Re: Notaklon kit anyone?

All is well again. JHS did a warranty repair on the pedal, it needed a new charge pump. 10 day turnaround from when I dropped it off to the day it arrived on my porch. Works and sounds great, and didn't cost me anything but a trip to the FedEx drop-off at my usual grocery store. It was a bummer to h...

Re: Switch pop

Is it true bypass? Some of those pop more than Orville Redenbacher.

Pull the board and mail it to me (don't need the whole pedal). I can fix it for you.

Re: Seized pot shafts on a pedal

I have three ways to loosen pot shafts. In order of safety/success... 1. Naphtha. Just a drop or three down the shaft where it meets the pot body. The grain of salt is that this is a home run to match the friction of stiffer Alpha pots to the looser feel of Bournes or CTS. However, it may work to so...

Re: Made in Taiwan Waza Craft Pedals Question

I'm curious about that too.
I had the chance to open up a couple of those a few years ago, but didn't.

Re: Cable Capacitance

I remember when the discussions and arguments started popping up a few decades ago. Pretty sure what put it on the map for me was George L's and Eric Johnson's use of them. He used single coils and fairly long runs of cable with his touring rig, so low cap was pretty necessary. However, he also talk...

Re: Microprocessor based meter - useful bit of gear to have in the kit

Thank you for posting that!
I should get one of those. My multimeter is pretty good, but doesn't have the full testing ability that meter provides. It's perfect for my use, as dead-on accuracy is not essential.

Re: Notaklon kit anyone?

Got the kit today! What a mixed bag of emotions… It was great to get it after a 3 month wait. Yes! It was beyond easy to assemble. DIY level 1. It works! (Assumed) 😉 Compared it to the Han Taun, the JHS is very similar in gain and general tonality. The JHS has more output and the treble control gets...

Re: New amp day

WOW! $24 is the used price for a horrible Fender Frontman 10G.
Have always liked the Cube 15, it doesn't sound nearly as small and harsh as other amps in that 15W/1x8" configuration. The COSM dirts cover a LOT of ground!
