Bending the legs is not rocket science! Just place the IC on its side against a flat surface and gently push the plastic body to 90...

From what's written on the IC, it's not an LM386 but an 24C32F EEPROM. I would double check the other ICs in the back, they should be...

Tbh I'm mainly using sockets to help with any troubleshooting issues (including IC's installed the wrong way around). That's pretty much...

"We mount our IC's sideways to improve the signal/noise ratio and EMF rejection. This allows for more natural, warm, tube-like breakup...

Basically, yes, failed, fell off from the factory. I had it laying around because I had already realised the flyleafs weren't working...

I use this https://www.taydaelectronics.com/hardware-tools/hand-tools/u-type-plcc-extraction-tool.html because pulling IC's often does...

Harmless memes aside, there is a marked difference between TE Connectivity and MiC varieties, mostly in the part of the spring that...

4 for machine vs 13 for leaf / IDC. Things are heating up! Good time to go make popcorn before the next set of posts. Taking bets on...

I must be really bored today.... I actually looked into this, did some math (Canadian math, no taffif %, I hope it's not too...

I'm not picky with leaf sockets

I use leaf-type as well. Almost every "socket issue" I've ever had involved a machined type. Transistor sockets are machined and they...

That's fine for one-offs, but in bulk builds it really is nice to have pre-measured wires, especially if you can get them pre-stripped...

I'll update my github repo with this layout as the template, since it seems to be the best-fitting one so far. The jack selection is...

Not a fan of wiring either. Using extra long male headers for the footswitch in lieu of wiring is the way for me. If the PCB is tall...

I've started making a modest number of pedals for sale at a local guitar store - dropping off 3-4 at a time. I'm doing this to basically...
