I thought you already had a salt booster? What's that little MBM on your board then?
It's a wee kill switch for one of his amps.

Thanks for preview on my baby blue boost also, I received first half of the necessary data today to finish transaction ... this should mean that the schedule I wrote is not endangered.

Mike this thing rules. I am already checking yr demoes for the next one. lol. I'll let you get past the recent build rush.
Wouldn't want to take up yr Xmas with building.
I went to my Dad's place and showed him and he doesn't know crapola about musical equipment, however he said "well I don't know what it does, but I can tell that it's built from high quality components, this chap should go big time." I laughed at that. He's a pilot and is pretty handy with radio repair, but he's no musician.
I'm stoked.

Happy Days. Thanks to you and your Dad for the kind words. I try my hardest to make these things as best I can, and I'm made up when people love them.

Echo Base is here! It actually arrived yesterday but no one was in to collect it, i has it now though. It looks awesome. Looks awesome. Cant use it because I don't have the right plug thingy FUUUUUU. I have this Korg plug which is 9v and i assumed it would work, but no. I will get one tomorrow though, or borrow one off a mate later. My bad. I will do a demo too.

Anyway, thanks Mike. and thanks for the Haribo, first thing i did was eat that. and the pick. that too.

Glad it got there OK

Hope you didn't damage it plugging in your Korg adaptor. It wasn't AC was it?

What does it say on it? I built in reverse polarity protection into the pedal so hopefully it should be fine if you haven't smacked it with some hideous voltage.

It says Input 230v - 50Hz, Output 9v - 200mA. The same as on the Boss pedals plug thing.

I am but they're pricey. It could be worth adding it up again.

Nope. I think it might be something wrong with the adapter. But it does work on the kaoss pad which it came with? weird. The saltbooster still works though, it hasn't damaged it. Nevermind. I need a new adapter anyway.

Ah ok. If the Saltbooster doesn't work either that points to the adaptor being no good for pedals. I think it might be 9V AC rather tahn 9V DC and that's why it doesn't work. Good job I protect pedals against that stuff!!
