All the famous musicians who have started on them! 
Two of the things that vintage effects are missing is true bypass switching & power supply filtering. While board mounted switches may be hard to change out, filtering the power is not? This simple circuit combines Reverse polarity protection &…

Thanks Brian !!
Thanks Brian for the info on bass building
Hey Brian, I'm Tony and I want to build a weedeater cord bass guitar. Can you help me with tutorial or more. Thanks Anthony Adams Friend of Late Dave Lynas.
Thanks Brian!
Well hello there Brian! Good of you to let me know. Thanks for the reminder of where that link is!
Just sent them a message about it.
Thank you.
Thanks for the input on octave pedals. I actually have an inexpensive one that works fine, but I wanted something simpler that could be incorporated into my CBG with just one output.
You are the stomp box effects guy! Is it possible to put a passive octave down circuit between a single pole, single coil pickup and a volume control? Is it also possible to build a separate circuit that goes an octave up too?
bu..bu..but what about poor ol' cousin Dean? I turned up his oxygen as I read her email to him. I honestly think I saw his eyelids flutter a bit when I mentioned all that money.
This would mean we wouldn't have to spoon-pour his grits into that feedin' tube no more. Dean seems to like his grits with chicken gravy, but we ain't sure ... him being in that coma and such like. And I just don't believe ol' Ms Woodrat would scam anybody like that.
For the record, I cannot believe this happened. I am having more fun with this than you can imagine. I actually think there might be an old timey country tune in it. ;)
