    Jlcpcb and tariffs

    It appears that, for shipments under $800, now the White House is now saying that the tariff will be 54% (or the $100 flat fee). Which still sucks and will probably change within a couple of hours anyhow. Interesting that the article notes that it is the export companies who choose whether...

    Uni-Vibe and Surprise Preamp (AionFX Straylight)

    Purely for the record, I bought my Wima caps for this build (and pretty much every other build I have used them on) from Tayda. They have carried them for several years now and I’ve never had an issue with them. However, because they are a little more pricey, I tend to save them for the builds...

    Sunnyscopa Film-Free Laser Jet Waterslide Notes for New GW1-PRO Glue

    Yes, you have to set your printer to print the image as a mirror image (reversed). The side of the decal that the LaserJet prints on is the side that will go face down on the surface of the enclosure. With a normal waterslide decal the backing paper is on the underside of the decal when you...

    Uni-Vibe and Surprise Preamp (AionFX Straylight)

    Understood. Buying directly from Sunnyscopa makes the same 20-sheet pack twice the price I paid when buying from Amazon, because the shipping to the U.S. is as much as the actual decal paper itself. And that is before adding in whatever tariffs the US might have in effect when the order...

    Uni-Vibe and Surprise Preamp (AionFX Straylight)

    Hi – thank you for the kind words! I use the Sunnyscopa film-free decals for LaserJet printers. I normally buy it from Amazon (US) but Amazon is not currently offering this product so I will have to hope that it comes back in stock before I run out of my existing supply. However, it may not...

    Celsius preamp + Cepheid chorus?

    I’ve paired it in a build with a CE-1 clone (Lectric-FX Karaoke Chorus) and I’ve also paired with a CE-2 clone (AionFX Azure) manually by putting them together on a pedalboard, and both sounded great.

    Sunnyscopa Film-Free Laser Jet Waterslide Notes for New GW1-PRO Glue

    Hey, – I really appreciate this. I work with film free a lot and I noticed about a year ago that the glue was somewhat different in that it only took half the time to cure in the oven and any longer would cause something like – but not exactly like – the glue burning issue you had. The glue...

    Tayda UV printing - what counts as white?

    Back when I was doing Tayda UV prints, this is exactly the process I followed, except that I repeated steps 8 and 9 more times than are listed here. This is an excellent summary of the steps to a successful print job. M

    Tayda UV printing - what counts as white?

    This is an important point and bears some further explanation. Most printers that print on paper do not print white. If there is something pure white in your picture, what you are seeing is the white color of the paper with the color on top of it. But when you have an off-white and you print it...

    DC Jacks

    Are we talking about these (or the corresponding “innie” version)? If so, they still fit the standard PPCB top jack drill template – you just need to make the hole for the power jack about 13 mm. But you don’t need to move the input and output jack at all – everything still fits, even if you...

    What's on the workbench?

    Chastity Preamp? And with that, I am bereft of suggestions.

    Favorite 1590XX builds

    I would probably go with the Spacialist. It looks to just have a ton of different usable bread -and-butter reverbs. Just based on my experience with the Spirit Echo and certain other EQD pedals, I personally - for me – would shy away from a lot of the other reverbs in the shop because they...

    Favorite 1590XX builds

    I don’t. It didn’t turn out quite the way I expected (entirely my own fault for not knowing everything about what I was building). Specifically, I should’ve chosen a different reverb other than the Spirit Echo. On the Keeley, I believe it’s a fairly normal chamber reverb – however, the Spirit...
