Re: Show us your whole setup....
No, I haven't tried the Sunset but it was on my shortlist and I would've snapped one up if a 2nd hand had came along, might still if the OD200 doesn't end up floating my boat. I was hesitant to pay rrp for the sunset as I've had mixed results from single eq knob drives - if the base eq isn't to tast...

Re: Show us your whole setup....
What's the six-button switch? External control for MC8? Yep. They're always the same functions - One takes me to the home page on the MC8. The others are all OD200 control; 3x drive tones, 1x boost (so effectively 6x drive tones) & off. I've only used the OD-200 for a couple hours, I'm not conv...

Re: Show us your whole setup....
Forgot the under hood shoot: IMG_20240521_215814.jpg I couldn't find hinges that'd work so I synthesized a 4 bar linkage that would a) lift approximately vertically near the closed position so the latches can engage smoothly b) bottom out and rest at the right spot in the open position c) maintain t...

Re: Show us your whole setup....
So the brief was, no item over 12kg, 2 trips to the car max, minimal set up time, stereo. There is a TPA3255 class D 2x 150W amp in one of the cabs, a speaker cable goes to the slave cab. The pedalboard feeds the master cab via TRS cable. There's still some finishing touches to go on the pedalboard,...

Re: Wanted: yet more speakers
A few of the 10" speakers on Amazon have free shipping, Celestion G10 vintages are 162NZD each, creambacks are $200 each.
I got sick of waiting for a used pair to come up and bought the vintages, shipping was 12 days. Very happy with them.

Re: Changing a normally open FS to normally closed
The switch looks to be a DPST NO (normally open), so can't be rewired to NC (normally closed). You could find the same form switch in NC and replace those (They'll be somewhere in these 13,600 options ) but probably easier to get DPDT momentary foot switches, like these. to replace the pcb ones. One...

Re: Pedals Of Epicness
I feel like I need to build one of these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-R1Cr_tjvY I made a dual expression control version, one side controls a SA Ventris delay, the other a boss MD500. Might upsize to a triple version to control reverb too :D IMG_20230903_155031.jpg IMG_20230903_144714.jpg I c...

Re: Momentary footswitches
Hi guys, gonna build an arduino controlled switcher for the katana and want 4 momentary footswitches to change the channels, wheres the best place to get them from? Do you need any long press functions? Could you deal with a double tap instead? I'd use latching switches, they have the nice positive...

Re: Calculating Parallel resistances for dummy's (me)
selecting 2 different resistors, one so the pickup sees approx 250k and another so it sees less, maybe 150k for a darker tone. There are lots of online tools that'll do math for you, WolframAlpha is great: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=R+%3D1%2F((1%2Fr)%2B(1%2Fp)),+R%3D150,+p%3D500 R is the ...

Re: Neck Issue
The eyecrometer is not a tool to be relied on. Use a real measurement tool - feeler gauges are cheap as chips.
No neck is perfectly straight, a twist is only a problem if you have symptoms.

Re: Anyone used the site guitarsrock.co.nz?
Sorry but I don't get this. How is it 'unethical' to sell something at the recommend retail or whatever? It's not, that's not my concern. You say you'd go out of business if everything was sold at 'the cheapest we can possibly do it for' so if it's unsustainable then how can you sell anything at th...

Re: Anyone used the site guitarsrock.co.nz?
Offering to price match is like an ambulance at the bottom of the cliff. As much as we all appreciate it, you're probably losing a pretty high % of potential customers by simply having a higher ticket price. There will be a lot of people who either don't know or don't want to ask. Just an observati...

Re: multi meter reccomendations
You'll need $5k for a Tektronix scope, at least $500 for a fluke, and another $1k for a snapon set to properly respect your fasteners.Olderama wrote:Looking just to bias this amp and check pick ups

They're all great quality, they'll pay for themselves in just a few generations

Re: multi meter reccomendations
Buying a fluke just to bias one amp is ridiculous, my 20 dollar DMM takes identical readings to my 15b, except the fluke can't test trannies so arguably had less value to a hobbyist.
The cheapest DMM you can find will do the job fine, even a $10 DSE special.
