Sure, PM me your snailmail and I'll send them. It may be a few days, because my 15yo is totally fixated on the mini-amp, preferring it over the 1x10 and 1x12 amps in their room. It has an interesting crunch tone, and I'm gonna convert it to a head when I can get my hands on it. But I can swap...

I too am confused. But I would imagine that since it's working in reverse--full volume CCW, no volume CW--the taper wouldn't need to change in order for it to otherwise feel like an A taper? The "S" shape is backward, but it would still be most gradual at either end and faster change in the...

Nerf enthusiasts sometimes mod their blasters with these: https://www.nerfmodshop.com/shop/p/led-vm ---or are you looking for a more fully featured multimeter?

Gonna try it! The onboard speaker is 8 ohms so it will be an easy thing to test. I took a look inside but haven't done the cutting of plastic needed to fully liberate the internals yet.

Pardon the necropost, but I thrifted a Fender MD-20 mini amp the other day--it's got four 18mm chickenhead knobs (push-on 18-tooth, short shafts). I was reminded of this thread. It sounds like a carton of lousy and is barely worth the $7.95 I paid for it, if the case can potentially fit a...

There's this mysterious knob: https://www.quilterlabs.com/index.php/product/micro-chicken-heads/

Steinberg/Yamaha and Roland/Boss tend to update drivers for their legacy devices, much more reliably than say M-Audio or Avid/Mbox. My kid uses the cheap Behringer UM2 with a GLS 57-style mic and I can't hear the difference from high end stuff at work. The School of Rock kids at their HS have...

I once attended a workshop where the presenter demonstrated his preferred desoldering method: move the iron around the relevant pads for a few seconds, then whack the board on the corner of a table to launch the part away.

I use the FX888d in my office. It works fine, but I really dislike the temp adjustment. I set it for my usual temp (330C, no offense to anyone 🙃) and a couple steps up for high-mass joints. I find it necessary to keep that part of the manual taped to the wall behind it. If I regularly switched...

Where in the signal path did you put the tone stack?

So cool! Getting away from the power transformer is a victory on its own. I built the Firefly on the last (I think) PCB revision and it definitely earns its reputation as a one trick pony. It also doesn't boost well into high gain (I don't like how that sounds anyway), probably due to the...

I recently got some from Jameco for US$3.95. I haven't tested them in a circuit yet. Good luck!
