As always, Aaron does a great job and I would love to own some of his pedals when the funds get better. At the moment, I simply can't afford any of his stuff :smileysad:

$165 is a steal for the build quality (and toanz) involved here.

Re: ARC Effects B3 buzzaround demo (Aaron SS content)

Sounds awesome. Are they really only $165? That's pretty crazy actually. I'm pretty sure guys (myself included) would pay $200 for a nice fuzz even without fancy ass aesthetics. Nice demo HiwattenthusiastRobert

I might have to see if Aaron can make me a good Klone in a smaller enclosure than he normally does... LOVE the look of his pedals.

Re: ARC Effects B3 buzzaround demo (Aaron SS content)

Appears there's a resistor (1ohm?) in place of a wire on the switch. Shouldn't make a bit of difference, really. I suspect it could be because Aaron uses stranded wire and a piece that size at high temp to solder to the switch would probably have its insulation melted off, thus risking a short since its stranded wire. The resistor cant short to the middle lug because it's insulated there. Just a guess.

It's a zero ohm resistor (jumper)

??? Middle pole isn't used. Jack in goes to middle lug of the left pole, top lug of left pole goes to board, bottom lugs of left and right poles are jumpered, middle lug of right pole goes to out jack, top lug of right pole goes to board. When on, top two lugs are connected, when off, bottom two lugs are connected. Standard true bypass wiring. Personally, it's not the way I'd do it (I always ground the in so I don't need pull down resistors) but it's the "standard" way to wire a bypass switch without an LED.
