My ADD wouldn't let me see anything in that schematic other than the dueling opamps

Idk... It might restrict the toanz...

Ok cool. I swear, sourcing and buying the parts is harder than building the dang things! Regardless, that one's cheaper on mouser and I've got other stuff coming from there so I'll give it a go.

Yep, I agree. I have a really hard time ordering caps for some reason

Oh, right... S is the single coil and T is the double coil type. You need the single coil type.

I don't see the 4.5v version at Mouser

The EA2-5TNJ is non-latching. You need the latching version EA2-5SNJ. I think Mouser has it in stock

If anyone knows of any others that work I'd be interested to know as well

That really looks nice, no gut shots?

Oh sorry, It's not one of mine (I wish). Here is a thread with some gut shots, but it doesn't reveal too much

Edit: looks like the pots may just be standard right-angle 9mm pcb pin type with the shafts cut short

Something I've thought of doing on a lot of my pedals is cutting down the pot shaft and just leaving a flatblade screw driver slot in the top so the knobs don't move just by getting bumped.  It would look pretty f-ugly but functional.

I've been staring at this for years trying to figure out how to do it. Looks pretty kick-a** to me.

I really like headless basses. Good score

Yep, that's an awesome score. Years ago somebody gave me one they had as a parts spare and I was too young to think about repairing it and immediately disassembled it and salvaged for parts. I probably still have a couple of knobs hanging out somewhere.

I looked it up a few months back and was surprised to find that ADA makes a couple of MP1 based pedals now which look pretty cool.

Anybody have a schematic for the SolidGoldFX Surf Rider III? I know it uses a Belton brick, just wondering how it gets the spring sound out of it.

And don't forget the choice of speaker is essentially an eq which has final say as to how everything sounds

Just for home and practicing with friends, I use an AC30CC Head and 2x12 cab as well as a Roland JC-77 2x10, and sometimes a Pignose

Thanks guys, I guess I'll give'em a try

Thanks for the tip! I got a couple of fv1s and belton bricks. Prices are great
