Sounds like you came out on top of that trade, nicely done.

Truthfully, I avoid trades like the plague, because generally people way overvalue what they have when approaching a trade.  I've had at least a dozen instances where I've had guitars listed (and sold) for reasonable used market prices and had people offer me unsolicited trades on stuff that sells less new for what I am asking for.  I think my favourite was some guy wanting to trade a stock Ibanez Gio for a Gibson Les Paul Studio.
Sweet! Was the Ibanez made of gold or platinum or have a super kickass amp plug up to it that came with it?

Funny story, I got a PCB for this and something was  amiss, so I built it on Beto, same thing. Turns out the 2n5457s just weren't doing it, so I inserted some j201s. Beautiful.

Measure at the pads where you soldered them. Also, if you touch the anode and cathode on the meter to the anode and cathode to the led, it should light up. Are you sure it's a 6.8k and not 68k or 6.8r?

We'll certainly have a play. Need to build another one at some point anyhow.
Will we have a crack at some JuanFX boards to build?

I'm really digging the sound. The switch really opens it up.

Build Reports / 15080A P19 on a pickdropper board

Because it was there. Every time  I do a 1590a, I swear it's the last one. I must have had about a million mini muffs, and I think this may be the last one. I became intrigued with the skreddy p19 for no apparent reason. The stencil I made myself, I wanted to give it a worn look, again for no good reason.

I'm not sure which version is which, bit at the top of the current doc is a link to the previous doc, and at the top of that doc should be a link to it's previous doc.

Fuzz - any Woolly Mammoth Variant
OD - something with a Clean Blend, like Jacob's Clean Drive
Comp - my personal favourite for bass is Dynacomp variants, but all do pretty well
Chorus - stock CE-2 builds
EQ - the 1776 Sharpshooter with the bass values
Phaser - whichever one jimilee loves most
Envelope filter - one with very few knobs.  SWAW works OK, had better success with DOD variants
[/quoteRoss Phaser is my favorite. Oh, JMK has a big bass overdrive that's pretty gnarly. For practical purposes, my favorite delays are the cavedweller and the DeProfundis from GC. Honestly, my favorite compressor is a soul preacher. I've built tons of different compressor's and I keep coming back to this one.

I am a bass player first and foremost. The only pedals that need a bit of modding, in my experiences over the last 5 years give or take, are overdrives. The overdrives tend to lose the bottom end, also, I have a modded klone and a Green Russian. It isn't really necessary on the Green Russian though. All the other pedals work just fine. I have a different ce-2 clone that works incredibly with bass, and all of my phasers are just fine. I should say that i put a larger input cap on my wah pedals as well.
