Open Discussion / Anyone in KY?
April 28, 2023, 05:35:39 PM
Hey guys, I have a favor to ask if someone who is in Kentucky. Someone bought a pedal I built like 13 years ago, and after a decade of use it needs some love (read: tech help). I no longer really build, and I'm moving this summer, and having him send it to me would be less than advised at this time.

If someone is in the Lexington or Louisville area, or knows someone in that area who could help this guy, please send me a message.

Uh... perhaps my memory is incorrect, but I was buying 125Bs (called 125Bs) and using them for pedals long before Mammoth Electronics was a business...

I'm not sure what you're on about, I tried reading the original post, but I don't think you have some facts correct.

*edit, I decided to go back and read, and it turns out you figured it out yourself. Anyway, the point is, it's a 125B because the people who made it used that designation. I suspect they're still called that their name. Your post feels a bit like a 'Why do we call anything what we name it?' kind of post...

Not gut shots? Rehoused behringers the lot of them.

I will not be besmirched!

pfft. The quality still seems like it's not quite Card table... you need to up your game bud.

;)

In all seriousness, I think they're awesome looking projects. Getting a DMM into a 125B is really impressive actually.

There used to be a boutique pedal guy, like a decade back, and that was a big part of what he did, using those covers and switches. I think he metal stamped his letters into the enclosures too. I forget his name.

Fardunk. He had some issues with his pedal business from what I recall.

That's the one. But he made some sweet looking devices. I remember his style was unique, and he wasn't able to keep up with demand.

*edit: I googled, and it was actually "Farndurk"*

It worked out. We helped her over the weekend and got everything cleared out and cleaned up. Plus new curtains and I put up some wall hangers for her bass and acoustic. We made it through with no whining, haha.

My daughter whines much less than my boy's do...

Have a great day old man.

Jacob

Unfortunately too true now.

Dude, I think we've known each other long enough that we were only like 2/3rds our current age. We've known each other for like 1/3 of our lives...

But for real, you need new knees yet? ;P

Actually, that's the wrong way also.

There's a different tool called the "Miter Wires" tool. If you set the radius to 25 or 50 mills, you make easy rounded corners on anything. Just click on it.

It's SOOOO much better than what you guys are doing. Try it out.

I've been using the same set of Event TR6's for 15 years or so now, and they've been great.

Ok, the rounded corners. I can't figure that one out. The video isn't sharp enough. Tips tricks?

I think the way Brian does that is not the most efficient way. There is a tool in the menu that does it much faster and easier. I'll try and record a video and show it, but that likely won't happen till September.

I should do this sometime. I would have to get permission from one of my clients, or just do one for a basic circuit I'm doing. It's pretty informative for people that are learning.
