Quick n easy project. Looks classy too in the wood vs the typical metal boxes.

[@adairguitars]

It was fun to have a quicker project!

[@PaoloRS1]

great stuff, nice looking pedal too.

[@adairguitars]

Thanks!

Maybe you could explain clearly that a stereo plug is necessary to operate the tap, on the pedal side… Some people might miss it, because you’re not saying what you do when soldering, and what plug to get.
Anyway, after watching approximately a gazillion videos on the subject, yours is the first in which I understood why it was not working on mine, so thank you.
Nice box BTW 😉

[@danielordonez1]

Nice work! 👏🏻 quick question, can you change or use the tap tempo with the delay off, so you can change the tempo without sound the effect? (So then when you turn it on, sound with the tempo you set before)

[@adairguitars]

Just tried that this morning for you and yes that worked. 👍

[@danielordonez1]

Awesome! thank you so much; I have a flashback 2 too, and I was wondering that, but I don’t have an external tap tempo and knowing this, I’m glad that I can buy one now and do that 🙌🏻

[@danielordonez1]

Hi I got an other question! what type of cable did you used? and how you connected it? I saw videos that you need a TRS to TS cable, but the wiring was different or something like that

[@adairguitars]

I can’t remember exactly without liking it up, but this is the video that I got all the information from. Hope that helps! ruclips.net/video/ZqzRO9X8phI/видео.htmlsi=-HKA3f9NXncV9Lby

[@danielordonez1]

@@adairguitars thanks! actually I did that haha, went with a pedal builder and ask him to make that specific cable and also the tap tempo and worked perfectly, finally I got my own external tap tempo with all the features 🙌🏻

[@adairguitars]

Awesome, glad to hear it!

[@fatpotanga]

Nice one Arran. I made one of those for my Katana and was dead chuffed with it. Now after seeing yours it just seems naff and a bit crap 😂 you need to start building pedals and packaging them in those 🙌

[@adairguitars]

I’m sure yours worked perfectly fine! Will probably do a few more pedal enclosure builds down the track. Might try an A / B switch next.

[@fatpotanga]

@@adairguitars oh yeah, mine works perfectly; yours just makes it looks like I made it out of toilet roll tubes, string and dried pasta 😂

[@bassvibe1039]

hi mate, i recently got flasback 2 for my bass coloring, i have a question for you, i am wondering about the loop section, i want to have the loop playing background and on top of it i want to play delayed sounds, but as soon as a switch from the loop to one of the delay effects, my loop record is going off, is it true with you as well ?

[@adairguitars]

Yeah mine, does that as well. I was hoping that it would do as you’ve suggested, but it seems to be able to do one or the other and not both at the same time.

[@abril8596]

what a great job, friend. When you have soldered the stereo jack, which pin have you left unsoldered: the tip, the ring or the slave? Thank you very much in advance. greetings

[@GuitaraddictsWorkshop]

Great little project, looks great! How do you make those logos?

[@adairguitars]

Thanks! They logos are made on a cri cut machine from an Etsy store that I found.

[@theMisadventuresofaLittleWolf]

Thats a bit sexy. nice work as always.

[@adairguitars]

Thanks! A good use of scrap wood as well.
