Just wanted to share something neat – this is a short video from History Channel on how vinyl records are made. Incidentally, all the Ruby Dee and The Snakehandlers (including our latest release Rockabilly Playground) and DRAGSTRIP Â 77 LP’s are made right at this very plant in California, named Rainbo Records.

Latest Build: BYOC Tremolo
Latest project – working on the BYOC Tremolo. I’ve tested it out, the device sounds great, and it should be a nice addition to my pedalboard. The enclosure is being hand painted by local artist Josh Nichols – he’s pretty darn awesome and I’m excited to see what he’s going to come up with. If you note on the images, I haven’t finished the heatshrink and the 9v DC plug is not connected as it gets attached to the chassis at final assembly. I’ll post pics of the finished product when I have it fully assembled. In the meantime, here’s some pictures of the build.

I finally got to it today after a few months and here’s my results for my ideal setup:
