    Mouser BOMs with better parts quality?

    now that we are on page 11 for this winding thread, and sort of following up on the discussion about how the hobby has changed for newcomers over the last month/year/decade(s), let's not overlook the possibility that AI may be able to help put together an order if you provide a parts list...

    Mouser BOMs with better parts quality?

    I guess that circuit bending is hard on parts.

    Mouser BOMs with better parts quality?

    Nice way to derail a mostly constructive posting with more criticisms of folks that, one way or another, were just pissed off at how critical your comments seemed to be. If you care about cooling down the exchanges, stop feeding them. There is another practical reason that a number of users...

    DEMO Tape Delay mkII (with Envelope Controlled Modulation and Tails Time)

    Great layout and design for the enclosure. Lots of cool sounds in that magic box. PM sent requesting a pcb. : ^ )

    I'm completely new to pedal building and small electronics in general, any recommendations on where to start?

    You can also use higher power reading glasses when soldering. 4X is good for me most of the time but I have a 6X pair that I use when troubleshooting something.

    Jlcpcb and tariffs

    How large was your order? Asking in case there was a dollar threshold that may have triggered assessing the extra tariffs.

    Son Of Ben Preamp

    First thing, you might want to try putting a higher level signal into the pedal to see if you like the additional distortion you could get, but you still have plenty of ways to tweak the pedal to suit your ears. No reason not to dial down the trim on one or more of the pots if you are looking...

    Can I purchase just the top board for the Electrovibe Mini?

    looks like the two boards are part of one larger fabricated board and they come as a set that includes the footswitch pcb too. that makes it unlikely there are any spare "singles" in inventory. but if you order a new board they you will have a spare for the other two boards. on a related...

    PPCB 3 Channel Splitter and 3 Channel Mixer Question

    thanks for sharing the video. the 3-in and 3-out PPCB boards would do the same thing, except that you can then have 3 channels in parallel to play with. and of course you can have more than one effect in line for each channels if you want to do so. Not as much mix-and-match craziness like...

    Compact Compressor? For Improving tracking within Octave/Synth combo-build...

    Found this is a review: FX Engineering RAF Mirage: This pedal is handmade by a very small boutique brand. It aims for transparency in tone and action, and it hits the mark quite well. It reminds me of an optical design, though I don't know for a fact what type of circuit it is since the innards...
