    So this is what “winning” feels like.

    Neutron-3 (AionFX Lumitron)

    Since I tend to be more of a “modulation guy“ than a connoisseur of things like different fuzzes and drives, I’d always had a soft spot in my heart for the sound of a gentle envelope filter. I previously built the Waddle Box (my Quackpot build report) but, after living with it a while, I just...

    Advice on Baby’s First Breadboard?

    Thanks – with respect to the pots, I kind of came up with my own solution which I detailed here in this thread. That will still be useful for things like testing builds but I’ve since purchased a Protoboard (which uses a somewhat similar system for pots) for breadboarding and I just need to get...

    SOLVED Switch continuity in the ABY Switcher?

    See, @Robert? Nice and tidy. You wouldn’t even know a jumper was there unless I told you.

    SOLVED Switch continuity in the ABY Switcher?

    It just wasn’t passing signal, so “acting funky“ was really a euphemism for “dead”. I’m a little embarrassed that I posted my build report before actually checking it out (because it’s such a low parts count and I finished it too late at night to play, what could possibly go wrong)?). Checking...

    Thank you – marking this as solved. M

    SOLVED Switch continuity in the ABY Switcher?

    Well, that explains that part. Obviously having this thing disassembled I didn’t realize what position the Y switch was in but once I toggled it to the other position the continuity disappeared. Thank you! But what about the lugs in the opposite column from the one you marked? Those have...

    SOLVED Switch continuity in the ABY Switcher?

    So, as I described in my build report for this, I had some problem soldering in the AB switch on this and had to desolder and replace it. That didn't do much love for the pads on the component side of the board. Now that it's finshed, it's acting funky and I think I'm going to ned to add some...

    Passive ABY

    Not a whole lot to say about this. It’s a passive ABY box that allows you to run your signal to two different amps either individually or in conjunction. That being said, while it’s pretty simple in function and intent, it’s an indispensable tool if you have more than one amplifier, so I...

    Need Help with Passive ABY

    Bumping because I'm about to build and have the same questions. Here's what I think applying logic (not my strong suit) but would appreciate confirmation. Based on the drill template and the orientation of the AB and Y switches when the pedal is viewed form the exterior, the side with the...

    Should I expect to pay Tariffs on Tayda Orders?

    Sure seems like it when your message was “buy“ and then ended with “DJT” which is the stock ticker for his publiclly traded media group which was down by 12% at the time he mad his announcement and suddenly 20% up afterward.

    Jlcpcb and tariffs

    Well, thank you for educating me on that – I never knew it. Looking at the tracking, you’re right that it doesn’t look like it has been logged in yet physically anywhere in the US. Yet they are still claiming it will arrive here in Atlanta tomorrow, Although that just seems kind of doubtful to me.

    Jlcpcb and tariffs

    Well, to be clear, I’m still confused about aspects of this. De minimis to my mind usually only refers to customs duties because we’ve never really had tariffs. Some articles say they’re the same things, some say they’re not. So I’m kind of wary that tariffs might still be payable on any amount...

    Jlcpcb and tariffs

    So far, according to the executive order, the elimination of the de minimis exemption only applies to imports coming from China, so I don’t think that would affect Tayda. Am I missing something?

    Well Robert, this is what you get for not buttering them up by finishing that trace of the EQD Swiss Things. 😆

    Supreme is basically a fast fashion/streetwear/hype brand - people (including, once, unfortunately me with my daughter) lineup around the block outside their store because they do daily drops of exclusive streetwear merchandise and shit like that. Way overpriced and you’re buying the shit to be...

    Jlcpcb and tariffs

    I’m wondering if some people – whether the shippers, the courier, or someone else, is pushing to get things under the tariff wire. I got notice from Tayda early this morning that they were shipping my package (although it had not been dropped with the carrier yet). Once UPS got the package a...

    Need Wiring Diagram for 3PDT Breakout Board with Output Boost

    I take it the diagram means that you can plug the wires from the input and output jack to either of the in/out pads and the signal will get to the appropriate place it needs to be on the foot switch. You don’t need to wire up both and you don’t need to do any any additional wiring between that...

    Great idea! I actually just bought several Trimmits from Robert in my last order – not because I specifically needed them for anything but because I figured they would be useful if I ever did need them. And now you have identified a good first use case. Thanks!
