    Banzai disaster

    Hello Another order from Banzai and another disaster. I never lost money, but today this is the risk. I included in my order, with other stuff, this items: - CTS potentiometer with DPDT switch. BUT the description didn't say it was full shaft, and I needed a knurled shaft. - Cap selector switch...

    Mondo Power

    I bought some years ago, for mistake, two 4700uF cap. :rolleyes: Is the schematic available? Just to take a look, else it doesn't matter..

    Celsius Preamp (Boss CE-1 Preamp) -Update Noise issue FIX!

    On my breadboard I included the +9v/-9v supply and of course it worked (I was testing just the op-amp section). I got a lot of volume, and close at highest volume setting I got op-amp clipping (TL071), honestly it's not so nice. My emulator software says it's over 25db, after all. Even if it...

    Celsius Preamp (Boss CE-1 Preamp) -Update Noise issue FIX!

    I know it was something like that. Well, I have no reason to include the +9v/-9v power supply. I'm sure it will work fine. No, really. :D

    Celsius Preamp (Boss CE-1 Preamp) -Update Noise issue FIX!

    I redrawn the CE-1 preamp from the original CE-1 chorus (voltage part is simplified, just to work around on my software). I try it on breadboard, starting from same basic, I don't know if there's something wrong, because it doesn't work, though the schematic is that. First of all I excluded for...

    Celsius Preamp (Boss CE-1 Preamp) -Update Noise issue FIX!

    Did you place your pedal before or after the drive pedal? Being a chorus the CE-1 should be after eventually fuzz, drive, etc. Anyway, I'm working on it.

    Celsius Preamp (Boss CE-1 Preamp) -Update Noise issue FIX!

    As I said early to see the schematic would be great, but I think that should be just the same schematic we can see in the CE-1 Chorus Ensemble, with one exception. Looking the PCB here https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/pcb481/ in the MichaelW's PCB C2 is missing, but it seems to me that the...

    Celsius Preamp (Boss CE-1 Preamp) -Update Noise issue FIX!

    Too see the schematic would be very appreciated! Meanwhile, I have some concern about the hiss problem with this circuit. At least two users here had this problem, if I don't wrong. Someone built even this stripboard version, too, with the same noise...

    Celsius Preamp (Boss CE-1 Preamp) -Update Noise issue FIX!

    We don't have the schematic of this PCB, and I'm trying to understand, looking the PCB draw and this picture, if the resistors value are the same of the original schematic in the CE-1 or there are some adjustment and modify. But it's hard to say. Could someone reveal it, please?

    Clean Preamp for DIY practice amp - suggestions please

    Maybe a classic ROG Tonemender could be ok for your project. https://www.runoffgroove.com/tonemender.html Fendery, but even something more.

    TPA3118 60W Power Amp Module

    After I read your post I checked my TPA3118 PCB I bought from ebay. It's still close in the bag because I didn't try it. It has 28 pin, so it's a fake! What's the difference? It will work good as the genuine one? Max voltage, watt, noise, distortion... In an electronic forum I found this: Guy...

    New Alpha Potentiometers from Tayda feels loose

    The Alpha pots I bought from Musikding feel like that. I still never bought Alpha pot without dust cover from Tayda, but I suppose now Tayda sells exactly the same pots of Musikding.

    TPA3118 60W Power Amp Module

    I prefer the safe way. But I see several TPA3118 building with no big wattage resistor. This big resistor is just to use this amp with oscilloscope or I need it if I use the amp with a speaker to play the guitar? I found these: - 6.8 Ohm http://www.banzaimusic.com/6-8-ohm-100w-wirewound.html...

    TPA3118 60W Power Amp Module

    I forgot, but the speaker is 8 Ohm. Thanks, but I'm lost, a bit. Anyway, I didn't have any 100W 8R resistor, I don't have the oscilloscope. I thought to test the power amp with the guitar directly into it, and the speaker at the output. I checked again the datasheet, maybe I asked it before...

    TPA3118 60W Power Amp Module

    Meanwhile, I received my first TPA3118. I guess I have to wait the end of the summer to test it: power up with a 1-spot 1700mA PSU and then another cheap PSU for pedal, a RockPower 18v 2000mA. I'll use a 15w 8" speaker. Are there any risk of damage something with those stuff?

    Paragon mini

    It looks very fine! I'm looking this project right now and I have some doubts about the diodes. Common 1N4148 and 1N914 will sounds ok. But it's almost impossible to found the original ones. But even some good alternative diodes. What diodes in your built? Some advice about them? Thanks!

    I got a breadboard. Now what do I do?

    I use the breadboard sometime when I want to try some pedal but I'm not sure if I really want to build it. If I don't like it too much I try to change some parts. For example, now I have on my breaboard the LoFo Mofo. I didn't like it how I thought. Later my friend want to hear it, and then I...

    Should I Build a DS-1?

    I wondered it, sometime. But I never built it in eight years since I build pedals. I never had the original, but I'm curious to try it. I built some pedals I say sound and work better, but some mod in the DS-1 are fine and cool. It's easy enough to build it, but it's not a problem build some...

    Sansamp Classic reissue

    Hello. I never really be so interested in this pedal, but periodically I fall on it, and every time I see that the schematic we can find is never been verified. Probably it's close but not so accurate. Some values are guessed or unknown. Someone who built it had oscillation problem with higher...

    Tayda Electronics - shipping

    The LED, indeed, are not a problem, nor so urgent. But if I need I should order them somewhere else at the first occasion. The only problem it will cost more than Tayda, a bit less then once, but those are less convenient than Tayda. While the nuts, I afraid, are too much small to find in a...
