    Mach 1 / Lightspeed

    yep, same method with that style (tayda equivalents) https://www.taydaelectronics.com/flat-cylindrical-5mm-led-lampshade-protector-clear-plastic-clip.html i've found these are just a little bit smaller in diameter than the flatter/flush lens (seen in this build thread), so just have to be extra...

    Mach 1 / Lightspeed

    i tend to drill it a little bit smaller than what will fit (with a step bit), and then gently ream it with a round file until it barely fits, and then the lens just gets pushed/forced in and stays in.

    DEMO Aleph Null 'Troglodyte' Self Oscillating Reverb

    ✅ not gonna lie, this one goes pretty hard for the coin.

    DEMO Aleph Null 'Troglodyte' Self Oscillating Reverb

    🥵 that's a good point though. cos when playing normally, standing up, a bit further away from the amp, i can dial up the feedback a bit more. but while in the middle of doing a demo for this, it took a while for me to notice how much the feedback was ringing through and im like oh fuck no shit...

    💖 Stay Alive ✨ Top Five of '25 💖

    i. Aleph Null Troglodyte Self Oscillating Reverb. - coolest belton / PT2399 reverb i’ve tried yet. - does it all. ii. EQD Tone Reaper / Scythe - haven’t built it yet, but my breadboard build blew my balls off in a magnificent way. - low parts count, only x1 NPN Ge required (leaky is best) -...

    Pyrocumulus / Big Muff cap question

    if you build this with 680pf caps, it's going to be darker. these small value caps (usually 470pf, sometimes 560pf) attenuate harsh high end frequencies. the larger the value, the more of the high end spectrum is going to be attenuated. e.g. a muff with 560pf caps is going to be darker than a...

    DEMO Aleph Null 'Troglodyte' Self Oscillating Reverb

    ay thanks for checking it out 🤙🏻 yeah it’s definitely worth buying a brick if you don’t find one. if i’m honest, i don’t actually follow NFL 😅, but i was given this hat a while ago and found it again the other day are there any other creatively described suggested settings we’re missing out...

    DEMO Aleph Null 'Troglodyte' Self Oscillating Reverb

    cheers 🤙🏻 yeah true there’s a lot going on with this thing. good fun. it’s just as well the momentary switch is there for ‘damp’ mode cos that feedback really wants to run away.

    DEMO Aleph Null 'Troglodyte' Self Oscillating Reverb

    as soon as i heard @Aleph Null ’s demo for this reverb circuit, i knew i had to build it. described as a "versatile reverb capable of everything from short, bright, roomy reverbs, to dark, cavernous, infinite sustain, to full-on self oscillation." - yep, can confirm. IMO this is the ultimate DIY...

    What are the most rugged 1/4" jacks people are using?

    same. FYI - i learned a few months ago that they're actually cheaper from mouser https://mou.sr/4p2AA3l

    1/4W Resistor in 1/8W size?

    yeah gotta check those datasheets. a while ago i ordered some 1W resistors for an amp build and they ended up being 1/4W size. wasn't stoked about it but eh, it happens.

    Awful Waffle 8V2 Zener 1/2W 9.1V substitute

    looks like the 8V2 specified diode is intended to clamp the supply voltage down to 8.2V i'm assuming a 9V1 (9.1v) won't really do anything except clamp it down to 9.1V (assuming the supply is even at or above 9.1v after passing the 220R current limiting resistor) this might make a difference to...
