Suck Knob

[5L1V3R]

Who here has experience with a Suck Knob?  There are loads of 'em on eBay for $20 and they seem like the would be pretty cool, supposing they worked like they say they do.  If I got myself a new JCM900 I think I would get one of these babies to use its full potential...

THIS BAND  needs to turn the "Suck Knob" down.

They're totally concentrating on what they are doing.

I can understand that a "musician" lures himself into thinking he's great, and makes a fool of himself. After all, one is the worst person to honestly judge oneself.

But for christ's sakes this is a band ... I don't get how a member of this hasn't stopped in the middle of a song and told the others "We suck too much, I quit; the band and probably music altogether. We're probably making the worst music ever. Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna get drunk."

Anyway, back to the topic.

I like it, actually! It's like a country-metal band possessed by the band spirit of the Birthday Party!

The singer is the one who gets them up to an 11 on the suck-age scale.

Yeah, I got one of the ones for guitar and put it in my Jazzmaster.  They don't work like they say they do.  I turned it all the way up and my guitar still sounded amazing.  I took it out.

I actually ordered all the parts to build one from Small Bear. It was dirt cheap. Everything is all mocked up and ready to go - I just need to solder it together (first time - gulp! ). I'll let you know if mine works like it should. Hahahaha...
Here's the schematic I used. From what i understand, they're all pretty much the same and cost under $10 to make.

Yeah, it almost "silverfaces" that amp in the link .

I doubt you're gonna have much use for it on a JCM900...you can just turn the master volume down, not?

That band is a spoof, BTW

I would use it to get overdriven tones without turning the volume up to 10.

[Jay]

But the 900 already has a master volume so you can get overdrive tones by turning the [preamp] volume up to 10 no?

[dinosaur]

Yeah you wont be driving the power tubes with that, just the preamp.
