hell yeah. this is the way. i should probably do it this way too, but i’m deranged and insist on using virgin components for final builds

confirmed. i was sold fake OPA2134PAs (wasn't aware until a problem showed up later). emailed them about it. they conceded and gave me 'refund' credit.

i'll either make a post about it somewhere here, that i can then refer back to later, or ill just write some notes in a little booklet/pad. photographs of breadboard builds have also proven to be quite valuable to me during moments of 'wtf is going on here' / 'what did i do?' usually this is...

yeah idk, once it looks like you've cut a significant groove. both sides. yes. i will often use pliers. mostly because the pliers help with applying even pressure across the plane when attempting to snap

yes. after a few scores / cutting a minor groove with a blade, you should be able to just snap them apart like a cracker

only until I've finished the actual final build of the pedal that the breadboard build/circuit inspired in the first place. yep, pretty much. i will rebag the 'used' components to reuse again and again specifically for breadboard builds. this one. The mini version was my first breadboard rig...

ay thanks 🤟🏻 yep, it’s this one: there’s a couple different versions on that page - this is the larger one at the bottom of his post. as you’ve probably seen, his build method/intention involves using slightly different 9mm pots to mount the board on the side of a 1590B. i meant to order that...

yep this is pretty much what i’ve seen happen again and again whenever im breadboarding with germanium transistors, even when accounting for idle bias voltages etc.

earlier this year i finally took the time to breadboard this fantastic fuzz circuit and just went with a pair of MP20 pnp units (cos they’re large and easy to handle) and i was immediately impressed with just the standard thick fuzz face sound it does with the controls in ‘normal’ positions. i...

heckin brutal. sounds more aggressive than a HM-2 i reckon. could be a really good boost/drive for some slamming chugs

breadboard it and find out 🤷‍♂️

no worries, appreciate the feedback 🤙🏻 good to see my findings might have some value beyond just a one off build

since i got a pm asking about the layout - for completeness of the thread/op - here’s an annotation of the layout i used with corrections/mods - 470K input pulldown resistor is deleted - i decided to use the space for an mlcc 100n filter cap (104) - at the 10uF input cap, the 39K meets along...

i was always impressed by the Ritual fuzz when i was trying out 1-knob fuzz face variants, so when i came across the Oath - and then the Destroyer - i was quite intrigued by the lineage/associated variants. [Oath = Revelation SuperBass w/ fixed/no controls = Pharaoh w/ no tone circuit & final...

looks like they have a nice wood oven bakery, but not sure it's worth the 4 hour drive

lmao
