ay cheers 🤟🏻 i just used the one that comes with the build doc. but it looks like @zeropluszero has you covered. i grab a pack of 46-10s and a single 70, throw away the 10. it’s actually a mouse pad lol

that’s because stripboard/veroboard rules. choose your own adventure, put in the cuts and links, done - you have a board ready for action

i did a big post about the scythe here haha sometimes it’s like that.. but it’s also handy to have measured units ahead of selection. wicked 🤙🏻

i wasn't sure whether to post this in the What's Really Good thread, or the Share Your Music thread, but I feel like this build report deserves an update for something I never expected to happen with this build.. at the start of this year I started tracking x3 new songs for a band. amidst...

kinda looks like a knockoff too

mayonnaise is a 4 transistor big muff with bells. not an opamp muff at all. but it is a great muff regardless.

nah, haven't felt the need to try anything else since i got onto busboard. probably not a silly idea if you have the shelf / drawer space to store the builds. how good that would be. this is pretty much what i do. if the circuit's interesting enough, it goes on the build list. just have to...

💯 agree. like this: pot pins are actually quite thin (0.5mm) https://www.taydaelectronics.com/datasheets/A-1888.pdf regardless, nowadays i just use trimpots instead.. (unless it's got heaps of pots and tricky to dial in with the linear taper)

BUSBOARD!! 🤟 :cool: 🤟 don't even think about wasting your time with a cheap POS board from tayda or whatever. my first breadboard was a cheapy and i thought it was fine... then i got some good busboards from mouser and starting using those. at first i was like "yeah they're pretty good i...

was it this gated when you breadboarded the circuit? (with the exact same transistors, in the same positions, i presume). a MKI is typically gated, but a MKII really shouldn't be.

this could be a part of the problem. i used to use regular bits. a long time ago. then when i started attempting to drill steel chassis for a few amp projects, i grabbed a step bit, as it was recommended. i've been using the same step bit for about 5 years and it's still good. basically...

assuming CJOD is a mere TS808 clone - IME this source code overdrive appears to generate a little more gain, but definitely had a lot more volume output in my breadboard build. could be wrong, but i'm assuming this is just a fancy input buffer note: there's also this 'additional' gain stage...

yep. phase switch is critical. really limits what you can and can't blend if it doesn't have one.

unless the tube device is leaning heavily into doing non-linear things, like distortion, i wouldn’t expect much benefit in this scenario

theoretical behaviour perhaps? most human ears can't hear graphs or waveforms. breadboarding allows you to hear in real time exactly what the circuit sounds like in the rig of your choice.
