Thanks Rob.  Been saving those gold knobs for a special occasion.  Shame I couldn't drill three holes in a straight line.    Oh well, there's always "lunch", I suppose...

guts are pretty disgusting, but it works.

I can usually manage one step in a straight line, but after that things can get a bit random...

John love the PCB, you're going to have start putting windows in your enclosures.

Are you sourcing all your knobs surplus or are there some new stock suppliers out there that are low visibility and have remained out of the mainstream?

Always an education to view your work, beautiful!

Take care,
dave

Couple of Runoff Groove projects, fresh off the clearcoating block.

Azabache:


The board came from Jubal81 on the Madbean board -- he made himself 3, put up two in the emporium, and I snagged one before he decided that he liked it so much he was keeping the other board. Lucky me! This thing sounds out-frigging-standing, easily my favorite of the Runoff Groove amp sims, and I've breadboarded (or built) almost all of them now. There are a couple considerations, though. Although the distortion and EQ characteristics are pretty much spot on even with a single tone knob, the blond and tweed settings don't have the "feel" of the real things. There's no sag or anything (obviously that's not going to happen), but a compressor in front solves that "problem."

However, the Silverface mode is absolutely spot on. It feels and sounds EXACTLY like my friend's '76 Deluxe. It's uncanny. Currently that's my favorite mode.

The final diodes have a HUGE effect on the overall distortion sound. (The preceding diode pairs are much less noticeable.) Here I used OA126 (one of my favorite diodes) in a 2:1 asymmetric arrangement. I really thought the distortion was improved overall with this arrangement, and it cleaned up the sound a little bit (and gives unity volume at the lowest gain settings) due to the higher Fv.

The box is 18K Gold from Pedal Parts Plus.

Supreaux Deux -- in a 1590A WITH the charge pump on board:


I like this a little better than the Honey Bee (which seems the logical thing to compare it to) overall -- which is saying a lot because that's a really excellent sounding pedal. However, the S.D. has a lot more glass and sparkle on the highest settings, which is important to me, and its distortion characteristics don't change when the tone knob is changed. This makes the settings a lot more repeatable and intuitive, which I like. It has less distortion overall (even underbiased), but that's not much of an issue for me since I don't use a lot of distortion. This thing is LOUD too. Tons and tons of output.

That's the Superman shield, obviously. And his underwearouterwear.

EDIT: Yes, I'm aware it's spelled wrong. English major, not French. See, for reference, my Capucino [sic] Fuzz.

Here's the layout if anyone wants it:

Sorry for the kind of boring graphics; amp sims just weren't bringing up any cute images for me, and I like to stick with the original Runoff Groove names out of respect for their requests on their site, in case I ever have to sell them for some reason.

Love em glops! I gotta start etching cases! I love the look.


Here's a few pics I didn't post with my turkey day entry





gotta say I do like these new Bearboxes!

[bluebunny]

That looks great, Jim.  Agree about the Bearbox.  Is yours the first completed Bearbox project we've seen?

[Mustachio]

You know I'm not totally sure. But I dont think I've seen anyone else's build with that box yet.

When Steve posted they where finally on sale I think I bought 2 within 5 minutes of him posting!

That's a very nice looking build.  The graphics really suit that box, IMHO.

Thank guys!  I really like the superfuzz style enclosures (dizzytone). They aren't perfect, as in they aren't perfectly sealed but they are solid as a tank and heavy.  And I like the slant in the enclosure. Just feels so good to step on.
