Blackmore indeed lowered down his middle pickup. His signature strat even has a dummy in that position if I'm not mistaken. I nevey have trouble with the middle pickup being in the way. In fact, I can't live without the sound. Guess my picking technique is just different.

Bridge himbucker might a nice mod, something like an EVO 2 pickup is a nice combo for switching from rhythm to solo.

Blocking the trem could be an option. I block my Floyd guitars but usually don't feel the need to do it with strats. A heavier trem block (bigger and made out of steel or brass) could be a good idea. The standard block, even if it's not zinc, is rather flimsy.

Hope that helps.

Here is the demo I promised...showcasing the pedals octave abilities (mainly happening above the 12th fret), not my playing Highest note played is a 22nd fret D through humbuckers, close to the end of the clip.

Yeah I know the mod. There has been a Mudbunny version with it on the board. I'd like a 4 knob (2x2) with board mounted pots. It's quite a nice mod. I sometimes use it, sometimes don't. It would be great if there were two versions available. Maybe i'll design it myself, but i'm not really in the mood for that right now.

MAYBE GET BOARD ? LINK?

See the Nucleon thread in the Members Projects area here

actually I've never heard anything that has more upper octave than a good octavia. still, some dudes say that a superfuzz when done with a transistor array matched trannies can have insane amount of octave up. hopefully we'll have an answer soon when others pitch in

I'll see if I can do a short demo of my Super Fuzz tomorrow, demonstrating the octave. Incidentally, my Super Fuzz boards are back in stock, if anyone's interested 

Will the Mudbunny ever get its mid knob back?

Wampler Pinnacle built on vero. Still trying to get the hang of keeping the offboard wiring neat.

Screw the insides! That is one gorgeous pedal on the outside! Totally jealous of that faceplate! Care to share your technique?

Love the graphic, nice build!

How is it working out Robrhy?

Stratocaster position 4 (mid and neck) and position 5 (neck)

I didn't know you could just stick a germanium transistor in place of the BS170, I just assumed those would bias differently. But it seems to fit the rule of thumb: JFETs bias like tubes, MOSFETS bias like bipolars. Interesting.

Easily although I hope to spend a little less in the upcoming months. I've basically acquired everything I need to keep building until june

I hardly play anymore. The most playing I do is testing pedals. The playing itself hasn't really progressed for about 3 years now I think.

So look at this picture



I totally get how both can work as a high pass filter: for high frequencies the capacitor is basically a short and for low frequencies it's an open circuit. About the opposite for low frequencies. In the bottom circuit, the pot impedes high frequencies to escaping through the capacitor.

For the top circuit the cut off frequency is calculated by RC, the product of the resistance and the capacitance. Is that the same for the bottom circuit?

Wow! The first build report where someone other than myself has used my PCB design. Actually an emotional moment. And what a stunning looking pedal! And I also thought: cool etch and then scrolled down. Wow, awesome.

Very glad you like the PCB. It's quite a lot of parts but it has a nice flow to it when building IMO. Thanks so much for the kind words. Maybe i should change my user name
