I have not posted here in a million years -- been off in Google groups, but last night I had a great time when I surprised a good friend by giving him one of a pair of resonator CBGs I had built. The…Continue

There MUST be a gazillion copies of the Hendrix FF out there, I wonder how close a clone it is?

"Everyone but the one I need"

Damn those bloody Chinese :-D

Comment by Bob Lumpkin on January 20, 2012 at 11:20am

Yep,Naz. Everyone but the one I need. The JF-2 PCB is not on there. The cap values I need are for XC1 & XC2. No big deal, I just wanted to try the optional hook up. Thanks anyway.

Comment by Naz Nomad on January 20, 2012 at 10:38am

Bob, the cap values are on the schematics on that site ...

Like Mark said, there is "it goes to 11", good group, check it out. Maybe we need a tube amp site. I have some chassis & parts & that's on my bucket list if I ever get to it. I hope there is an "Effect pedal" group on here somewhere. Back to my search. I think I have pics of a couple of my amps on here somewhere if you want to look.

Hello everybody. I'll be back soon to get to know ya. Right now I'm on a quest to get help with a fuzz I'm buildinging. PCB from www.DIYEffect.com (China) JH fuzz JF-2, project JHFF, pcb JF-2. Plans include some options but left off the value of one of the caps. Right now I'm not getting output. Works fine in bypass. HELP!

I'm a bit puzzled as to why this group was started when there was already a well established amps group on CB Nation (called "It Goes To 11")

Anyone contemplating amps might do well to look there because there's a lot of discussion and info.

see http://www.cigarboxnation.com/group/amps

I've built the Supreaux Deux distortion/amp simulator designed by Runoffgroove. I find their designs and articles are clear and quite easy to follow.

Anybody try building their own guitar effects?  I've seen a bunch of kits (some are very expensive, too) and some schematics to build from scratch.  I haven't made the jump yet, but I was wondering if anyone else has.
