    Boutique Pedal Manufacturers Are Feeling the Tariff Pinch

    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.

    Sourcing components for JLCPCB PCBA

    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...

    Are we fooling ourselves when it comes to diode softness?

    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.

    Can anyone remove a SMD chip and solder a new one?

    Question About Selling

    I should have mentioned that I build mostly just populated PCBs, not pedals, so it's easier for me to offer some simple customization, such as, for instance, no pin headers for those who prefer to solder their own wiring, or a different input Z that involves just swapping a resistor. Pedals are...

    Need a pedal idea for a specific enclosure

    Not sure about Charlie Watts, but I measured 150 clean Canadian Watts per channel into 4 ohms with a 40V PSU, if it helps 😉
