I miss my old Garnet mini-bass combo. Thing sounded so clean and pure, built in trem, gahhh. It was the rarer "controls on top" model, too. G90T.

I've been looking for a Garnet Cat's Ass amp for forever.

That was wayyyy harder than it looked 
I finally got the stand on and now I have to assemble the cnc back gauge and I’m all done!

Rassinfrassin masking tape…
I actually did do a test on some scrap with kapton/polyimide tape. Sadly my default settings barely go beyond the tape :/ it is crisp looking, but the time factor for such a smol laser. Also leaves weird debris everywhere.

I just moved to a new house and I’ve got few workbenches in mangarage and pile of house tech around dwellings on my workbench.
First thing I noticed was HVAC running bit too fast, making some extra noise and airflow could be felt. Hooking computer into it and reading control unit schematic revealed there might be incorrect installation on internal combined RO%/CO2 sensor. There’s three ports RO%, CO2 and combined, so sensor most likely hooked to wrong port as only RO% is readable.
Second one is getting front door lock working as it’s a electrical one and won’t accept set up atm. Luckily it locks and unlocks, but I cannot access settings nor code change. I’ve been using the side door with traditional mech lock so far. Hope electrical one gets working without contacting manufacturer.
Third is coaxing an ethernet cable from house to garage via along pipe leading to the heat pump. Gets me bit nervous as I haven’t done this type of coaxing before and distance is about 20m.
There’s also loads of work with setting up workbenches, organizing hooks, shelves and containers for tools, components and parts. And yeah, how about yard and garden?

Full DIY build. Due to the shortage of 125B cases I switched to TEKO B4 (1mm aluminium),
which are slightly larger. Spray paint sticks much better on them too. I guess this is the
beginning of a long lasting friendship. Feel free to suggest matching knobs.

That’s a cool enclosure. I assume it’s only available in Europe?

I'd use a soft-touch relay system instead of a 3PDT in that, or you might be muttering:

The other half of these TEKO cases has folded edges that stabilize the whole case.
But indeed, most foot switches could be softer.

...and awaaaaay we go
I have an unwholesome number of NuTube devices. First one was a keyboard amp, didn't even realize what I was buying. Curiosity kills.
Had the Vox mv50 lunch box heads, modded them, sold them. Now I have the 4 valvenergy preamps. 2 nutekt power tube reactors. A Volca Nubass.
I bought some for raw experiments, and was delighted to find the NuDrive board. Scrematic looks suspiciously tubescrem-ish at points... So tubescrem green it is.
Hmmm maybe Excalibur tle2072s just to be obnoxious?

if'n you are curious what the NuTube keyboard amp sounds like and how it could send a rational human being into such delusion, well, here.
The bass synth ( sh-101 clone ) heard through the body of the song, and one other part ( swell synth at beginning and crescendo ) were run through the amp and mic'd with a cheapo large diameter condenser, off axis. ( Neewer?) fwiw guitar was run through the MV50AC that I do not have any more.

Finalized...

I'm trying Fama's approach, populating a few boards at a time in stages, and currently stuffing some resistors into compressor PCBs.
Things are already out of control — ie perhaps too many boards in one sitting?

That's how I roll too. Takes the sting out of failure when you have 4 working circuits sitting next to it (unti the day you bork all 5...) I have much more motivation to troubleshoot this way.
