    Cliche / Notakliche - Are diodes really necessary?

    My experience with this come mostly from that I modded a EHX Soul food with an On/Off/On switch, meaning I had the option of no clipping, 1N60(?) (stock) and russian D9E germanium diodes that are close to the originals in forward voltages. Ofcourse it distorts at higher gain with diode clipping...

    JAM Tiny Amp Destroyer

    I used a Peavey Studio Pro 50 for 20 years, it's broken now and and full of JRC4558's. I liked the demos of that pedal linked above, it sounds pretty nice to my ears.

    This Week on the Breadboard: The Spirit in the Sky Fuzz

    "Fumble" Trademark

    Doesn't prior use matter in us trademark law? That you can file ownership of the Fumble trademark doesn't mean you automatically have a good case against everyone.

    Tayda UV Print Tool Final Update Gloss Testing

    Great idea! I don't really know what's going on, I'm not really able to verify if it does the right things or not but let's try: My typical uv print job is white text on transparent background. Comparing the output from your tool with pdfs I've sent to tayda, I see some things that look...

    Desoldering Advice

    Another suggestion: If you have only two pins that are stuck, and have two irons and a friend, drench both joints in fresh solder, keep the irons at the joints while one of you pulls out the transformer. The trick temol posted works well esp if the pins are next to each other

    Where are people getting potentiometers?
