I love the raw head look. The only reason I wouldn't do one just like this is because I want a spring reverb. A speakon cable that connects the speaker and the reverb tank would be an interesting solution

I have enough experience to roll my own parts and there are mods I want that aren't standard so there's no reason for me to grab a kit. I'm also shopping for second hand transformers to save some costs. I think I could probably fit a champ into a 1590dd and have tayda do the drilling. I have a...

I tried it once but it was pretty difficult. I gave up before i got something working

It's about time I get around to building my first amp. I don't really play guitar so I could use some suggestions. What I want from this amp: -A platform to test pedals with. I don't it to be a super clean pedal platform amp though. I want to be able to feel the interaction between pedal and...

I've been been wanting to try some of the That suggested circuits. It's probably a little outside my current abilities but ive been throwing myself into difficult projects and learning fast. I have too many projects in the que and not enough time at the moment.

Awesome! I'm on the edge of moving and starting to build out my studio. I'm guessing it'll be about a two-three year process to get it in a state im happy with starting with treatment, then speakers, then outboard gear. I've become so much better of a builder in the past year and have started...

If unagi is making multi tap inductors are we going to see a sushi take on a pultec in the future? Id love to see some affordable mic input and output transformers. I've been wanting to build some Jensen twin servo type preamps but I just cant afford the xformers at the moment. At this point I...

Example from the ember boost/TC spar Is the thought that the impedance at vref is very low so there isn't as much of your signal loss through the vref generator compared to an unbuffered voltage divider? I'm thinking about it too hard and confusing myself

When ever a pedal needs an odd amount of opamps, the extra opamp is usually slapped on the end of the power supply. For example, a pedal that uses 5 op amps would take 3 tl072s, that gives you 6 opamps to work with. I usually see this extra op amp used as a unity gain buffer after the power...

Fixed

Super excited for this one. I made a board for a dual discrete opamp based on the blues driver. I'm going to make a few and drop one into my morning glory for a blues driver/breaker hybrid. Like this https://vero-p2p.blogspot.com/2022/07/marshall-blues-driver-boss-discrete.html I think...

Great response! How do tants compare to similarly priced aluminum caps? A high quality Nichicon or Panasonic cap cost about the same as the tants offered on tayda

Tantalums seem to be the real contentious one. I've read lots of conflicting info It seems like pretty much every capacitor type is available in that 1uf-10uf making the choice even harder

Yeah I usually use cheaper or midrange components for any dirt and anything that drastically changes the signal. Also for pedals I just want to play with. I use higher end components for more transparent effects like clean preamps, EQs, and compressors. If I think a pedal is going to earn a...

I've been looking at a lot @Chuck D. Bones reworks and noticed his frequent use of tantalum capacitors. What I've gathered so far is that in the signal path: Film > Tantalum > Aluminum for large values and Film > silver mica? >Mlcc > ceramic for small values I've also found that Mlcc caps are...

Im planning to do 1 (leave C1), 3, 4, 5, 6, 7(leave 14), 8, 9, 10, 12 C7, C9-C11 film C13-C14 tant C25k for depth I'm mostly writing this down for personal reference or ill forget by the time parts get here. I'm still a little confused on when and where to use tant caps because I there's lots...

what value did you use for Depth? im putting together my parts list right now

If you were to go for a fixed resonance, how much boost would you aim for? I want to try this out on fretless and have a switch for flat or peaked resonance. I'm thinking a +6db resonance boost would be good but im not familiar with this style of preamp. 3db seems like it would be too...

Following. I've never had a rat and it seems like a must have for a complete pedal arsenal

I upped the hpf cap on my nobelium build for upright and its now set at around 50hz. It's pretty perfect for my upright to leave on all the time. I don't think think a steeper filter slope is al that necessary tbh. Steep analog filters do weird stuff to the phase response and create a resonance...
