If I have gsk signachurr edition levels of gain, it's too much. Got it.
-
Hmmm... Not sure if I have too much gain. How do I know if I do or not?
-
For someone who's never used sketch up before, not bad. But take it from me, best tip for 3d work is to be as painstakingly accurate as you can, and use keyboard shortcuts.
-
That's weird. Maybe it's just the truss rod cover that says 50's tribute, and was a left over from a 50's tribute LP?
Looks good anyway. 2013 was the last of the good ones it seems, now they're trying this whole innovation thing and failing miserably
Also, Niel... do you recall any people that 3D print custom guitars? I heard from someone the other day that one guy is doing this for around $4k, but I have no idea who it is.
There is a few companies doing it but they're a bit on the gimmicky side. I'll have a look over the next day or so
-
it's actually the guy from Defined Tenshuns.
The power supply seems to be working perfectly, so I'll be developing it out a bit tonight. It's going to be a desperately simple circuit.
On a separate note, I think i might have come across a schematic for a dickinson amp.
-
Yeah when he was telling me about it he said "you could play a note, head out for lunch, make a cup of tea, come back, and it would still be ringing away."
Maybe in due course I'll tell you who it is. For now (and this is speaking to you as a mod by the way), even if you figure out who it is, I'd prefer if it could be kept off the public side if the board for the time being. Is that ok?

See, I know he HAD a pair of fender devilles before, that they used to face each other with a mic in the middle for sustain lels. He said it "gave more sustain out of an amp than he's ever come across." He's very familiar with the sound and feel of a driven fender, which made me consider that.
Thing is, the more I start working on this, I'm not sure how much it's going to sound like these amps. It won't have a tone stack, so most of the characteristics of the pedal is going to come from the gain stage. The closest to it as is, is the 1484, because the tubes in that and the tubes I'm using are supposedly VERY similar, even down to the voltages supplied.
It's still going to be a boost/drive pedal. So once each gain control gets beyond 50%, it's going to start to clip and sound driven. If something like a fender sounds excellent driven for blues, it could still be an option.
What about something like Selmer/Vox/Matchless? Should I steer clear?
-
Hey Niel... what do you make of this?
that, to me, is blasphemous.
this, however, is not.
building a pedal for someone at the moment. has to be designed, built and tested by the 6th of april. easiest way to explain it would be to imagine a super-duper 2-in-1, but with a tube, where each gain stage is based on a proper tube amp. Only question now is, which amp to use. I've narrowed it down to a 1963 JTM, a 1970s Twin Reverb, or the old favorite 1484.
Now, think of this from my point of view. He plays a 1990 Marshall (fucked if i know. It's a big amp head and it's black), and he plays a sort of bluesy-rock style, through a 72 Tele with original pups. so out of those 3 amps, which would you cheeky chappies suggest i base this off?
-
Awesome, this very helps.
As a thank you, morning lels. Is the the most pointless piece of gear evars? http://www.submarinepickup.com

ok so for those of you who have been playing guitar for a lot longer than me, I've a question about amps, specifically, those with large quantities of vintage and rare. also, may have asked this before, but I need to figure this out by monday.
I've been doing some research into older amps that are considered to be the "highly sought after" amps. I know there's all the old vintage makes like Selmer, Silvertone, JMI etc., but including/not including those ones, what are the most highly sought after amps, as far as older ones go. For example, I know there's certain eras of the Twin Reverb, AC30 (are matchless/jmi more favored?), and marshall amps (haven't a clue on that one.)
The reason I ask is that my plan to build a run of 6 Cannon pedals has been put on hold while I build 1 pedal for a special customer. Even more special than jaeamzs

Peint adds toans?
Edit:
Top lels on the tags this thread!

Dat white brij tho!

Was it blessed by the ballsack of teh ejjj?
-
To be fair, $5k is a ridiculous amount of money to be asking for that guitar.
I would pay that, but then I'd say £5 and a Mars bar us too much to pay for something from The Edge, but yet people still have a trouser accident over his mediocrity.
-
Ugh. Fuck being a broke architect
-
What is this I can't even.
-
You just talked Niel out from buying one
Nah. I still want one! I've just moved into my new home for the next while. I have all my stuff for building pedals, except my 3d printer. That being said, I think I might press on with the builds, and just use pad board. If anything, it will be a good exercise to see how they sound.
-
They aren't perfect. They work but I'd be shocked if you call it a favourite, or a player, or any other cork sniffer term.
Cheap and moddable. Go nuts.
Yeah kinda want a guitar one and a bass one, but with tasty modern pickups.
-
Get it made backwards for moar toanz?
-
I have some. What r you wondering? Also, are you emigrating...to the US??
Not to the US, and it might be getting pushed back a month or so.
I'm kinda intrigued by them. They're light, easy to mod, vintage, cheap.... What's the catch?
Ah MFC. I forget why he departed this place...Why did he leave?
-
Don't worry, you'll get first choice from the 4 prototypes once they're done. I'm starting a new job next week, so I'm moving this week, and my 3d printer is back in parts. But I'm still aiming for late February/early march for the 4 cannon prototypes.
-
Yeah I have my eye on one for when I emigrate. I'm gonna end off selling off some gear, and buy a new setup over there.
-
Edit:
On a more relevant note, has anyone here had any experience with those cheap 60s guitars, like Kay, Goya, Haagstrom, Tiesco etc?
-
Generally, the fail list is 25% chunkier than trannies.
Edit: also, can we get the thread name fixed? Shouldn't it be GK&T?

I use sketcup pretty much every day for my job. But I use it to design buildings and ultimately produce images like this:
Ultimately, the idea behind it is good, but again, I wouldn't use sketchup for something it isnt. Nothing beats a drawing with dimensions on it.
