thanks! this one would have been tuned to drop C. just with 10-52 strings. do it 🤟🏻🤟🏻 it’s an awesome drive. i don’t think so. films caps are 100v and most of the ecaps would have been 35V minimum. if not 50V. i can’t remember exactly. running it with a 12V supply over a normal 9V just...

not a new piece, but new to me. hit me like a tonne of bricks

after seeing the schematic(s) in chuck bones’ thread and hearing something about this EHX Germanium OD circuit supposedly starting out as a test bed for germanium PNPs - i was curious to check it out: picked an MP20 out of a bag marked 58-60hfe. pretty quick and small circuit, but i’ll admit...

well, dudes using AI.. tells you everything.

brilliant execution. looks great. that lamp tho 👌 legit. it's so easy to use. this is great to know, cos i skipped kester entirely. been using the 63/37 version of this stuff since march last year after @Nostradoomus 's recommendation.

speaking from the experience of building an LP and a firebird with a kit - as fun as it is building a kit guitar and having the opportunity/satisfaction to finish a project like that, ultimately the result will likely be underwhelming, as a kit guitar probably just isn't going to be as precise...

Fuzz Foundry Gnat Fuzz Also (although these don't require PNP germaniums, they're pretty good for doom) Noctis Fuzz 410 Fuzz DAFT Fuzz (sheepylove)

after seeing @MichaelW ‘s build report for the Ultisol Distortion - i knew i’d have to get it on the breadboard asap, and i did this week and finally captured it tonight. wasn’t a big fan of the weird diode clipping arrangement so i just replaced it with a couple red LEDs, sounded better to...

no worries 🤙🏻 i chose 4559s as they’re a very close substitute, with nearly identical specs. i didn’t realize this until last year when i saw it mentioned in an aionfx build doc: ‘The 33178 is an older op-amp, still readily available in SMD format but nearly impossible to find in DIP. We...

the Noctis Fuzz is here! (keeley moon op amp fuzz) w/ 2x RC4559 tbh i didn’t really have any expectations or anything, but i was keen to check it out, and as it turns out - this is probably the sickest opamp muff/fuzz i’ve tried yet. i compared it against an ehx V5 opamp muff build, and a...

interesting... not sure about the zonk specifically, but: the 'Gary Hurst' version of the MkI has this 33K: but the 'Sola Sounds' version MkI omits this resistor completely (as does the Tone Vendor MkI) so yeah I guess it does seem kinda ludicrous for that value to be so low at 3K3. seems...

not a PCB, but they're there. https://diy-fever.com/misc/the-ultimate-power-supply/ initially built it just like the schematic above about 5 years ago into an old flour tin (before i discovered tayda exists) and it works brilliantly (12V and 9V outputs). then i replaced the L7809 and squeezed...

continuing on with the DS-1 saga, once again, curiosity has gotten the better of me... so the other day i saw a 1991 DS-1 for just aud$79 at cashconverters (local online pawn franchise). i don't need it. i tried to be good, and ignored it for a week or so. eventually gave in. here it is vs...

+1 same. i first got the idea when i saw your builds. and i feel its absolutely worth it when shit goes wrong. yes desoldering isn’t hard, but when you’re at that stage of the build and getting thrown by an error, being able to just pull the whole thing out is pretty valuable and absolutely...

depends on the circuit. and depends on the stripboard layout design. some designs are shit. some are good. but overall, not a huge difference IME. as above. breadboard builds are usually the most prone to noise vs. stripboard (vero) or PCB build as above. it depends. stripboard is a lot more...

haha ya gotta go to the build reports for those 🤙🏻
