haven't figured out how to wrap the orange vinyl on the two end planks of the board yet- upholstery type work is a fucking black art!

trying to find more info on mods to the VT bass, but most threads are just this one lad pimping all the mods he can do! I can do it myself with a schematic and a few hours off! (want to add a d.i out and a speaker sim kill switch)

also going to mod the filter for better bass player usage
it's getting there!

still playing and loving my Mustang bass that I bought in Jimi's,

I need to go up a guage though as everything we do is tuned to E flat, so the low E is a bit floppy
I'm thinking flatwounds would be nice??

hehe great it's a great little beast so it is, VERY simple circuit inside
pretty sure I may have the schematic for it kicking about on my hard drive if you were interested in making one or having one built (paging Dr Moose?)

anyway it sounds fantastic on bass!

Yeah they're super simple circuits. Based off the Electra Distortion, but minus a single resitor going to ground. Seems to give the circuit a more fuzzy characteristic.

Would love to see your schematics if you have them! I've seen ones for the Melx 2 but from what I can tell, the diodes are diffeent in the Melxowtone and the Melx 2.

If you EVER decide to sell it, please let me know. Been wanting to pick one up for ages. Picked up a Melx 2 and a Clean Chan/Dirty Chan so would love to add a Melxowtone to the collection :)
 
That second link is diy builds which may explain the silicon diodes over the originals which were 1n34a and 1n4001. The Electra itself was two 1n34as so looks like Mellow just went for asymmetric clipping for a change.
 
My new (well, new to me) Aria Pro II PE, fucking love it!
I've decided to christen this one "Elton"
lovely to play and definitely the best bargain I've gotten in a while
