I suspect you can't get the real Deacy sound without using the proper, cheapo speaker and cabinet.

The S/N spec is pretty underwhelming for such a short delay. Gets even worse if daisy chaining a few

I'd say you can bend them about twice before they break.

I've never seen an 18v rated elcap in my life. It's either 16V or 25V as far as I've seen. Now, you can have leaky caps (there was an "electrolyte gate" scandal), and those will corrode traces on the PCB, causing untold grief. This is why I only buy elcaps from well known brands.

The rated life is given at the maximum temperature. For every 10°C decrease, the life expectancy doubles. So if you buy a cap rated for 1000 hours at 105°C, it should be good for 128k hours at 35°C, which is warmer than the typical temp inside a pedal. Basically don't worry about elcap life in...

@Paradox916 : You'll need to match R1 and R2 to at least 1% tolerance to keep your balancing, but you can use a pot for R3 (wired as a variable resistor) if you want varable attenuation. If you're going to plug the attenuator into a mic pre, R3 might degrade your noise performance if it's higher...

Just resistors. Something along these lines:

Beginning of the school year party. Mandatory pic of my boss's Grammys. It won't be easy to leave this job...

Today on my walk. First time here and it's only 10 minutes from home..

I suspended all JTEX shipping to the US. Many thanks to all previous US customers but it's just too much drama. I might just offer free shipping to all the rest of the world instead.

I was going to suggest something along these lines.

Nope. I even ordered just the exact quantity I needed for a project (25 of each part) and I got 25 assembled boards out of it. They didn't drop any on the floor 🎯 Appartently you can even ship parts to them if you can't find them through any of the distributors they work with. I haven't tried...

I did. It's totally self-serve. https://jlcpcb.com/help/article/how-to-use-jlcpcb-global-sourcing-parts-service

You can play around with a hard clipper and soften it to your heart's content by simply adding a small resistor in series with the diodes on their way to ground. Just tweak and listen until it sounds right to you.

What I would probably do: - cut off the part's legs at the very top using an Xacto or utility knife (careful not to put too much pressure and end up cutting into the board) - pluck what's left of the pins, one by one, with tweezers and an iron. The idea is to do no harm to the PCB. - clean up...
