First and foremost, Thanks to Mark at Frog Pedals who sold me the PCB, without which I would have never attempted such a build as this for my first build . He also answered a lot of questions. I would like to also thank all the good people at Love My Switches, Parts Express, and Mouser for all the great customer support. Thanks to Scott for all the scrap wire, and Tom for printing out the decals.
And now without further ado...The Banny I.
I have named my version of this pre-amp the "Banny I". My daughter drew the young bassist graphic on my father's day card this year. I just scanned and colorized it. They called me Banny as a child, and my sister says the graphic looks like me as a young teen.
Here is the backside.
The fictitious company that produced it is Nelson Audio (note the "oh" in nelson is a bass clef). I placed the warning label on the back because this circuit produces 185vdc.
And let's not forget the gut shots.
It measures approximately 8" x 3" x 5". I did not design the circuit myself. It is modeled after the Alembic-F2b. I have ran it through the fx return on both my Fender Rumble 150, and my Peavy Tour 750. This is how I always wanted my bass to sound. Between the EQ, Clipping, Brite, and Hi Cut options, I can get a lot of different sounds.
The only flaws I can find in this amp are purely cosmetic, and were caused by myself. If I am ever so inclined, I can buy another enclosure, and try again, but those flaws don't stop it from sounding so great. I really think that the water slide labels are the way to go, I just need more practice. I could probably post a whole other topic on what I learned about using the water slide decals.
I could go into more detail, but I'm afraid I may start to bore.
Thank You for looking.
