Got the pcb today from the code fig generously posted. With how backed up tayda is I probably won’t be able to build this for a bit.
 
Yah, it's pretty nuts, but......everyone raves about it, and I love my Phase II.....so more is better right? :ROFLMAO:
now I know why the MBP version uses a quad TL074 setup...

Swyse, if you're not in north america this info may be pointless but I was able to get LDR's from smallbear, only thing I knew to be currently out of stock is the 9203 and they list the resistance range for what they carry.

@swyse Where are you located? If you're missing the LDR's I used GL5516's that I got off Amazon and they work great in mine.

I appreciate the advice and offer! I'm in the US, but I actually only have the LDR currently haha. I'm waiting on the enclosure and pots mainly. I usually don't stock any enclosures or pots so that's always the hold up when I start a new project. I don't mind the wait because in the mean time I'm doing more recycling and having a blast!

Well fwiw, my Tayda order came in normally, but I did not have any enclosures on this order. I'm trying like crazy to not order anything until I work down my "inventory".....but I seem to be using a lot of B100k, A100k and B10k pots in my builds lately, oh and of course footswitches, that I've come to get exclusively from Tayda anymore.

I have to put in another order for another project without enclosures so hopefully that order comes in a hurry! A few people have reported delays on their enclosures, I'm not sure exactly what part of the process is slowing things down but my order from the 17th just has one box powdercoated so far. I actually found I have a few A100k and B100k kicking around from when I was building a lot of big muffs, I'm going to be putting them to work while I wait for the rest of my parts.

What switch are you favoring from tayda? My favorite tayda switch is the red 1.1kgf light force one currently, I find it feels a little nicer for desktop clicking, and about the same for stomping on.

I believe that's the same ones I've been using. 1kg click red for like $2.30? That's the best deal I've found do far for a premium feeling soft clock 3dPT. I also ordered some of their Switchcraft Open jack clones that were like .92. I used a set in a build last night and really like them. They may become my new goto.

Edit: These are the footswitches I've been using. I love them! Just the right balance of "feel", "quality" and "cost".

What’s in the bo…

… envelope?

Who the hell’d send a crushworthy tube in an envelope?

Hmmm … bubble-wrap, and tape… holy sheep-dip that’s a lotto bubbles…

... and tape, and more tape, and... when the [🧻:poop:🚽🪠] does this taper off?

Ah, okay there is a box after all, that's mega-tightly taped up... Wonder if it's a dead tube inside, buncha broken bits...
Gather round everyone!

It looks just like a Telefunken EF86.

Does it work?

So, another Sushi Surprise!?

Ordered some boards during Brian’s sale, which arrived yesterday (nearly two months waiting time). Basically I got three boards for the price of two but must now wait a bit longer for some of the more exotic parts (BBDs, CA3140, NE570, 240pF mica caps, and so on) to arrive from Europe and CabinTech. So I’m getting the respective BoMs together in no haste (measure, label, tick off, and so on). Will keep the collective informed as to progress … eventually, in the fullness of time, later rather than sooner, and so on. Meanwhile please feel free to go build something (tries not looking in @MichaelW’s direction but fails miserably) 😃
