The 47uF filtering/bypass needs to be between the positive and negative. You may want that between the 0V ref'd +Vbatt on the switched side and the negative of the bettery. Putting a cap between the pins of a battery permanently means the battery is leaking through the cap even when unplugged...

I misread the title with glasses on :/ getting old sucks.

They make really good antenna.. so you could make a decoupling by using a second cap next to it as a pickup antenna.. the two couple and high gain restores the signal .. is this how 1200V decoupling caps are used?? ⚡ :ROFLMAO:

Static books are dry, with the added explanation and examples it works better for me. It helps link the aural and logical text together. His song analysis also then builds on this and helps reinforce. One of the issues we face in this world of digital verbal diarrhoea is structured approach to...

I like it when the musician goes into the actual music. Beato can hold his own and will talk about it at length. Some note worthy ones Nuno Bettencourt and jazz pianist Keith Jarrett and many others. What I like is it's not a *buy my new POS* fake interview. I'm not interested in the TikTok...

i normally use the bourn multi turn trim pots (the blue ones). In the end everything moves.

Been thinking a little about this today. This is the simple circuit and the PCB square here would fit into the upper section of a 1950A (so about 35mm wide), so this is looking at SMT 1204 resistors and small electrolytic: Not the final design but I wanted to see how much of a pain it would...

How do you normal do yours? I'm playing around at the moment with positioning the can flat or possibly flat with some foam and then secured. This board is the size of a short 1590A board, looking at double sided with reverse side flooded ground plane. The pots will be off board and connected...

I've done some work with 24MHz clocks and destroyed a Crystek CCHD clock before (ouch!) to reflections, so some things to check if it's all connected right: * current draw limiting - what's the current draw through the clock pins, * reflections - do you have any impedance changes creating a...

You know you're tempted: Nothing like having all the conductors in parallel.. but with Fuzz nobody'd notice!

That should work - the diodes recovery time is way faster than audio and phase shift across the opamps won't be a problem either. I blame PTSD (power traumatic signal disorder) over phase delay for power shunts, using current rather than voltage comparison from clock noise..

Plus import charge if over 136 IIRC now. It’s all caused mass chaos as all rapid import/export changes do.

I’m tempted to make a mutli-headed echo with each stage routable through external effects pedals. Idea being trying to work some “tones”.

I managed to have a little time yesterday to try the second set of AC128s, compare and contrasting. The 95/113, with some adjustments is definitely lower gain, and it's clocked at +40dB gain with full fuzz (as you've seen). The 138/155, just sounds hotter and a little more angry but also can...

317 - old school, 3080 - 70-80dB PSRR up to 1.1A, parallel/chainable 3042 - 90dB PSRR but up to 200mA, parallel/chainable Just be a little careful with the ordering of the packages, these 3042 which should be good for pedals etc but need some PCBs made up:
