Aren't the umlauts actually mouse (as in Mickey Mouse) ears?

I remember something with an LM386 at DIYStompboxes.

I thought it could be a per bank sort of thing.

Quote from: RogerAxetrample on September 07, 2012, 07:13:10 AMBut if there's a dozen of them why'd assign them? They could easily cover all parameters for any single effect at one time, right? Or do you mean being able to assign parameters from different effects?
I was thinking about the latter.
QuoteAnd would you use them for editing presets or also for tweaking a loaded preset during playing?
If it were an either/or situation, I'd pick live tweaking over editing presets. Firstly because it's always fun to be able to motorboat delays and whatnot and have a fun noisy moment on stage. Secondly because after you had your fun noisy moment you'd like your presets back to normal--though I know it should be quite easy to have the pots not affecting the presets (unless there was a "store" button like the MS2). Thirdly because you should edit presets at home/your rehearsal space, worst case scenario during soundcheck, but not during a gig. Being also able to do it would be cool, but not nearly as functional IMHO.

Ever tried the Jag/Mustang scale? You can stretch your fingers to get really cool chord voicings.

Don't know about reverse 'verb, but I do love me a delay with generous feedback into a 100% wet reverse delay. Repeats get higher instead of lower. Not very musical, as fairly uncontrollable, but gives me Led Zep yaled goosebumps.

Probably the most standard non-standard Tele I've ever seen! lol

Congrats! :)

For the control thing, maybe some assignable digital knobs, Magicstomp-style? Make'em a dozen and I'll be happy... ;D

The ROSS. Tons of tone and mods to keep you busy for weeks. Mine's got 5 knobs and 3 toggles.

The tonepad one?
Actually, I was given a black ROSS (not clone) as part of a bulk pedal buy from a friend who said it wasn't working. Fired it up and it worked the first time. Modding fun time! I still want to try the Small Stone caps for all stages, though. Even when set to subtle it's still very deep.

Edit: I've RE'd it and it's the same circuit as the Tonepad one.

I got myself an MN3205 to replace the V3205 on my BBE Two-Timer. I needed to replace the bias transistors with a trimpot, but the noise got so much better...

Whatever is the smallest Dremel bit size Brazilian stores carry (I think it's 1/32"). I have to enlarge the holes a bit depending on the wire gauge I use, but it's not a huge pain.

Bending the leads makes the job much easier in the same proportion as it makes servicing harder. Having a (near) physical connection will always make things more reliable.
