how does one procure one of these DM-3 boards?

yeah this makes sense, cheers. interesting, sounds like low leakage isn’t really the way to go here… i struggled to get a Mk1 to sound good. it does seem to be about finding suitable transistors.. i’ll have another go eventually. go have a look at aionfx’s mki schematic and see what they’ve...

well, with a trimpot on Q2c, I guess I could bounce between different bias settings for whichever flavour.... interesting when you say 'high leakage fuzz face'... - where is the threshold for what is considered high leakage? or low leakage? or even normal? i haven't really gathered a sample...

currently waiting on a board to dry/cure, so on the weekend I decided to have a look at that stash of MP38A (in the post above) and maybe have another go at breadboarding a fuzz face. found the stash, emptied it out and wtf... i do not remember being this organized. turns out i had...

he likes simple: build the deep blue delay. done. brilliantly simple design that does what it does very well. also sounds like old mate isn’t going to know or care for the difference between shelling out for BBDs or cheap & cheerful PT2399s.

congrats on your 3rd build, looks very well executed 🤙🏻 masking tape can help hold components in position. but what i really do to keep not only box caps straight, but also resistors and anything else, is to solder only one lead of each component at a time (in a ‘run’ of soldering in...

the vast differences in these trimpot settings (from left side to right side) leads me to believe that they may not have been dialled in 'correctly'

DIYLC is the bomb. perfect for turretboard and veroboard layouts, pretty sure it does perfboard too. don't see why you couldn't design PtP layouts with it.

you'll also wanna have the right pinout for however the PCB is laid out.

ohh hell yeah that’s probably a better way to do it. (but i’m not sure i’d be able to do it like that without burning things with the iron lol) thanks 🤙🏻 all my builds are done with 22awg solid core from tayda (i bought too much red, normally prefer white)

cheers 🤘 yeah it’s a PITA to fix up and do these mods after it’s already boxed it up, but i reckon it’s worth it for the lush modulations this is capable of.. (i also figured out i could just bend the pot out of the way to desolder the resistors instead of desoldering a whole pot) yep, it’s a...

omg. the noise. how did i not see all these threads: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/dark-rift-delay-distortion-fuzz-in-wet-signal.3512/page-3#post-41773 https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/dark-rift-delay-noise-in-the-repeats.4557/ https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/dark-rift-noise.4069/...

LectricFx DC Echo (EHX Echo 600)

hell yeah 💪🏻 you’ve just reminded me that i need to build one of these. so much mojo going on in one box. - transformer ✅ - germanium transistor (a fat black glass one too) ✅ - 27V ✅ - neve knobs ✅ i’m down with that
