Actually, it works well even if the effects are not 100% wet. I typically set the delay or reverb to less than 50% on the effect and 50% on the voxbox

Thanks for the idea - I'll definitely kick it around with my beta testers

Us as well! Stay tuned for details

Hi there, I'm actually full time on pedals with my company Mayfly Audio. Regarding your rockman, it's probably best if you found someone local to your area to look at it. Anything that's fixable is pretty straightforward, and the things that are not fixable (replacing the unobtainable delay chips) no one can fix anyway :)

Nope. I actually don't like how that chip sounds, so I used a different IC.

@@mayflyamp I hear ya there, mostly agree. Keeley uses it a lot, the Aurora Reverb pedal might be the best to be had from it and it is quite nice for what it is. Seems a lot of mostly analog pedals are wedging a DSP solution for reverb into their designs. I am happily amazed by it.

Hi Brad, only the reverb is DSP. Everything else is analog, including the preamp amp sim, power amp sim, and the speaker sim.

@@mayflyamp Cool!

Hi there, I did this repair years ago so this is completely from (fuzzy) memory. Seems to me that they were #6 pan-head 1 inch wood screws. YMMV.

@@mayflyamp Thank you. I found my Rockman after years of being stored in the attic. I had the screws out because I was repairing it

Hi there, Sadly I don't have time for this type of repair these days. To busy with my pedal company. I recommend that you find someone local to you to have a look at it.

Hi there! I sure could, but it's probably better to find a repair person local to you. I'm getting pretty busy these days with my pedal company.

@@mayflyamp oh I understand, the problem is I just wouldn’t know where to look 😅

Thanks! Regarding the spring, adjusting it depends on which type you have. On a Parsons-White bender, the spring is attached to the body with a screw. To tighten it you take the spring off the screw and re-locate the screw further to the back of the guitar. Then re-install the spring. Don't forget to drill a pilot hole for the screw. I find that moving the screw 1/2" is plenty. On a Parsons-Green bender, the spring is attached to a little hook that's bolted to the underside of the bender mechanism plate. To tighten it, you take off the plate (don't forget to remove the b-string), remove the spring, then carefully bend that little hook in to the back of the guitar. With this method you'd probably only get 1/4", but that still may work. Watch out! In both mechanisms, that spring is REALLY STIFF. Be careful when removing and installing it. Wear something over your eyes to prevent that spring from whipping around and daging you in the face when it slips of of your pliers when you're trying to re-install it. Don't ask me how I know...

Hi there, Well the KTR was a repair, so it's back to it's owner (who sold it shortly afterwards). I sold the Centura as well, but before I did the experience inspired me to design my first overdrive pedal: the Mayfly Open Window. It's my new go-to. The guy who owned the KTR now uses one as well. So the truth is I ditched them and made something better.

Hi there. I'm sorry but I have no idea. The mics have long gone back to their owner so there is no way for me to check.

@@mayflyamp Okay. Thank you!

I was wondering the same thing. Also having an expression pedal input would really open up more control and possibilities

Hi guys, the way the pedal is designed, no you can't. However, if your reverb pedal has a tails feature, you could disengage the reverb pedal itself instead to let the tails go on. I figured this was the more flexible option.

Thanks man!

Thanks Anthony! The transistors are NPN silicon! The secret to making it sound good is in the circuit design itself. BTW, if you wanted to play with the tone a bit, there is a bias trimpot inside the pedal. Please note where it's set before you tweak it though...

Hi there, I can't remember the part number off hand, but I give it in the video. As to where it came from, my buddy Bill (a professional electronics buyer) found it. He's not telling where!

@mayflyamp lol. He must be selling them or repairing using them. My background is electronics and know I will find them somewhere

Hi there, thanks for your comment. Turns out that there already is a Mayfly pedal that does what you're looking for - the Mayfly Sketchy Zebra. You just run it in Vibrato mode and it does a perfect warped record effect. Sounds great in phaser mode as well :) here's a link: mayflyaudio.com/SketchyZebra/

Sweet! I think they have one at spaceman so I'll take a trip in there and pick it up when I can. I always wanna find ways to support local artists!@@mayflyamp

@@SassyTesla Thanks! BTW, I don't think that Spaceman has one anymore - phone them to make sure. Fairly sure that the other mayfly dealers have one including Steves, Lauzon, and Cicada.

Hi Orpheo! Good to hear from you. The one problem with the glue joint aside, I'm happy to say that this guitar's neck is straight, it's well put together, and it plays well.

@@mayflyampThat was, fortunately, the only problem here, but it could/should have been prevented by installing the 'wings' in a groove instead of that butt-joint. The Crimsons I had had beautiful woods but the craftsmanship just wasn't there. Think, splitting tops because they weren't glued properly, tearout in the wood solved with sawdust and superglue, etc.

Hi there, I made my own. Hipshot does sell a template for this kit, but you might not like the price.

Well, depends on where you are and if there are some good electronics tecs nearby. You'll need someone who is part electrical engineer and part watchmaker with these things. The power supply should be easy to fix. The problem with one channel missing would be much harder to debug. However, my money is on a bad electrolytic coupling cap in the signal path somewhere.

Audio guy isn't using a dedicated mic!

Hi Tim, I think it works great with bass. But - for you to really know, you need to go to one of my dealers and ask one of the staff to try it out. If you let them know it's for a gift and you don't play the instrument, I'm sure they will accommodate you and play bass through it.

Thank you! When I made the template I didn't think to put the bender screw holes on the template. The template holes all end up covered anyway so I didn't think too much about it.

Hi, er, user-km3hj7ge8m, (am I talking to a bot here?), the kit does not come with a template. It does come with a full sized drawing to make your own. I made mine over 10 years ago. I believe that hipshot sells a lexan template, but it's not cheap.

@@mayflyamp No I'm not a bot... I'm just more creative with my username than you are, but thank you for the info about the template, or lack there of...😶

short answer is no. enough material is removed to compensate for the extra weight of the mechanism.

I made my own, but recently I found that hipshot offers a template. It's not cheap though. hipshotproducts.com/collections/guitar-string-bending/products/parsons-green-routing-template
