What's in the mailbox? 📬 📦

We just got back from holiday on Rathlin Island and had a pretty good haul waiting for me.

Some new cables from Award Session. Van damme cable with neutrik connectors

Stompbox Parts order just hit the porch!

Re-stock on: Knobs (Always show up in better condition than the Tayda ones), Neutrik open frame jacks (Cheaper than Tayda!), Belton Bricks (Tayda doesn't carry), and this sweet-ass "Aqua-Vein" 1590bbm (Tayda was out of BBMs). I was initally bummed to have to spend the couple extra bucks on the SBP enclosure, but I'm stoked on this color, and I'm excited to put those red knobs on it.

Those enclosures are an awesome color
 
Coupla gorgeous PCBs courtesy of @tcpoint. Thank you brother.

Intriguing projects I wouldn’t otherwise know about.

VFE Red Wolf. I believe this is a RAT with switchable Turbo mode.
I'm a VFE fan, but this one escaped my radar. Stoked!
Also, unobtanium chippage in the form of an LM308

And a Pelota 2 delay.
Very versatile implementation of the PT2399 delay. Looks to be a Deep Blue Delay plus plus.
Dig the wide range of delay fx, including modulated delay...

Returned from a week at the beach to find all this loveliness. Aion - I'm obligated to build the L4 if only to support the creation of large bass projects. Their other bass pres don't disappoint so I expect it to f@<% just the same. Figured I should do an obelisk since I have a Fuzzdog big cheese laying around. Might box 'em as a cheese source if I enjoy the combo enough. Also a lectric fx space harp/bloodstone to compare, GCI bass brutalist with the N.E.W. CTG and NPN mojo buzzaround. Much to do.

What my local stocks never ceases to amaze me. The mystery silver bag contains 3 LM13700s for my upcoming Aion Redshift build and two LM308Ns (the round metallic ones) just for fun, largely because there's been a flurry of talk about these and their applications in rodent-like builds.

Since I found them round the corner, so to speak, I snagged them. Now there is apparently a rat in my upcoming chicken wing salad, hats off to @steviejr92.

Wow thank you man!!! I’m glad I got you inspired to build a RAT! I used LM356Ns in my build I’ve been wanting to get my hands on those LM308Ns. If I’m correct I believe those are the original opamps that were used right?
 
These lil pots for my Madbean Runt.

Interesting side note! I ordered these from a seller in Great Britain on FRIDAY. They arrived TODAY in Toronto Royal Mail —> Canada Post.

I may be done fucking around with buying parts from the States where it routinely takes 3 or more weeks by mail, if they ever deliver it at all!

JLCPCB. See the details there:


Oh.. by the way..
Oh man, I might move into using that in the future. ~6€ total compared to the ~3-4€ for a 3PDT, but possibly with less popping and less wiring hassle - and possibly cheaper with a larger order.

But I'll test it out with the ones you sent me first to see how it works for me.

A 3PDT costs the same as a SPST from Daier, so pay extra for the cost of the board. I just think they're neat.
