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!!

I have been using the Kester K100d which was (from what I read) supposed to be as close to lead solder and the lead-free stuff gets and melts as a lower temp. I’ve seen suggestions to use more flux with it too. But the increased effort required makes me not want to use it…

So I tried lead-free Kester for about the last week. I’m running the iron from 685F-700F and I hate the lead free stuff. Just doesn’t run/flow as well as the leaded stuff. I know there are folks on here who use it. Is there something that I’m missing? Any hints for making this better? I use the...

write with a dry-erase marker over the sharpie and the sharpie will come off. One of my favorite tricks.

Put together a test box today for building Fuzz Faces/Mk1.5 Tone Benders. Put the on/off toggle on a charge pump daughter board and then a switch for +9v/-9v depending on transistors.

So spent today building the P-2 board that arrived yesterday. Have always been curious about the Cornish pedals so I figured it was worth a go. As you can see, things went sideways in a couple of areas… First, I’ve been using the 3pdt board with LED on it lately and really like it. I don’t...
