I do, usually. Either a pour or as traces. I've done it both ways.

IMO, it makes sense to use trimmers if you are trying to achieve a specific bias voltage because that value may not be a common one for a fixed resistor. This kind of ignores that bias in germanium devices will drift with temperature, though. If you really want to be a super fancy pants kind of...

The peak detection circuit and decay have already been discussed. But would a variable resistor in place of R9 allow for some useful "attack" control?

The single ended version looks very promising. Great work, Chuck!

Big Nasty Clang is a perfect summary of the Brassmaster. Some go-getter should do a version with added expression pedal control. Not me, though.

I do regret selling my OG Tim I bought from Paul. The DIY versions I've built have all be great but I have a sentimental attachment to the original. I used it on a couple records we made way back when. Shoulda kept it.

That's great work. Clean inside and out!

It's a surprisingly good sounding flanger, IMO. I'm happy it worked out for you.

I do. It should correspond to the first version of the Tim (minus the fx loop), although I did include my own clipping mod on the project. Feel free to use the schematic to build your own vero/PCB if you like.

Excellent, thanks DL. I need to dig back into SpinCAD and this is the perfect reason to get motivated. I will happily throw in a donation.

Glad you are digging it even though I low-key hate looking at my PCB layout work from so long ago. The electrolytic caps should all face down :)

Same same. But, I still find ISO with a toothbrush then a water wash finisher gives the best results. It makes the solder joints look dull but they are very clean.

I think I designed one to fit in my Standard Series of 1590B projects. I'll check. There's a bunch of those I still haven't released. Update: yeah I have one. It's the revised design from Bajaman that includes a tone control but all the same circuitry is still there.

I use an external 2TB WD Passport over USB3 for automated backups. Not a single glitch in 11 years.

In situations like this the first thing I do is make sure I haven't made a mistake in the actual measurement. Are you getting no reading or 0v reading on the right side of that resistor? The second thing I would do is pop all the ICs from their sockets and measure on the +9v connections of the...
