I assumed I read it incorrectly.

Off topic for pedal forum, but (for some reason) I like y'alls opinions. Anyone here recommend an inexpensive dashboard camera? This weekend, my wife's car was hit by a car that ran a red light. Fortunately there were no injuries other than the cars. With no other witnesses, the other driver...

I'm not any help, just wanted to comment: That's a lot of capacitor for a pedal! Looks like a fun build, hope you get it sorted.

It should work. From the printed drill templates you can see the holes are aligned with other templates (plus Robert is very consistent). @Squiblert if you have doubts, print the drill template at 100% size, and measure the location of the holes to verify.

I just put my order together, and it was $20.25. Last year I had a $20 order I paid $4 for shipping. I was expecting the tariffs to be between $4-6 (depending on if they say the electronics are from China or Thailand), so hoping my cost would be $8-10. Turns out shipping/tax is $16.88, so a...

So what's the current status with tarriffs. I need to make a small order, am I gonna have to pay a tarriff? And if so, who collects it? Tayda? Shipping company? And if shipping company how do they bill?

germanium transistors take some time to settle--it should eventually stabilize (until you change the temperature again). how long are we talking here?

LOL "fairly unremarkable op-amp booster" is not selling it for me. I see many schematics are using 200K for R1. Try a dist+, it's not much different component-wise, but people actually like it.

you won't get a reliable resistor reading if the resistor is in circuit, so this is expected. regarding biasing the PNP side, can you try swapping the transistors to see if you get different results. Do you know the specs of those?

I'd check the solder connections on the switch. Many of those look suspect.

Your demos are always of interest, keep 'em coming

Thanks @flemming! My workplace has a maker space with a 3d printer--I knew about it but never got around figuring out how to access it until my coworker and I were talking hobbies. He had 3d printed a hurdy gurdy (or laser cut? forgot which). Since he had permission to use the printer...

And when you do tune, getting in tune fires a kill shot into the exhaust?

Maybe it's one of those holidays they're always warning about.
