    What's your nemesis circuit?

    sitting on the sidelines of my workspace is the lectricFX flanger. But I need to get other things finished before I try again with that.

    What kind of pot is this?

    Looks like a reverse audio taper 1M. Better send it to me for disposal. :)

    Sparkly tone machines: Paragon, Closed Circuit Booster Limiter and 401K Compressor

    I award you 3/3 glitters. Curiosity - are you painting these enclosures glittery or do you have a glitter supplier?

    Tube Preamp PCB (draft)

    I did try the tube connections on the edge of the board, but it got kind of clunky. I like the idea of of the grid resistors off board, especially since it will just be for myself. And the parallel trace in that D3/R19 was a “I know it’s parallel but I can’t make the layout any prettier”...

    Tube Preamp PCB (draft)

    As my college football team was getting its teeth kicked in, I decided to work on this layout. Here's revision 3. I think, think there's at least 2mm between traces/holes. I used pads for the tone stack (I know, that part isn't pretty). I also moved the 275v to the top area of the board (with...

    Self reply. Man, I always screw up where ground loops would/would not be. I’ll give it a shot and have you tear it apart. :)

    Tube Preamp PCB (draft)

    I shouldn’t probably post when I’m a bit tired: I forget context. And yes, you’re right: the airwires are Ground connections. 1. I calculated 1.25 somehow, but I’ll probably move it to .75-.85, just to give myself a bit of leeway. 2. Good thoughts on the signal being smaller width. 3. The...

    Tube Preamp PCB (draft)

    So, I gave it another shot, this time in landscape. Little wider and narrower. Guess I went Hiwatt style. :) I did move some of the potentiometers from the bottom up a couple millimeters (my grid is in 1mm squares). Everything should have 1.5-2mm clearance, all HV is on 1.25mm traces, and I...

    Recommend me a pedal

    Get turbo weird https://aionfx.com/project/xenotron-modulation-machine/ Trem + Flanger + Effects loop = what's not to love? https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/leprechaun/ because 🤷‍♂️ (Speaking of, I need to get mine boxed up)

    Tube Preamp PCB (draft)

    Cool. I went ground pour on the bottom side trying to keep the big VDC on the top. No way I wanted to pour copper with those big traces. And you’re right, there are some big voltages there on the blue (bottom side). I’ll look at that - don’t know what I was thinking. The 1/16 (whatever that...

    Tube Preamp PCB (draft)

    Good evening - I like making perfboard layout of preamps, but I'm kind of nervous of the longevity of some of them (one is working, but the ground and +250VDC are literally millimeters apart!) . So, I've taken a shot at putting together a 125B sized (but no tubes!) layout for 2 tubes plus a...

    Professor Tweed preamp cannot bias one of the JFETs

    OOOOH YEAH! It’s always the silliest little thing. may the tweed happiness be with you.

    SOLVED Relay Bypass (latching) + Informant: Effect always-on, LED switches on/off

    Honest question: am I seeing things, or is there no wire connected to the IN of the relay board? I can’t tell and maybe the coffee hasn’t kicked in. Maybe that’s it?
