    Enclosure grounding

    I just use ⅜" inside tooth lock washers between the jack and the enclosure. They dig in nicely with no need to sand or scrape. They're cheap.

    Anyone's got a good source for mn3011 BBD chips?

    So here it is only 6 am on Sunday morning after registering with Win-Source.net with a brand-spanking new GMail account, and according to GMail . . . . . I now have 6 different cloud storage accounts, 2 MS Office & 8 McAfee subscriptions, 8 different streaming & 2 different phone services, and 2...

    Magnetron Unity Gain Issue

    While you're in there, be sure to quick check the power supply levels for the +9V and +5V distribution.

    Magnetron Unity Gain Issue

    Can you provide some good, clear photos of the circuit board and wiring? Otherwise, we can't see what you're up against. Also, have you double-checked all of your component values?

    Anyone's got a good source for mn3011 BBD chips?

    Update on my request for samples of the MN 3011 BBD chips from Win-Source.net earlier today . . . . . When I registered, I used a brand new GMail account and the spam has already started rolling in. So, I don't think Win-Source is such a solid resource to pursue such an unobtanium device like...

    Anyone's got a good source for mn3011 BBD chips?

    Just checked it with scamadviser.net for safety and it appears to be a safe site. I registered at the win-source.net site and requested four of the MN3011 BBD chips. Then I scrolled around the site for more information about the company. That's when I found an old familiar name that has...

    Parentheses Fuzz Capacitor Question

    Purple Chorus (Analog Bi Chorus) board for sale anywhere?

    I've still got this in my queue for troubleshooting. I have one unpopulated board that I've been going over (can't seem to find any problems with it). Next I'll be populating art to test the circuit. It's currently back-burnered whilst I get some customer repairs done.

    SMD Electrolytic Capacitor Hack

    Shroud, plastic-base, black-thingamabob . . . . . . . . . any of those ought to suffice. 🧐

    Small 1uF electrolytics

    Unfortunately, the 1µF SMD electrolytic caps are too small.

    Creamery Compressor Troubleshooting

    Challenge accepted . . . . All pots are W100K and the off-board wiring is identical on all three finished pedals. It's the middle board that seems to work as it should.

    Creamery Compressor Troubleshooting

    Finished building out three of the Creamery Compressors and they all perform differently. One works as I suspect it ought to. The other two have different control (pots) issues. In one, the Compression pot seems to do nothing, the Level (volume?) seems quite weak, and the Attack really kicks...

    OptoComp (GPCB Squishy Octopus - DOD 280 clone)

    IMO, it tends to dampen the highs. Might be able to correct that by futzing with some cap values. 🤷‍♂️
