pretty much any TS based drive, but my all time favourite boost for anything is the ST-9

the cheaper 400 point bb i got was a 'MULTICOMP' brand, it's held up ok, but with these busboard branded ones i've immediately noticed an improvement in quality. given the time that goes into it, i think it's well worth the extra cost

my first dip into breadboarding was with the Protoboard Micro and a 400 point tie board. it's an excellent setup. I was surprised with what i could squeeze on there (big muff, rat, tremolo), it's not just for fuzz faces and rangemasters. but the time came for bigger things and then i ordered a...

heck yeah! this is sick. i was gonna say, metal cans might be the way to go here... ...but @Feral Feline is already onto it. in fact - @Feral Feline - i was also looking for metal can LM386 the other day and yeah it doesnt look like they exist :(

🤔 without a manufacturer marking, might be suspect… this the one that went in my first rat build tayda sourced, clearly marked as made by texas instruments

everyone’s different i guess. and that’s a good thing. for me a 3PDT board is just inconvenient

yes. - input jack sleeve is the central node of a star ground scheme (as it is in all of my builds). - breadboard ground lead runs directly from this node (baking tray and aluminium mating surfaces were filed/sanded for maximum continuity)

+1 the mindset / habit of builders that insist on using 3PDT daughterboards , ill never understand. the most superfluous unnecessary shit of all time. - you're literally increasing the number of solder joints you have to do. - it takes longer to finish a build with a 3PDT daughterboard than it...

this is friggin excellent. would use.

i'm really not much of a fuzz expert, i assume these smaller old/vintage fuzz circuits are inherently pretty noisy, even when using silicon counterparts. (although i may be doing something wrong. i'm really not sure if a silicon fuzz face circuit is supposed to be as noisy as what i've...

probably. lets suggest you do decide a circuit, perhaps a unity gain stage to do preliminary testing to 'weed out' the bad/noisy ones. IMO, this is probably a waste of time. because as you say, and as many others suggest, whenever dealing with Ge transistors for a particular circuit, it is best...

i’ve bought a couple OP07s from tayda about a year ago or so. first rat build a while ago sounded fine. then i got some NOS LM308HZ opamps to try out. built a rat circuit on a breadboard to test them out and i compared them against the tayda-sourced OP07 - it didn’t sound that drastically...

this or breadboard the circuit and then you can solder in your picks nice and neat with no sockets. curiosity is a strong force i guess 😅

fuck. i can't argue with this. #331 for board & #245 for the rest sounds like the perfect solution. however, struggling to talk myself into dropping aud$200 on a couple rolls of solder. how bad is the residue with #44? keep hearing about how much of nuisance it is. but then your cleaning...

current tally: x1 vote for #245 x1 vote for 63/37

alright. instead of a new thread, ill jump on this one. so I've always used whatever cheap 60/40 crap that i get from a local hobby shop and have just tolerated it because I've never known anything else. but the time has come. my roll is about to run out and I'm browsing mouser. 63/37...

yes. if you have the right capacitance value and it fits in the board, well, tbh it really doesn't matter :)

update 2025: cos more demos are fun! last year i ordered an acrylic badge off ebay. pondered whether i’d even use it, it looked cool but ended up sitting on the shelf with the pedals. well today i felt like bolting it up. while i acknowledge it’s frowned upon to use trade dress/brand names on...

i’d have to build the golden falk and get back to you. i’ve got the board, so it’ll happen sooner or later 😅 crikey, these look perfect. thanks for the tip.

ay cheers! i was just stoked on the results of this super budget rig and thought i’d share the results. haha just being 100% transparent with the sources for my ideas 😉 yeah these look great. wtf do they come like that with the spade connectors attached? hell yeah, i reckon this is what i’ll...
