Jerry Garcia had a lap steel phase and Ben Harper does his own lap steel thing with the Weisaenborn

Open Discussion / Re: The reason why we still call it "125B"
« on: April 20, 2023, 01:47:20 PM »The reason 125B is more prevalent is likely based on cost. When 4Site enclosures came onto the market they were half the price of a 1590N1 or less. Since the enclosure is often the most expensive part of a pedal this is a huge savings on BOM cost for a manufacturer and you end up with many people referring to that part number because its just what they use for their products.
Not saying I'm correct, I remember seeing the 4site stuff come out and looking for equivalent Hammond models and not being able to find one for the 125B. It may have been the 1590N1 was only available with ribs. The ribs may explain the tolerance discrepancy and/or the "similar" remark. Not sure

Open Discussion / Re: NPD - Overdrive content
« on: April 15, 2023, 12:21:53 PM »I think he needs to do a video where he shows all the overdrives and makes them all sound the same.Then in two years reveal that he was really just plugged direct the whole time.Its cool seeing an OD-2 so loved, its been forever since I messed with one.Now if only Josh Scott would do a video where he runs this up against a slew of other overdrives! (that might be a bad thing because the asking prices would triple) I think there would be an even greater gamut of drives that the OD-2 could compare to, given that it has two modes. I seriously can't find a single overdrive-type tone that this thing can't do.

Open Discussion / Re: I need a bypass board with tails. Please help :)
« on: April 11, 2023, 02:41:51 PM »The MemoryMan does not easily allow for tails bypass, unfortunately. Looking at the Skoolie schematic, in order to have tails you have to break the connection b/w R6/C4 to IC1 pin5/R20. However, R6 also delivers the voltage bias input to pin5, so if you remove that connection, you get nothing out of pin7 (or, nothing food sounding at least).That sounds like a plan I can test. Thanks!
But, if you were to add another resistor at the junction of C23 and R20, then tie the other end of that to VB, it might work okay. It should be at least 220k as to not form a HP filter with C23.
I'm curious tho, will grounding the input and leaving the output connected on a buffered bypass board be to noisy, or is there some other reason that doesn't work?

I'm building the Skoolie and was thinking what else could possibly be crammed in with it... Tails, duh.
Anybody possibly know of a bypass board with tails?

A buddy of mine let me borrow his Fender Bass VI for a while and it was totally awesome. It's essentially a regular bass but with two higher strings and it somehow forces you to play differently than if it were a regular bass or guitar. It's a very unique experience and way different than a baritone.

"He says he aims to launch Western Electric’s 12AX7, America’s first new tube in decades, this summer. After that he plans to add a string of additional models, versions of the 6L6, EL34, EL84 12 AT7, and 6V6 tubes—a lineup he calculates makes up almost 80 percent of the relevant music equipment, such as guitar and studio amps. If all goes to plan, the US could once again dominate vacuum tube manufacturing."

Btw, the pink bags are not the same as the silver ones. I'd use the silver ones for ICs. The pink ones still let ESD thru the bag, the coating just helps prevent static buildup on the outside.
