Oh right. Phrasing.

Happy holidays to you! We miss you Fig!

There is a dispensary 200ft from my house, it’s very dangerous.

I couldn’t tell what that picture was but I never would’ve thought it was diodes!

What’s that?

I used a piece of cardboard to insulate the pot. That’s definitely a critical issue to consider for this build.

Yeah that’s the other thing that makes me hesitate. I guess DIY is not just about saving money, but the fret leveling job is daunting to me, if I consider doing it myself. Or just expensive if I am gonna pay somebody to do it.

I am torn on this. The price of a custom Warmoth build is around $1000 without finish. I really want a baritone guitar but I can get a new one at that price. Or I can buy a loaded Fender body and just the conversion neck which would be around $7-800. But then where’s the fun?

I never tried it but I have friends who used Warmoth in the past and the result was great. I was considering a Warmoth baritone conversion neck for a Strat build but I have to say a build from scratch is very expensive.

It depends on the circuit and the opamp. I think there are people on this forum who can make an opamp boost that absorbs a tiny amount of current.

Renovations are super stressful! I hope it wasn’t too bad.

That's a really cool faceplate!

Every time I have made a combo pedal I somewhat regretted it. I find it a lot more flexible to have separate stomp boxes.

I don’t know why they claim 100K output impedance (not something to boast about, that’s way too high), but this resistor does not determine the output impedance. It is determined by the parallel with the output impedance of the last buffer stage which, being very low, dominates the output impedance.

So you’re saying that the tariff should be twice as large in order to bring American manufacturing back?
