[facepalm] See? I should have been memorizing that board layout...you guys think of everything!
 
Quiet, I'm testing through-hole J201s that were only guaranteed for 30 minutes, so it takes concentration.
 
The "quiet" part was a joke...the 30 minute warranty wasn't. :oops:

I wouldn't expect any guarantee on an NOS part.
 
How many to test in 30 minutes though?

10 in 30 minutes?
No sweat!

100 in 30 minutes?
Probably doable, but yikes!

1000 in 30 minutes?
Aww man! Trouble’s a brewing! 😥😥😥

Well, the third one was a dud, so there's that. I stopped when I got to five, then realized I only needed four, so I untested the extra and threw it back in the bin.
 
I have a transistor tester, but not a transistor untester. How much does one of those run you? Sometimes having everything tested is dull— where’s the excitement of mystery in my life? It all went away when I tested my transistors.

Huh? Oh sorry...I was memorizing datasheets. Rigged?

Why, that was the secret word! You win a $98.60 PedalPCB card Phill! :love:

Riggedy-Riggedy!

I got one of those iRig interfaces...I have a Duet somewhere but it's the first iteration and had some firmware issues. Anyhoo....

It comes with the Amplitube software which is great if you want ala-carte modeling. I'm not sure if there are free previews (there should be) but I'll check or someone please chime in.

Mainly, I wanted to feed some online backing tracks to my new headphones (thank you all for your input btw) and also have onboard effects handy, so I'm using an app called ToneBridge. Punch in a song you want your guitar to "mimic", turn on the backing track...and wander the house and yard in your headphones and underwear jamming to your heart's content. Not all setups are great, and it's not "live" whatever that means anymore...but it's fun as hell.

Obligatory edit: Mostly I use backing tracks from yewtube...if anyone has groovy alternatives..I'm all wrinkles....and ears

Got noodle?
