What's in the mailbox? 📬 📦

[jwin615]

A case half case of earl and filters for the mower so I'm ready(don't forget) come spring time.
Box has a side blown out so unsure if the seller didn't ship them or there are random bottles of Kohler 1030 scattered across the country. The world may never know. I forwarded my damages claim to Bezos and Bezos.


Also some goodies from electronics goldmine. Not the most recent order(they take a while).
The TN6705A are amazingly tight tolerances. Very excited to try the t-funk BC239Bs.

My black Friday haul arrived! I'm very excited to announce I received my first PedalPCB guitar pick!

Other than that, my first stacked PCB in the ElectroVibe mini, and the usual suspects as well.

The radio that I ordered last week still hasn't arrived yet but I saw another super cheap one on Ebay that no one had bid on. Would have been rude not to order this for £10, fingers crossed some of these are useful.

They really flew by the seat of their pants back in the day when it came to PCB tidiness!

Man this isn't even the worst. Some of the radios I've looked at over the last week are really shocking.

"Here's a box, here are the dimensions, here's where we want the knobs, just use the space however you…"

Oh this is starting to sound like pedal building. Good thing we have good board designers to keep us all in line

They probably didn't have people in the workshop shouting "no guts, no glory" everytime they finished one either!

Too bad, if they did they'd have looked a lot better.

This 11/11 order just in.
More 11/11 coming in, later; transistors n bits.

HBBTM.





Gone Queue Later.

Foam is glued to back of PCB. After I rehouse this thing, I might keep the enclosure and drill top jacks, fill in the sides and stick a 5-knob something or other in there with relay bypass where the battery goes.

Strip the paint job or keep it?

Might be fun to keep it, mess with friends / bandmates (if I ever get some again) with a "RingMod" on my DB board. Compressor, Fuzz, EQ... who knows what evil lurks inside the Bambi Modulator Ringmod? Mwahhhhahhaha...

Also got my deer ringer. Fun one, sounds exactly like a gonkulator which is no real surprise but still nice to confirm

I might need to bite the bullet and buy one… then maybe I won’t have to spam up the gonkulator thread as much…. Maybe

The USPS took forever to deliver it, but the enclosure I bought from @steviejr92 is finally here. And it looks amazing! Thank you man, it’s very exciting to be able to build a truly unique pedal. Now back to the laboratory!

I really dont know what goes on with USPS....Well at least it got there safe!

The mailman probably peeped inside the package and stole it cuz it was such a nice enclosure.... then he realized he had a massive backlog of pcbs to build with UV printed tayda enclosures so he delivered it a few weeks late... maybe

FWIW it seems they're still running the "4€ off every 20€" at least for me (says until the 29th, but don't know about times and timezones).

I'm still skipping it personally though since I don't think I can use a ring mod.

Man, best I can find is like 50€ with shipping. Although I guess taxes do make up a big chunk of that, so maybe it's similar pricing.

New monitors.

Still a lot of adjusting, leveling, and cable routing to do... and there's going to be more of an adjustment period than I expected.

Whatcha say we get on some build docs now? (well, after this Black Friday chaos is settled)
