DrNomis_44's Gold Standard STA-1M Build.

cheers Doc, I was hoping the pedal was related to Hendrix - Axis Bold as Love album - it's a wee ripper

can't wait to hear the pedal once it's built Doc, if I like it I'll have a crack at building one

No worries, I did manage to get all the parts I needed to build the pedal, I'm going to be documenting the build in my FX Pedal thread, with pics so you can see how I built it, I'll also post a list of the parts with the Jaycar Cat. numbers next to them so you can find them easily in your local Jaycar Electronics shop.


I have to say that I'm a bit of a Hendrix fan, at one stage I had all of his first three albums on CD, and a few years ago I bought a copy of his most recent posthumous album, Valleys Of Neptune, it contains some re-workings of his best known songs.

sounds good Doc I'll follow the pedal thread.
I've got a copy of Valleys of Neptune and a good collection of other Hendrix tunes, mainly mp3 collection

For some strange reason, I find that Jimi Hendrix's music is really good to listen to if you want something to listen to while chilling out at home, I guess it's partly the Blues and 60's Psychedelia influences in his music that helps.

don't need a strange reason to chill to Hendrix Doc, you are slowly creeping toward page 73 haha

[FrankenWashie]

Haha...yep, I am determined to get to 100 pages, even if I end up losing my nah-nah in the process....lol.

I must learn how to play it all the way through, I can manage the first few notes up to when Hendrix does that big string bend.

They once asked Hendrix what its like to be the best guitarist in the world? his reply was " I don't know ask Rory Gallagher"

That just shows how humble Jimi Hendrix was, I watched a youtube video of him being interviewed on the Dick Cavett show, Dick Cavett asked him a question about being the best guitarist in the world, and Hendrix got all embarassed and said "How about the best guitarist sitting in this seat?", I think that sums it up.

[wokkaboy]

haha Doc I looked for the interview Tony talked about and just watched the same Dick Cavett interview
