I've tweaked mine a few times. One I have for myself has an extra board on it for a bass boost. Didn't really like how the input caps sounded when I increased it too much. Just got kind of muddy!

Yea, keeping these two and my new one kinda stock. I think this will be my 4th tone machine just for myself. Ridiculous.

Good idea, Nic. I love how your FTMs look! I have been wanting to try FTMs with fatter input and output caps. I'm gonna nix the variable clipping control for these two, couldn't find a good enough spread to make it worth an extra control. Maybe I'll add a toggle for a fatter input cap.
You know I love that bass!

That'd be awesome!

Your (my new!) tone machine destrooooooooys!!!! And that's just through a yba1a and a single 12". I will go deaf when I send it through all my 15's.
The si/ge option is awesome. They both sound great. The silicon alone is super brutal. The germanium makes the fm2 you made me sound even crazier when stacked. Super pumped! Thanks !

Awesome, my friend! Please report more. Especially how you like the octave on bass!

Elevenstring's FTM rehouse. He's got a tight board and I had circuit board bolts coming out of the sides. Also had to give more space between jacks. Looks better than the original one so I'm glad we decided to do it...

Jean and his 125Bs :)

I think you have scaled your aesthetic really nicely - it doesn't have quite the same visceral impact of your big box stuff but looks equally as good. Nice!

That is a good name for a band. It will consist of 125 bassists each playing a 1 string bass.

Pedals by LaoWiz. Top mounted jacks, of course.
