^ Sure! DIY stompbox and DIY surgery: same tools.  You could also use the soldering iron to cauterize.   :icon_eek:

+1 on the 6-in-1 screwdriver. 1 & 2 are large and small straight blade screwdrivers. 3 & 4 are large and small Phillips head screwdrivers.

Don't sleep on 5 & 6: they are the two sizes of nut drivers that the removable screwdriver blades slip into.

Get one of these :


The kind that mounts to a desk like that one.
And preferably the kind that can use a regular bulb, (Cheaper, easier to find and easier to replace) but I dunno how different or efficient one type would have over the other though.
Mine has a regular bulb and it seems to work fine for me.

Some people drink from the fountain of knowledge, others just gargle.

He's hoping he can hammer whatever board he is working on into a 1590a so he can be like you cozy, lol.

Floor-mat at the front entrance to my former place of employment. Oh... the irony.

I assumed the hammer was for RG's technique to get real tube sound into a stompbox.
"I had an unfortunate combination of a very high-end medium-size system, with a "low price" phono preamp (external; this was the decade when phono was obsolete)."
