Just some recent one's, more to come, I need more boxes !!
( and the inclination to fill them !! )
The Jumbo tonebender was a gift ! - it was in a state, needed new pots
and battery snap/wiring plus a  BC184L replacement, sounds great now!
Its a 1980's version, dont know much about it otherwise?
Tunamelt has the volume mod + blue LED :D

Hey Marty,

What is the volume mod for the Tunamelt?  I did a search of both the forum and the web but didn't see anything.  I love my Tunamelt...

Your pedals look great BTW!

Andy,
There are two resistors right  next to the LDR ( small black plastic ) on the  lower board, marked R102 and R120.
People have reported some "strange" values for these, some "even" and
some "uneven" values.
Mine had a 15k and a 16k there, so swopped 'em up to a pair of 22k's
Instant volume increase when engaged :D
If thats a "tad" too much try a pair of 18k's, but I liked it and it didn't
force my amp to "crunch" at all.

Cheers,
Marty.

 Where'd you get the 'muli-tiered' [Ibanez shaped] boxes ?

They are from the forum, "hairforceone" sells them, either from France
or Belgium  ?

Thanks Marty.  I'll have to give it a try and see how I like it.

Does anyone know, where I can find a layout for the Danelectro Tuna melt?

The link on the first post  doesn't seem to work.  :icon_cry:
