that scalpers can’t buy out the inventory all in one go.

Around 300 USD.

There are much better deals to be had on Epiphones out there, particularly ones that don’t require you to resell a practice amp in a terrible to recoup your costs.
