Can do!

Them big square greenies are Russian polystyrene 200nf caps. Yeah. I had to install stand offs to get em to fit.

Oh, well. Gee. I'm flattered! Then super special rich people only GLP-1 drugs sure to work wonders. Btw...you've still got a STALO with your name on it. Haven't forgotten. Just had to work out some assembly stuffs. Lookin much better now. Probably by June or before.

Oh, you know. Everywhere. Seriously. Look behind you!

They wouldn't be if they would WORK HARDER. Its ridiculous how the youth want to do such childish things all the time, like sleep. Every time I catch one napping in the middle of his 20 hour shift I have to dock him a bit of cheese.

Questions, comments, concerns? I added a few decoupling caps. It's not the most elegant layout, but it *should* work. I still gotta add text and instructions and such to the silk screen layer.

Behold! I've been on a tear recently, as vintage pedals have pissed me off with their vintage-ness. Ooohhh, you're all old and shit. Laaaa deeee dahhhh. Well, fuck you. I'm gonna make you worse. This one I bought simply because it's dimensionally similar to a colorsound...and the circuit...

I can confirm that's within the normal gain range for a BC109B. Great transistor for a wah pedal.

Thread title. This is the result of my long running Feud with Mike Matthews. You know what you did, Mike. So, I took apart his shitty pedal, and totally purposefully destroyed the el rad inductor that I was trying to pull off the circuit board to measure. So with that being the case, and...

SOLID idea! In fact, it would probably take less overall work if I was to do away with the automation aspect. All I would need is a voltage readout and an angle readout. I could input by hand. Another option, for sure.

Updates: Snarling Dogs. Got me one of these novelty gas pedal monstrosities. It uses a toroid and it's fucking weird. Low Q, S curved inductance. The circuit board is laid out for a transformer, not an inductor. I've read that on the earlier pedals they had to swap out a *ton* of those...

I'm hardly an expert here, *but*.... Maybe there's something here that you could achieve by adapting elements from the way Boss pedals handle their bypass switching? IIRC that's a 2 npn 2 n-channel Jfet setup. Not the smallest of parts counts, but I don't see why it couldn't be adapted for...

Mmm. I've fucked around lots with this. I recommend a two-step process: first, sculpt a new boss with steelstick epoxy putty as described. But what I will say about steelstick is that it is not very strong in and of itself. You will likely end up stripping the hole again with the fine...

Couple recent additions: I just got an older JEN Crybaby super. Its got one of the original red Fasel inductors, and the plastic cap was coming off a bit. So, I figured, let's take a look: Yup, lo and behold, it is a 1408 pot core. Strange one: typical pot cores I see only have two...

For sure! My plan would be to have that information silk-screened on the PCB. Each switch/led would have an indicator of which channel an "on" position would activate. In reference to the type of switch, Tayda sells these...

For sure. I've made a few changes in terms of cutting down the number of components, combining a few of those 4.7K's and 100K's as we're probably gonna never need to do more than one BBD at once. I added a piano switch instead of the rotary: the pin spacing is such that if one wanted, they...

Negative, I got smacked with an OT weekend thats made my mush brain. Doodley doo. Gonna try to get some more done this week.

Well folks, I got my first vox, and right away it went under the knife. VOX wahs have never been appealing to me due to the fact that they're...well... Here's the rub. Vintage vox wahs we're often made by the same Thomas Organ factories as crybabies, and they were built using the same parts...

I'm uncorrugatable. Lucky for me, corrugation requires a third dimension. Honestly, a stepper-to-pot setup would be the easier option here. Just requires a 1/8" to 1/4" coupling and a couple bits of L-bracket designed to be mounted parallel to each other. Stepper motors are about 200 steps a...

Updates: I'm dying to build a little wah pot tester. Something that I could, say, stick a pot in, directly tie the shaft of a stepper motor to, and run a program where it spins the pot from min to max and auto-populate an excel sheet with the resistance over its travel. I had done the...
