Title: Night Sweats and a Big As Bassman
Post by: cooder on September 27, 2020, 03:27:22 AM
Night Sweats is a double combo of the ol' Crowther Hotcake (2003 version) on top or select the toggle down and we have a Clark Gainster on tap for the more benign low to mid gains.
Works well together and gives a bit more variety in my beloved 125B with jacks on top format. As I don't do 1590As (I need top mounted jacks for my board) this is my way of squeezing extra juice out of the space.

Big As Bassman is my version of Catalinbread 5F6A, added the presence control on dash rather than inside trimmer, gave it a 9 to 18V selector with charge pump inside  (it sounds soooo good on 18 V I think....) and split the 4P2T switch into two 2DPDT which allows for more tonal variety while we're at it. Also the 2PDTs are easier to get and maybe more reliable than the 4PDTs I have a feeling...
Anyway, lovin' it. Big bold classic and a lot of variety to be had with this. SMD 4393 trannies.
Acrylic faceplate, laser decal, onboard Coda relay. Works for me.

These are awesome cooder, you just keep stepping up your game non stop. I would love to hear the baseman, I have such a love of the 5f6 circuit.

Those knobs on the Night Sweats pedal seem to go perfectly with that font.   8)

Both pedals look great.  Nice work!

Looks awesome, you are really getting the hang of board design!
