unclej Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 i just ordered a few schottky diodes to try a strawberry ice mod on a regular 6 string and was wondering if any of you had ever tried it on a bass. if so, how did it sound and was there any special sized diode needed/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclej Posted October 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 there's a product on the market called black ice. it's a passive distortion modification. turns out there's just a couple of diodes in it and there's a tutorial here on how to add an on/off/on switch and the author called it strawberry ice. as for why they called it ice to start with..just because it sounded cool i guess.

Executioner606 Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Maybe because stewmacs is kinda shaped like an icecube and because its black ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 (edited) I think, way back, the originals were potted in black epoxy in a plastic ice tray, hence the ice cube shape and the original name.
