Installed a Bigsby on the LP Special

I've always wanted a Bigsby-equipped guitar, so I finally bit the bullet here. I have to say, this isn't quite as straightforward as a normal LP, and I've discovered that I need to widen the nut slots because the tuning stability is horrendous lol. But it's fun!

Product Manager looking to move to UX. Is there any hope?

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a little perspective on a UX career direction change. Currently, I'm a global product manager for a large consumer goods supplier (a market leader in our category). I have an industrial design background, with a master's in marketing (specializing in market intelligence and strategy). I also recently built and launched an online marketplace for musicians, handling strategy, design, coding/execution, marketing, content creation, and customer support entirely myself. It's been a fun passion project, but it's also made me realize how much I miss designing and being a real problem solver. I dont feel my current professional work as a PM is right for me (largely due to the company I work for, but it's also just the general trend of corporate PM life).

I've fallen in love with the UX side of trying to build out, improve, and grow this online platform. It's made me realize that I think I would prefer to do this professionally (and I understand, very well, what working in a large organization would be like and how different that would be compared to a passion project). I'm not sure if there's any hope for me to make a transition into UX, though, given that I'm 36, my background is rooted in PM work, my design work is not specifically digital-based, and I also have a company of my own with no UX credentials other than this platform.

I'm considering taking something like the NN/g cert program or the UX Institute diploma program, but they are costly (both in time and financially), and given market sentiment...I'm not sure that it will give me much of a better chance. Looking for any input, advice, or thoughts on this situation. Thank you!

Any Prophecy Sounds Pi-Phase experts or circuit detectives that can help me?

I recently bought this mkI Pi-Phase, but the volume drop once the effect is actually on is pretty steep. I tried asking Mike at Analogman, who briefly sold and supported these, but he doesn't remember much about them.

There's a bunch of trim pots inside, and I'm wondering if one of these is for an output volume adjustment. The company is out of business, and there's not a lot of info out there about these. Curious if anyone here is familiar with this circuit or is able to help at all.
