@Robert - thanks, I sure didn't see that little SMD inductor!! So I am guessing that the toroidal choke in the original is for removing high frequencies from the 9V supply. Wow, that looks like Strymon does a very fancy build - high quality pots, what looks to be a relay, etc. Anyway, again...

@Robert - on the Stock Fuzz (Strymon Canoga) I am having some challenges locating any toroidal 680uH inductors of that size (looks like ~10mm OD in pic above), the ones I'm finding so far on Mouser are much larger, ~25-30mm OD. That thick copper wire suggests that I want low DCR, too. I do see...

Good question, I'm not sure, but it's surely set by the FV-1 so check out the various docs at http://spinsemi.com/products.html Looking at the application notes (http://spinsemi.com/Products/appnotes/spn1001/AN-0001.pdf) the clock is normally set to 32767 Hz, and delays *appears* to be...

I don't know about the 2SK209-G, but the 2SK209-GR is still available as an TO-236 SMD from Mouser. Not disagreeing w/ the other answers above, just noting...

Ah, so if you want custom PCB makers (like PCBWay, etc), then Dead End FX isn't in that market. But Dead End FX does make PCBs of guitar effects much like what PedalPCB does, and they do ship from Canada. www.deadendfx.com

Doesn't Dead End FX ship from Canada?

What I use: Not as good as a more serious and expensive chair, but plenty comfy and an unbeatable price. I put pads on mine, to better protect the seat from tears. Note added - from Ikea

You could always include bias resistor(s) in the switched transistor sub-network. The switched resistors could be all or only part of the total bias resistance, but are enough that both transistors are optimally biased.

Ouch, surgery... I wish him well, and a full and speedy recovery.

I see that Deadend FX's website says "Temporarily closed until further notice". Anybody know what's up? I don't want to pry, but ... I'm wondering if it's a financial issue (e.g., tariffs hurting them,etc.) or of a more personal reason (e.g., just needing a break or vacation). I have built at...

My storage solution consists of wood bins made from cut up scrap lumber and plywood, sorted by component type and value. For storing passive components, I use whatever small bags I have on hand - including a lot of reused baggies. For storing semiconductors, I use conductive baggies I bought for...

When I don't want a small nut like this to come undone, I put a drop of paint on it. Having some Scottish genes, I use fingernail polish - more specifically, a color that was on sale... Very easy to dispense, and close up for the next use.

As a NASA guy, I'm sure you know that the term 'heavy water' has additional meaning outside of music. So to keep with the various nuclear sub-themes, perhaps one of the pots could be labeled along the lines of 'Fusion' or 'Moderator'? Happy holidays!

I would not pay for someone to email me the code + license #, as there's too high a likelihood that they're reselling it multiple times, which the company would legitimately get pissed enough to take action. But buying the physical disc + cover/box + printed license # for a modest amount is a...
