What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

Monday I went to look at a ‘66 Chrysler Windsor convertible, and bought it. Same stock colour as the one I have already.

Yesterday I picked it up.

So now I’ve got two “identical boats” that are each over 18’ long.

You’re going to need a bigger garage.

The trailer I borrowed belongs to my friend with the 59 Meteor, which was ready to be picked up from the Sand-Blaster.

After dropping him, his car & trailer off, I swung by Cacklefest:

Tried to upload a clip of this beast fired up, but the vid wouldn’t load.
‘Twas…

LOUD

Plus a bunch of other cool (gas) pedals with cars attached.

Twas a llllonnnnggg day, but great.

Also on my (laptop’s) bench today, the Fig New-Tone EQ schematic — trying to figure out how to add another band…

Daaaaammn that’s bad ass man.
 
I feel like I slightly abused Tayda by giving them a slightly different artwork for each enclosure. To their credit, they got it right(y)

I'll complete these 10 and that's it. My years (decades?)-long obsession with the Rockman sound is finally satisfied, gotta move on.

EDIT: If you have OCD, don't look too closely. Once you see it, you can't unsee it ;)

Karaoke Chorus. Really hard to see the labels, hate working with 1/8W resistors, love how roomy and thick the pads are, solder flows really well.

Didn't have a 13k for R8 and forgot I could connect a 12k and 1k in series so I just used a 12k. It's in a voltage divider so the voltage drops a bit. I hope it doesn't cause issues.

Now there are some cap values I don't have, I'll see if I can connect caps in parallel in the pads.

If anybody could go ahead and confirm that the 12k won't mess with the circuit too much, yeah that'd be great, m'kay?

Here's the full schematic, look for R8 and here's a screenshot. Is 12k ok or should I desolder and use 13k? Thanks
