Thank you! Saved me some desoldering!

Hello everyone. Just released the first issue of a new zine called Circuit Punk, featuring schematics, projects and tutorials from the...

this video should shed some light on potential problems even though I'm still not sure what your problem is.

Sorry - There's... a lot to unpack from what you've asked. How about explaining a bit more of the situation.. What's wrong with those...

There's a difference between how a JFET and MOSFET operates and in this instance the MOSFET is NOT being employed as a simple switch...

A BS170 is the same as a 2N7000, a MOSFET but with reversed pinouts. In this application, the MOSFET is not directly in the signal path...

Nope, the module goes on the other side of the pcb atop the ICs. And the Tone pot is flipped 180 degrees to point the same way as the...

Not satisfied with the switching capacities of the 2n7000 or bs170, therefore I want to replace this with a 2n5457, can someone please...

Huh! So you just kinda chip it off with this? I have an old dental tool for this, but it’s a bit too “scrapey”…

I’ve been a solder scraper since you suggested it in a thread about cleaning methods a while back. This knob tightener is just worn...

Curious what tools people are using that while not necessary to build a pedal, you wouldnt want to do it without it. I have a few in...

Deburring tool

This tiny metal awl from a miniature screwdriver set. It is the best tool I've found for removing flux pools and splatter from pcbs.

Uggggh I was afraid of that. Thanks for the heads up- sounds like it’s just not worth it. Kind of a shame, as they do sound really good...
