    New project stuff maybe?

    very ambitious 3-D printing on the guitar body. maybe you can build in a couple of truss rods along each side of the pickups on your next print.

    Ambassador - Matchless Hotbox project

    "happily on 9v with a charge pump" is mostly correct -- meaning it runs with its own 9v power supply and gets high voltage/low amperage output from the inductor/555/mosfet design that keeps the preamp tube(s) running in spec. clarifying since most projects we build with charge pumps are...

    Hi-gain modern fuzz that isn't muddy/has clear note definition?

    or you could build a muffin factory and try a lot of different combinations of the switches to see if any of them strike your fancy.

    Algorithmic Reverb for Terrarium

    I don't think that the regulator is the source of the whine you are hearing, but it would be good to confirm if swapping to a different regulator makes a difference. The patches that changed the block size did a good job of reducing the whine.

    Basic Relay Bypass (Latching) - LED changes but stays bypassed

    so, you can do check the following: I can't tell from your pics, but make sure you have the transistors in the right locations since 3 is a 2n3906 while the other three are 2n3904 with the power on, do you hear a click from the relay when you press the footswitch? I suspect not since the...

    Problem with my Chaos Pedal PCB

    if the pedal worked right for a while but does not work now it seems more likely that something else is shorting out on the board from when you worked on replacing the resistor. the continuity you are measuring is a short to ground which can happen lots of places. look carefully for solder...

    Problem with my Chaos Pedal PCB

    the continuity across the capacitor may not be shorting at the capacitor if the part is still in the board. try removing the cap and check for continuity at the mounting holes on the board. if there is continuity there with the cap removed, the problem is elsewhere. you can then test the cap...

    A simple Relay Bypass

    what does the cost per board look like for this version? also, what kind of i/o jacks are you using for the other board?

    Amazon CA3240EZ Op-Amp

    you could risk spending $15 or so to find out. there are cheaper sources from china on ebay for the chip, so that probably accounts for the supply for this seller.

    Terrarium programming help

    I suggest sending the company an email and ask whether you should get an exchange. I had one defective Seed that they replaced last year.

    This Week on the Breadboard: The Tube Bender Deluxe

    Besides the nice range of sustain on the notes in your demo, what do you think about the pedal? Did the pedal feel responsive to playing dynamics? Can you compare it to a regular tube bender?

    SOLVED Does slowly building noise indicate a specific failing component?

    maybe your pedal is fine as is. are you running multiple pedals on one power supply? have you tried a different power supply to see if you still get the noise?
