That's cool.

My name is Frank.

that doesn't look as much like the opening of Star Wars as I wanted

As an English person (which I can prove: "sorry"),
I'd like to add a bit of history, not the Darien Scheme
(an amazing story if you've time). I'd mention earier this year
when the UK government refused Scotland Devo Max (control of everything
except armed forces and foreign affairs - which the SNP prefer) and said
Scotland could have a referendum.

This was probably a cynical largess, the current UK government had a referendun
on proportional representation not so long ago and got what it wanted by asking
people to vote on keeping the "first passed the post" voting method or their own
spin on proportional representation - which everyone agreed wasn't that good.

Scottish politicians are shrewder than the Liberal Democrats (who wanted PR).
If the No vote wins the UK government agreed to a slightly refined version of Devo
Max (which is a start for the SNP). If the Yes vote wins well, it'll be a tough time
for us both (We'll be stuck with the Conservative party because a lot of Labour
support came from Scotland. Frankly I think the Scottish will fair better than anyone
in the UK expects.

British culture is now in a bit of a cul-de-sac - we need to appreciate the values of the
Scottish and Irish people to improve as a society - to my mind.

I can't stand the silence!!

Okay!! I confess, I've got a Tone Monk Phoenix enclosure!!!

turns out c17 unjumpered is an effect bypass.

Hi there, long time lurker (which is a good thing, not creepy) - really love the advice and wisdom here.

So ..

There are a lot of references to mods for the awesome pork barrel chorus and I've just made one - most pleased. I tried a tonepad PCB before and had much much less joy - might go back and debug that one some time... nah...

I've successfully got an extra rate pot working off a second footstomp and the rate mod with LED... not so sure about that one.. it sounded a bit "colder" than before .. going to set up a switch so I can put the 4k7 back in the circuit and switch the LED to be non-throbby for warmer sounds... unless a relay could be employed... I'm using a big enclosure so... anyway that's by the by..

The trouble is I've been reading all the mods for the different versions of the pork barrel and I'd got really excited about using an on-off-on switch to get me "C25, nuthin' and jumpered" all on one switch.. in the spirit of open-ness I'll confess I wired that sucker up before looking at the schematic where... C25 doesn't exist

I can't see a 22n on the new schematic - it's jobs being done by c17 isn't it?

Looks like the deep mod can be recreated in the new board by increasing c18... thinking about that as I play a Bass VI

I'll admit I can read a schematic (a little) and solder the thing - but I'm overcoming a mental block about the details of what's going on. I'd like to be able to make informed decisions about subs and in a few years maybe I'll get there.. till then I'm enjoying making pedals and playing them, and reading clever stuff from others

So am I on the wrong track or are there better mods for the new pork barrel? Many thanks for reading.
