Well-
I've been thinking about this for many years, since I was 16- so that's 14 years of procrastination for you .
I got a real nice box, "enclosure" that only needs drilling holes for potentiometers/switches.
What I'm thinking of making, is a passive volume/tone box, stomp box sized-
with a 500k volume; "bypass" switch for volume and tone pots-
a tone pot, with a rotary selector for different choices of capacitors.
Aswell as a "foot stomp" on/off switch.
I guess it will cost me 30 dollars or so (plus shipping,).
But I'ts something I've wanted to own, use and accomplish for a long long time.
..
It will be called the "EGA" (Erlend Grønås Audio) Passive Volume/Tone.
I know basic electronics and soldering from school. I'll order the parts from overseas, I think, from a DIY pedal building site.
..
cause, often, I feel like I need to pad down the volume, or highs- somewhere in my signal chain. Using the chassis of my broken DI pedal seems like a good place to start. I could work out the schematics in a couple of minutes.,
Maybe I'll add some extra features; whatever that might be? :o Any suggestions?
I want the main section to be passive, like the vol/tone controls of a guitar. But there is room for a 9V battery, for any active stuff.
Cheers!
