    My New Favorite, The Chickenhead

    So, I just built one of these boards up for a friend and in testing, I am hearing a pretty prominent ocean/white noise sound when I am not playing. I can mitigate it a little by turning the gain way down (where is the fun in that?) or biasing it to a very low voltage, but I am wondering if I got...

    TPA3118 60W Power Amp Module

    I noticed a big bump in volume when I ran my Sansamp into it. Not enough to push it into "playing with a drummer" territory, but a noticable difference for sure.

    TPA3118 60W Power Amp Module

    I bought this one and it’s worked out well so far: SUPERNIGHT 24V Power Supply, AC 100-240V to DC 24V 3A Power Adapter Transformer Converter for LED Strip Light, CCTV, Router, ADSL https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0759JPVVP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_a7PZEb29TYMTB

    TPA3118 60W Power Amp Module

    Yeah, I just ran the ground to the board ground and the input jack, I believe. I have not noticed any heat issues, but I haven't pushed mine very hard or used it a ton. And I've only run it into a 16ohm cab so far. Here is a pic of mine, but it's really messy, so apologies in advance. I kind of...

    Protoboard pin connectors

    I just ordered male to female breadboard jumper wires from amazon. Seem like they will fit the bill.

    TPA3118 60W Power Amp Module

    Yeah, in the forum post the person who designed that circuit was talking about filtering out AC. And yeah, I ordered some of those caps thinking I'd use the and they are gigantic!

    TPA3118 60W Power Amp Module

    The only other thing that comes to mind is if you get the 24v, 3amp power supply, make sure all of your components (ac inlet especially) are rated for that much current. I think I went with some metal 2.1mm, center positive metal ones that fit my power supply, I believe.

    TPA3118 60W Power Amp Module

    BTW, in case you haven't found a schematic, I based mine off of this one: https://i.redd.it/nwofw4ve4g921.jpg Note that I omitted the 4700u cap. I tried with and without and didn't notice much of a difference in the noise floor. ymmv.

    TPA3118 60W Power Amp Module

    I built one of those boards up into an enclosure and didn't really notice any impedance issues. It is very flat, EQ-wise, but even running our ol Tech21 Sansamp through it made a huge difference. The Fender settings sounded really good! Note that for optimum volume, you'll want the highest power...

    Tayda Coupon Code Thread

    Yeah, I had a pretty large cart in waiting for a couple weeks and when they didn't post a code after the 1st, I got tired of waiting and just went ahead with the order. Shipped yesterday though, so it seems like their warehouse team is maybe moving faster again.

    Swarms - Noise Ensemble vero board

    I feel bad for my wife and kids! First it was this, then the Robot pedal... next is a 4093 NAND Synth, then a Parasit Studios Multiwave Mega. It's going to be a noisy Summer around these parts.

    Swarms - Noise Ensemble vero board

    I built up this variant of the Noise Ensemble circuit a couple months ago. I added in the infinite repeats mod from Parasit Studios, and also a separate delay time control for infinite mode, so when you hit that momentary repeat switch, it can have a faster and way glitchier repeats. It's a fun...

    Robot

    Finally finished up this Robot PCB the other night. It's a weird pedal, but that's what I was hoping for. Arp setting is definitely the most enjoyable setting!

    Little shout-out to Mouser

    Oh! Jealous about the Triumph! I got my rider endorsement about four years ago, then hit some financial struggles and have not been able to justigy buying one. That was one of the top models on my wish list.

    Little shout-out to Mouser

    I just got one of the "black sand" enclosures from Tayda for building the Parasit Multiwave Mega into. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it's a neat, textured flat-ish black finish.

    Little shout-out to Mouser

    @HamishR I agree, it takes me much longer to source stuff on the Mouser site. It's hard to know which things are the correct dimensions/values. I find myself doing much more measuring and datasheet reviewing before pulling the trigger there.

    @music6000 Ugh, I'm sorry to hear that!

    Removing potentiometers

    @EdJ They are fairly common potentiometers, you just have to order right-angle PCB mount ones. Tayda is a good source for that stuff. It definitely makes building these boards much easier and tidier! :)

    Little shout-out to Mouser

    I did a very small order on Mouser for a couple things I couldn't get at Tayda, which is usually the case when I order from them. Got the below email today and just thought they deserved some appreciation for the extra customer service.
