I suppose you can order the needles in different gauges too. I’ll have to look. I mean I use hemostats every day working on our stuff already - scalpel is next I suppose!

When an Engineer solder sucker alone will not work I've had good luck with stainless steel desoldering needles. I've broke quite a few though, I've yet to find a good quality set. Basically you heat up the needle and it melts the solder, you press the needle so it covers the whole leg inside...

Great demo. Love the clear cover to show off your sexy AF lead dress :)

Meeeeeee toooooo. Love plate. I've toyed with this too. Whoever gets there first start a thread up :)

There's not a lot in stompbox form that will be as good as plugins in your DAW, even less cheap options, and nearly no DIY options (Daisy Seed has potential, we'll get their soon enough). The exceptions are the UA, Eventide, Strymon, and Meris pedals (I am sure I am forgetting a few). Man I...

Like @Locrian99 Im a bit of a snob when it comes to DIY reverbs. I have a Meris Mercury X that feels like peak pedal board based reverb. I default to a tight “room” reverb that just helps the Ox Box cab sims with some subtle space. I like plate style reverbs quite a bit too. As far as DIY I...

This last weekend I had a project idea pop into my head and I ordered these PCBs to use as part of it, but I'll have a 15V dual supply for power. I know I could just get away with using the positive rail for the Splitter and Mixer but for headroom purposes I'd like to use both. @Robert looking...

Gorgeous! I need to build one of these some day.

Beautiful! The Whippoorwill is likely the most significant bird species in the Lovecraft stories. Straining to remember other birds in the stories, the only other that comes mind immediately are penguins in the Mountains of Madness. Great choice :)

That's a rosy way of looking at it, one that would be more applicable if these copies were not marked up to real part mojo prices. It's a bummer there are less trusted sources each year as us old fucks die off or retire. Like, for example, Steve from Small Bear. I'm sure there are still troves...

This dude is one of my favorite Ebay sellers: https://www.ebay.com/itm/116533599477?_skw=308&itmmeta=01K4WKGFE7D7ZYNR3D7G046H2W&hash=item1b21f19cf5:g:V4cAAOSwdU5gb2wX If you search on the forum others have had good luck with him too. The NO CHINA BS guy :)

I have sometimes done that. I use 18 gauge pre bond for the chassis earth connection. Stranded is more mechanically robust than solid. Anyway, 18 gauge pre bond is pretty girthy and stiff, it’s almost like solid core in terms of bending it etc. It’s fairly easy to insert it into teflon...

Everything else the same ... higher wattage rating should be less noisy. Aiken has a good write up here: https://www.aikenamps.com/index.php/resistor-types-does-it-matter

Build two, or even three. Redundancy.
