What's on the workbench?

You can use this:

Or you can use a jumper wire like I did.

@Robert - thanks, I sure didn't see that little SMD inductor!! So I am guessing that the toroidal choke in the original is for removing high frequencies from the 9V supply. Wow, that looks like Strymon does a very fancy build - high quality pots, what looks to be a relay, etc. Anyway, again many thanks!

ps: Mouser has a TDK 680µH inductor, part # B82141A1684J000, that works as well.

Standing diode?!? Clutching my pearls!

But! No build doc needed
Drill template? Yeah but also nah
Measuring parts? Do as I say not as I do!

… gotta get through the rest of the video for more takeaways.

White washer for the win

This is why leaf spring sockets get a bad rap....

It can only be attributable to human error.

Nah, this isn't the sockets fault, it's stupid builders that are bad.........

Shocked to see how little fetches such a high price tag, but it's also not that surprising.

I see what appears to be a 1S1588, but that other white/black diode is the same glass diode they've used in the SOV-2 and others that (to my knowledge) hasn't really been identified yet by the DIY community. Did you happen to throw it on your meter to check its characteristics? I'm curious...

Thanks for finally digging into it @Robert!

I haven't yet. It reminds me of the ones we used to call "damper diodes" in the horizontal deflection circuit of CRT televisions.

Thanks for this! I dont do Tayda but am all over Mouser. I looked before but its tricky to navigate. Thanks again

Oh yeah, I wasn't blaming the socket.

I don't think it would have made it here without falling out if had been a machined socket.


After seating/reseating though I will say, the IC was secure. I can't get it to seat completely flush but it's definitely not going to fall out. This at least appears to be a higher quality socket than I typically use.

That's what this was. I'll have to see whats in the standard version next.

No Voltage trimmer beside the OUT jack externally.

Yep, I believe the voltage is switched between 9V input and fixed 14.5V or something like that.

I'm curious about what opamp/clipping diodes are used in the "drive module", and whether or not it still uses the same OPA2604 in the other spot.
