Oh, where do you think I should go then?

I don't want a mail order job, just a shop

maplins' pots don't fucking do their job either.

i put one in a guitar once as the volume and it wouldn't turn all the way off, like 60% volume cut when it was at 0. plus the plastic shafts.

do not do.

There is no shop in England that sells guitar/pedal pots. You have to go online. Bitsbox.co.uk is the best place in the UK, Banzai, Musikding and Futurlec are good online retailers.

Surely you would know this with all your experience? Only n00bs go to Maplin.

So you did this huh?

Let's see the pictures. I want you to CONTRIBUTE to the board. Posting pictures will help other people do the same mod, you will have a lasting legacy as a Teacher.

Also tell us what effect the changes had on the Muff.

Unfortunately, I still haven't got the battery clip fixed so Its a pain the arse to run. I'll give a go after lunch

As you can see I couldn't be arsed to didn't have time to get a proper battery clip

It sounds a little weaker than it did. A lot more volume and a tad less gain. Still nicer than it was.

Less distorty and more fuzzy

Hooray, you're so close to contributing.. and yet you haven't highlighted the resistors you've changed with any detail or provided a top down shot so that someone could actually do the modification using these pictures as a guide.

Hello?

It's almost as if he's been talking out of his arse this whole time, isn't it?

nondas · Post by **nondas** » Mon Jun 01, 2009 11:09 am

C'mon mcconnachiea, you've been called out. I think you can do this. I'll give it a shot if your instructions and pics are any good. Nothing does wonders for credibility than a meaningful contribution. Seriously, I have issues at the best of times trying to find out how toilet paper works, so my contributions are writing things like "Yeah, that's cool" which ain't worth shit, so if you can do this mod and do it right you never know...you may earn yourself a little respect. Otherwise, it's all shit talk and then you'll have to learn how to use the bog roll in a new way.
Dew it!!

Sketchy fucker update: this pedal has turned up in the Classifieds over at 0ffset, with no mention at all made of the mods, or the non-functioning battery clip.

Un-fucking-cool.

EDIT: He's also doing a spot of 'people at 0ffset are so easy going compared to ss.org'. Trolltastic.

What are the 0ffset guys saying? someone needs to kick this cunt in the gash HARD.

benecol · Post by **benecol** » Wed Jun 17, 2009 10:27 pm

Mods are pretty good over there, they'll be on it in no time, I'm sure.

I doubt he actually did the mods.

That's as maybe, but there's also the non-functioning battery clip...
