Try removing all your ICs (besides the LT1054) first so you can check an "unloaded" voltage from the charge pump. Then you can insert the ICs one at a time (remove power before inserting) and see which one is pulling the rail down. My guess is that there's a problem somewhere else that's trying...

Yup, I was open to leaving, but every alternative I found was more than a 175% increase in price while also being slower.

This sentence hurts me on a deep, meta-physical level because that is exactly how we operate at my job as well.

I've been shipping to Europe with zero changes to my process, packaging , or documentation. One customer (in Austria I think?) said the package was on hold and that customs was requesting a "declaration of compliance" before releasing it. I did a little reading and was able to put something...

Aaaaannnnnnndddd reversed on appeals, temporarily at least.

You're never going to get a completely flat response out of the Bassdude, the tonestack in that one is different from the typical Fender/Marshall/Vox stack where setting treble mids bass for 0-10-0 is flat. Can I ask why it's important to get a flat response? The goal of a pedal is to change...

I've always just used orbital sander and/or belt sander, acetone alone will not dissolve powdercoat like it will spraypaint. I will say that completely stripping an entire enclosure is a frustrating process and is likely to change the shape unless you're an expert sander, particularly on corners.

I used to leave pure white on my color layer for that reason, but I had a batch of 25 enclosures that were ruined because whoever was running the machine that day decided that my pure white was supposed to be printed white. I complained and was refunded for them, but it delayed my builds by a...

Yup, all of my builds with a D.I. use a different XLR daughter board that has an XLR output volume control down there by the ground lift switch.

Nope, C2C will never release a DIY project for an active Sushi Box product. If it ever gets discontinued at Sushi Box then it's fair game.

I'd have to re-read the thread to double check, but I thought it actually was one of them lol

Call me crazy, but something made me doubt that guy really had the secret to the meaning of life.

I placed an order May 14th, customs duties were charged at checkout. $191.67 of goods and a $107.18 customs charge.

I got another batch of quotes from one of the domestic PCB assembly shops I talked to last week at the convention. I gave everyone three designs and asked for quotes for 100 pieces of each so I can get an idea how they will land for the rest of my lineup. Then I compare their quotes with what I...

Nope. Amateur comes from the latin "amator" which means one who loves. It does not have any implication of excelling at something, it simply means someone who enjoys doing something. There are things that I enjoy doing that I am terrible at, which makes me an amateur at these. I take issue with...

So instead of splitting my orders to keep everything below $800, I guess now I'm grouping them together to try to keep them above $800? Weird but okay, works for me.

REW is what I used when I was developing the spec for the Unagi E4305 and testing prototypes, but that was a while ago and I haven't used it since.

Not a terrible idea, I've done that in the past for parts that JLC doesn't stock.

It's really down to gain level, it's about how loud you want the output to be. No reason not to try a 5751 as well.

Yep, that's me. I design things and talk about them on the internet instead of sleeping.
