Re: Electrolytic capacitors - a perspective

My 30 year old Blues Deluxe is in for a major 100,000 km service at the moment. My guy said the capacitors still are all good and not leaking but that it can only be a matter of time. He said (if I heard him right) that the ones Fender used were cheap horrible ones that probably cost 50 cents if th...

Re: KORG KPH-401 Phaser stereo modification

This was a tricky one to solve. Pepe and I went back-and-forth via email for months before I gave up and asked if he could send them. Another one of those times when having the pedal in front of me with the scope was the only way to figure things out. I'm very glad we could piggy-back on the Christm...

Re: New Non-BOSS Pedals

Yes, I'm really happy with it, especially at that price. :D Another bargain made it to me in the last weeks. An Ibanez Soundtank TS5 Tubescreamer for 14 EUR including shipping. I had to order a new switch (under 2 EUR), because it was faulty. Back to full life again! When I tested it against my bro...

Re: Thoughts on a good compressor??

That looks and sounds pretty good! Am very tempted... What did you pay for it?

The Aphex is a nice pedal, but does lack a little feel. I use it mainly to feed my EHX B9 - the B9 needs a relatively constant signal to work well.

Isolated power supply

I needed a fully isolated supply for my stereo board. The Strymon pedals need isolated power because of the digital hash they inject into the power supply when daisy-chained. . Stereo-board.jpg Tried a few options and ended up with this. It is actually fully isolated, and cheap. About USD$40. It doe...

I made an acrylic display case for my music man cave and the boss pedals take up my whole wall. Just finishing up the collection. The TB-2W was the one that hurt the most!!!!
That is seriously, seriously impressive.
