Excellent! Thanks for the confirmation 👍

Putting together some project carts, and there are a few JFETS that I can only find at reasonable prices in SMD versions. Some are listed as SOT-23 package types, and others are SC-59. Some googling suggests these may be essentially two names for the same format. Can anyone confirm, or refute...

If it was me, I’d just paint over those little copper gouges with some black nail polish. I assume Wet-n-Wild is a high-quality insulator 🤷‍♀️;)

My Mouser orders ship from TX. They may have multiple distribution centers, I’m not sure. But a good chunk of their inventory probably comes from tariffed countries, so they’re giving it too you as a line item rather than just doing across-the-board price increases. I’ve seen other businesses...

Isn’t the CE-1 pretty much straight out of the Jazz Chorus?

Shrike + Sabbath = 🤘🤘🤘🤘 I’ve got a (slowly disintegrating) homemade (used to be into screen-printing before I got into pedal building) Master of Reality shirt that I still wear. “Children of the Grave” is an underrated classic. Dig that Doctor Who bassline!;)

A related Public-service Announcement: I just ordered some weirdo Euro-bulbs from a German EBay seller, for this epic project http://jhaible.com/legacy/compact_clone/ that I’ll definitely finish in a timely fashion;) He messaged today saying “I just received a message from DHL stating that...

I’m curious if it could be pushed into FM territory (like when you modulate something with an audio-rate oscillator instead of an LFO) at all. I’ve got the old BYOC VB-2 clone, which I believe is the same circuit. I might stick some sockets in those two capacitor spots and mess around with it ;)

So then, would lowering the value of C22 & C23 give you faster rates?

Picked up a Karaoke Chorus PCB. Probably won’t get around to actually building it for a while, but was wondering if there’s an easy way to add a Mix pot? Comparing it to my old Pork Barrel (CE-2) schematic, the output sections look fairly similar. Could I just do this: * full, hi-res Karaoke...

Swapped in the new 50k Dual pot yesterday, and that’s done the trick. Never fun when a pedal doesn’t work 100% straight out of the gate, but it definitely feels better when it turns out to be a manufacturing glitch rather than your own ;) Agree that this does get a little noisy on the longer...

It’s a “pot condom” from GuitarPCB.com. I think he had purple ones at some point too. I cut the front of it to fit the dual-gang pot, which kinda worked (doesn’t fit super snug). Though it works better than the pot does at the moment! ;) Yucatán Jays are very cool. Saw a bunch when we went to...

I used some in my modular synth to make a Triple Attenuator/Passive Mixer. In jack > pot > (switched) Out jack (x 3) + one Sum Out jack. If you don’t plug into any of the individual Out jacks, they all go to the Sum. If you do plug into an individual Out, it’s removed from the Sum. Use it...

I just grabbed those channel locks cause they already had electrical tape on them (from another household project), so I wouldn’t have to worry about accidental shorting. I’m applying significant, but still fairly minimal in terms of what the pliers can do, force ;)

Here’s a PedalPCB Pitch Witch build. Gave myself plenty of offboard wiring on this one 😓 ;) But otherwise no real big challenges with the build. It features the Green Jay. A very common bird in far south Texas, but not to be seen anywhere else in the US...

The average pedal buyer (i.e. people not on this forum) isn’t ever looking at pedal guts to assess quality. They’re saying to themselves: “Well, I could buy from Boss, who have sold millions of pedals over 40+ years, and don’t seem to be on the brink of bankruptcy due to constantly returns of...

My experiences with the Foxx Tone circuit are: • a Danelectro French Toast • a GGG PCB w/ 1N34A’s from EBay that I made no attempt to match - wouldn’t have known how or why to, 15 years ago when I built it ;) In both cases the octave is really pronounced and un-subtle (as compared to something...

That’s worth repeating… Specifically, you want a bunch of TDA1022 and SAD1024, that’s where all of the vintage NOS-TOANZ are!!

This page has some diagrams of rotary wiring: https://beavisaudio.com/techpages/switches/

I don’t do much motor stuff, but almost all the (modern) breakers and panel screws I come across are square tip. Which you can also easily screw up (pun fully intended) with enthusiastic mis-application of a Phillips. I think the main problem is the number of supposedly “skilled tradespeople”...
