Musikding supplied me with 2N5457 for the Parentheses kit. On his site, the page for the unavailable PF5102 says: "Since the PF5102 are no longer manufactured, and unfortunately there are also many fakes in circulation, the FET will probably no longer be available in the future. However, the...

🙈

Thought about doing this as well, but there's such great (experimental) springs out there like (especially, really) the Vermona Retroverb, that I'd need to see something really well thought out on the DIY scrne instead of keeping an eye out in the second hand market where they're rather...

Very true. But I thought, considering the price Klaus would order these pre-installed from PedalPCB. I would think soldering SMD would have been mentioned, because it takes a bit of extra skill. Like a warning / disclaimer or whatever.

You're going to start a thread in the build reports section, right? 😊

Yeah, they pop up all the time when Googling stuff. Good to know I need to not trust them blindly. :)

Banzai unreliable? :/ Ordered a bunch of ICs from them for future builds...

Oh, my first FV-1 (VHS) arrived from Musikding, and the chip didn't come presoldered; quite unexpected! Anyway, once I tie that thing to the board nothing should surprise me anymore. Flux syringe, truly the blood that feeds the iron.

I am sure Klaus will solve the issue with adapters? He might be better of playing it safe with these components.

Yeah, it's why I am happy to see PedalPCB adds SMD compatibilty to their boards with these now-obscure parts. Though you should try and practice some before doing so on a build, soldering them is quite easy actually... When ordering one of the pedals below at Musikding, Klaus' BOM actually...

9 kits, no mistakes yet. I do measure them, trying to turn this into a habit instead of a hassle. I tend to grab the kits with weird components that I would otherwise need to order from multiple sources. If it's just typical stuff, I buy straight from PedalPCB.

Just a 6000,- rack valve amp. Bonkers! I recently passed the "my most expensive gear" via a 4000,- synth, and am still kinda shaking my head about it... Really not hoping to exceed this, but who knows. Ah well, my relatives could sell it to fund a sober funeral for me. So it's not all bad!

Why is there no PCB yet for this classic? :unsure:

So, which one did you go for in the end? :) Having no tweed drive yet, I put the Indiana Tweed (Tweed 57) on my wishlist... (Glad my little local J201 source still has stock, as this one needs six). I do remain curious if something else hides beyond my attention... Update: There's the Tweed...

It did clear up why these things sell at such a price, for sure. But the long-windedness of it all, it's such a common way to lengthen content without adding value. In a time where everyone is busy with lots of things all the time, it boggles my mind that straight to the point videos have become...

Christ, I hate contemporary youtube... Two minutes in, and have only heard him saying the same things over and over... Eleven minutes in, and I have barely been listening and moved on with my things here.

Recognized the op-amp muff in the Downtown being similar toe the Timmy, though it doesn't include the cap for filtering. Would it be as simple as running one parallel with R26? There isn't much to tweak in this fuzz, it seems, but I get what I can to make it a bit more my own. This effect...

In a fun world, this would phrase would be used by a nurse as a euphemism for giving toilet assistance to a patient...

Reverb showed me this unit just now. I tend to dislike these pointer knobs (too much detail, I guess?), but in this configuration, their unique shape really shines. <3 Just an inspiration-thingy I thought to drop here!
