Yeah - I've previously build a Guma drive antique and a Pumpernickel compressor . I've not had the issue of the power jack shorting to the enclosure, but the board-mounted power jack is the only thing I don't like about the Schalltechnik_04 projects. I'd also thought about either mounting the...

I've been quite tempted to build the omnilooper, and interested in these insert style loops - are you making the y-cables for this yourself?

I've not come across them before - I've got countersink bits with the fluted tips that have never really worked well, but these look like they'd be way better. I'm stuck with a hand drill until I've got space for a drill press.

I normally get this effect when using the stepped cone bits to drill out larger holes, but I think I'd probably manage it with the tip of a broader drill bit for these 3mm holes. Main difficulty is keeping it consistent when drilling, so it might be better twirling the bit by hand to deburr...

I've finished this build today, a little bit ahead of schedule. I've only spent a while today playing with it and monitoring through headphones, but I'm very pleased with it so far, and looking forward to trying it at volume through a power amp. Particularly enjoying the boost from the bass...

I'd had the same thought, and got the same corner frequency. My understanding is that the 90Hz/6dB numbers are -6dB/oct, and describe the slope of the filter. The slope of C8/R18 is 77Hz at -6dB/oct - I don't know how to produce a bode plot(?) for the frequency response of the filter, but I...

I've ended up ordering these for the inductors: https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/leaded-inductors/2400869 (and ended up with a few of them for this + other C2CE/Sushibox builds) - the footprint and lead size seem to be a wee bit bigger than those from the BOM...

That's great, thanks - I'm also quite tempted to move the ground lift switch onto the top as well, partly to keep it obvious and accessible, but also because I'm hand drilling the enclosure and I'd quite like to not have to get the jewelers saw out. Are your personal builds in 1590XX enclosures...

Thinking about this for my build and trying to get an idea of what effect this trimpot has on the output volume. If I changed this to a full sized pot and mounted it on the enclosure as a "DI output level" control would it be worth it? I'd hope it'd work in the same way as the existing volume...

Thanks, I'd been meaning to ask this question myself.

I've finished one of these recently as well, and had the same problem with the directions of the rotary switches - I ended up checking it against the schematic and by ear. CW is low, and CCW is high.

Thanks! I've been doing the hand stamped lettering for years, so I'm fairly quick at it by now - the amount of repetition in the labels for this made it relatively straightforward as well. In recent years I've been creating a paper template for builds, with circles where the tip of the metal...

I've recently finished up this modified Terrarium build. Key differences from other Terrarium builds I've seen are: Mounted in a 1590BB enclosure - This is slightly too shallow for the terrarium board and Daisy seed, but it fits without issue if the headers on top of the board are clipped off...
