General Questions / Re: Distortion for bass

I always loved the RAT and a Tubescreamer on bass for some nice grit and Russian Big Muff for the fuzzys.

Runt, Green Bean and Mudbunny..

Build them all!

Russian big muff is awesome. I found the tube screamer to be a bit thin as is. I love the big bass overdrive that JMK has, or the BYOC bass overdrive. They sell PCBs separately in some of their projects.

Use a wiring stomp board to run parallel power and ground, a lot of them have pads on both sides along with led pads. 1776 and lectric -fx are two that come to mind. You shouldn't have any issues with the boards themselves unless you turn them all on at the same time, real noise fest. When the build docs say omit a component, don't jumper unless there is a note somewhere. Slow loris is great for bass, my favorite is a green Russian muff as far as fuzz goes. Also a modified Klon sounds great also. For overdrives, the big bass overdrive can't really be be beat.

That feeling you get when you troubleshoot a board for 3 hours only to realize the only thing wrong is you need to solder the LED in to make it work.

Excellent. I think I'd like to build mine with a switchable bypass for TB or Buffered...hmmm

Really cool.

Throw a socket in there and make it happen. You really shouldn't have any issues.

General Questions / Re: Green Bean Diodes for D1-D3?
March 12, 2016, 03:10:50 AM
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but put a jumper on the sym right pad and middle pad, and a jumper in D3, that should leave you D1 and D2 like the original ts808. D4 and D5 should no longer even be in the circuit because of the jumpered switch.

Naaaa. You now how the silkscreen is round on the same side the transistor is like this D (that's supposed to be a transistor from the top view) turn your transistor around 180 degrees.

Get wood?

Pink Pony, and when you start running low on cash head to the Clermont Lounge.  ;D
I was going to say the cheetah 3 is great place to get wood, but that would've been in poor taste. I went there for a bachelor party once.
  Otherwise, I"m not sure where to get wood to build guitars in general.

1n914 ar the closest to the originals I think. I think I also put red LEDs in the clipping options,

1. The opposite the silkscreen so it looks like you're putting them in backwards.
2. Usually exactly the way they are spaced. Middle pin goes in the middle. Other two go however you want, but ideally how it fits best.
3. Yes
4. Caps are caps doesn't really matter unless you're going to run something at 18v.
Enjoy!
