Was ruled illegal by the supreme court on Feb 20th, but then the leader of the free world did that. So, back to square one :) Meaning most carriers only accept shipments with PDDP... at the moment, shipping a 199 USD pedal to the us, costs me 93.70 USD in shipping fees, compared to 25 about a...

To be fair, there's actual 1n34 schottky diodes, if they sell them as germanium, shame on them

These schottky probably sound about just the same as any fancy ass 10 bucks a leg NOS 1N34A in any circuit

Awesome! thanks for that, we got similar results too! I did measure a 100 of each for these, couple of wild ones indeed looking at max measured for example that could have been an 1n4148. Main reason for me personally to like them is that they are obsolete, thus mojo scoring goes up drastically...

I use two PT2399 in parallel for a pedal, that works pretty decent. Just two standard PT2399 datasheet delay lines, going into the same summing opamp with the dry signal. tweak the response of each line with the built in input opamp of the PT2399s (hooked up as multiple feedback band pass...

Perfect artwork for a perfect name :love:

Try and see here to compare diodes Vf. But D9E are totally fine, just like any schottky would by the way, do not pay attention to "harder, bright, smooth, warmer", or any other hype words Gemini is repeating from legends and myths spread over the internet about diodes, especially germanium. The...

Maybe the taper of the gain pot?

stumbled upon this post while binge searching for gear oddities: "Buckle Up: There’s A Definite Decline Coming For The Guitar Gear Industry" I did see a couple of fellow builders posting about closing down this January... Sad...

Yup, I can confirm that, I solder them on the board and mixed up with alphas there's always a tilt, I decided to embrace it and tell people this has a great influence on the sound, warmer, more dynamic, more (insert your sales keyword here)..

all at max, triangle in pink, ram's head in green, civil war in blue, green russian in orange. I'd go for ram's head and triangle just because I have never built any 😅

Tayda all day long 🤘

You should check out the diode comparison that @thomasbe86 put together. Suffice to say, the difference between the 1S1588/1N4148/1N914 probably won't be noticeable: Thanks @PedalBuilder ! I put the data in a more user friendly interface here easier to search, filter, etc. Oh and I added the...

Tube screamer was my first ever attempt, and second, and third,... Back in around 2004, a friend and I spent about 8 hours to put one together on vero board.. so excited to test the result, plugged it in, no sound, started to smoke here and there.. Had forgotten to clip the leads of every...

That is definitely the kind of haunting smell that I hate, a reminder of all my failed attempts...
