  1. Yeah I never actually test connections. But then my multimeter isn't able to.

     

    I have 60/40. I think that's pretty much standard for this sort of thing.

     

    Definitely need to replace my iron though. It's still working, but the part that holds the tip doesn't tighten properly anymore.

     

    Leaded was getting hard to get around here after some regulations kicked in, i thought that it was worldwide.

     

    If for some reason you would want to check a connection then set your MM to the lowest resistance setting possible, when it measures below a few ohms then it is a connection.

    "Have you been at Nando's before?"

     

    "Yes. Yes I have."

     

    Jelly. Btw what was Exeter like? Some of my relatives live there and sometimes they try to convince me to spend some time there but i don't know what to do there.

    Is London exponentially more interesting?

  3. Visit Brewdog, in Camden.

     

    Its beer is brewed about 20 miles from my house, and will blow your cute lil 'Merican socks off

     

    But their whole thing is copying american craft beer with some next level marketing, their distribution is good tho but they have nothing on New York. They showed me the light a few years ago so i am not hating or anything and i still drink them due to limited US stuff availability but James is probably within a 5km radius of the best bottleshops of the world.

  4. I did have something at gregg's in exeter last time (or at least I think I did) and it seemed pretty good. Any other places that the archbishop of banterbury would eat at?

     

    Its time to break out the Michelin Guide or the Gault Millau one.

     

    Breakfast: third wave espressos from some Square Mile beans

    Lunch: Some of dat dere Blumenthal shit

    Dinner: Nando's and craft beer, non of that boring Real Ale CAMRA shit though

  5. Might look into getting one. Fancy making my own cables as well as that'll save me a shit load

     

    Are there any recommended tools/kits for generally setting up a guitar intonation/action/general keeping a guitar in a non-fucked up condition?

     

    Get an electric screwdriver with variable torque/clutch and a set of bits.

    Once i wanted to 3d print a plastic piece with a hex body and a head which fits a tuning peg so i could detune the guitar pretty fast (before putting on a new set of strings) with an electric screwdriver but someone already figured that out.

  6. I have a strat stlye guitar made by them, everything is better expect for the pickups than current american or mexican strats. Since anyone can buy good hardware the only interesting part of the equation is the wood.

    In my case the body is a two piece swamp ash and the neck is hard maple with maple fretboard. It is unpainted so i cant say anything about the paintjob, the swamp ash is sorta soft, you can easily put lots of dents in it but i think ash is naturally softer than other tone woods.

    I found the neck pretty wide and fat, i don't really like it. The large frets are wearing too fast imo.

    I have set up the neck only once in the last 5 years and it keeps the setup perfect even though i used to keep it in pretty fucked environments. (places so dry i used to wake up with nosebleed everytime or places so humid that mold grew on the walls, constant temperature swings etc.)

  7. I fixed the transistors up since your sim if you wanted to try again?

     

    I just tried the new (ver 1.08) input stage and it doesn't work according to LTSpice.

     

    Is this the right circuit for stage 1?

  8. In my sims it seemed like the switch only lowered the input impedance but did nothing else.

    (in my eyes the switch parallels R16 with R17 and R18 with R19 in both cases halving the original resistance)

  9. Does the 22u not look right? It's actually the only capacitor I am not so certain about.

     

    That cap messes only with the bass response of the first stage. (a higher value would give more bass to stage1)

     

    I was just not really "impressed" with the tonestack, most of it's range seems like a weakish treble cut on the plot. It is not really Muffish. Maybe i should change the view a bit.

  10. Awesome. I'm really not surprised by how much bass it's removing. I'd be so tempted to whack different caps in to get more bass through. I wonder if it's to compensate for the BMP stages later on?

     

    Anyway, Board B has a PCB. I'll PDF it all when it's done. Also, over 1100 views on my album. Gee, didn't think there was THAT much of a market for it.

    Nice PCB!

     

    Sometimes it helps to cut bass before a massive distortion to keep things more defined and clear but it seems pretty big. I have never heard this circuit with a guitar, maybe that is why it sounds bad with a guitar?

     

    I added some tonestack simulations, it does not look very convincing, maybe i screwed up something or there was a mistake on the schem.
