there still is no build document for it AFAIK. when i built it, i searched on here for other builds of it and remember finding one of the unpopulated board. regardless, i do seem to remember that the board you get when you order it has the component values on it. so here is the schematic and the...

I'm asking because I genuinely don't know the answer: would the modulation improve by insulating around the LED/LDR pairs?

I've been on a vero kick lately and decided that I wanted to find a use for some 1590a enclosures that I have laying around. I found a group of 1-knob fuzzes that included a Meathead and figured that was perfect. So far I have loved all the D*A*M stuff that I've built. Recommended transistors...

Thanks! I’ve found a lot more success with direct application of the glue to the decal rather than the enclosure. Still dialing in exact timing of the initial bake but getting pretty good results at this point.

Breadboarded this out last week and finally got around to finishing it/boxing it up today. Really happy with how this one turned out. The 16b germ is a bit more gain that most recommend (74hfe) but I tested a ton of transistors including about 10 2n404s in the right gain range but liked the...

Yeah. My printer has a “HQ 1200DPI” setting that I use.

Nope…😔

Thanks! I have a stash of PNPs I was just finding uses for. I have NPNs as well but was intrigued by being able to wire the PNPs for a normal (isolated) power jack. Mostly just wanting to learn and understand what is going on…

I assumed so but it’s quiet until I turn down the volume so I wasn’t sure if it had to do with the wiring to negative ground. It’s just a normal FF

hi everyone. i breadboarded a PNP FF to positive power and have a question: when the guitar volume is rolled all the way off, there is quite a lot of static/hiss that comes through but isn't otherwise present when the volume is up. i was wondering if this is something related to the powering...

i tried the GW-1 Pro on a powder coated enclosure from LMS. applied glue directly to the decal rather than the surface of the enclosure, baked at 225F for 10 minutes, cooled completely and transfer was perfect. i have since done three additional bare aluminum enclosures with perfect transfers...

after building the pro-10 (protein) earlier today, I finally started on my collection of cornish stuff. i prepped enclosures with the film free toner transfers and started with the Nugget (NG-2). the description i read was that it was the sound of a Muff into a Tone Bender which are pretty much...

I have looked at this empty PCB for a while now and decided to give it a go this weekend. Second only to the Shallow Water build, the populating of this one was laborious but pretty straightforward. As you will no doubt notice, the drill template that i used for the Paragon was great for the...

I wondered that too… as I dutifully soldered the two 5Ms together

100%!! HA HA!!
