Yeah, thanks. More just curious if others have had experience with bad J201s in the same batch. I hear about fakes often, but haven't had a batch of a particular component where half were bad before

Long story short, it looks like half my through-hole J201s are bad. Short story long: I was troubleshooting my in-progress Low Tide build, as it had farty, distorted output, which pointed to one of the JFETs. I assumed I had done a poor job soldering the surface mount 2Sk208, but my audio probe...

Ha. No worries at all. Glad it was helpful

You folks are making me jealous I don't have any metal can LM308s (just one lonely DIP left, then I'm stuck with OP07s, but haven't a/b'd them yet)

Oooh nice. I love a Fuzzrite, but haven't built one for myself yet. Also love Gorva enclosures, but haven't had the pleasure yet. Looking at the amp they are making with Templo Devices at the moment too.

Hey, welcome! Yeah, keeping the 4K7 on the board will mean it is in series with the built-in resistor in your pre-wired LED, so it will likely be dimmer than you want. I'd imagine you'd have to remove the 4K7 from the board and replace it with a jumper, otherwise you are breaking the connection.

For what it's worth, Tayda gave me a $10 credit in my account when I reached out to let them know about the issue. Thanks for all the suggestions!

My Tayda issues are usually with their powder coat, as I find some enclosures very delicate. This is one of the first times I've been unable to screw an enclosure shut (I've had to give some elbow grease to a few before, but not usually this bad).

Thanks for the tips, everyone! Long story short, I was able to get the screws in with a combination of trying a self-tapping screw first, then working a different screw back and forth a bunch. Unfortunately, the more stubborn hole took more work, as my test screw snapped off inside of it, so I...

Alas, no Harbor Freight here, but I'll keep an eye out for a set at somewhere similar

Oh great. Thanks! I'll grab one of these. Hot tip! Off to unscrew all my non DIY gear to see if any of the screws are self-tapping (after I Google what a self-tapping screw looks like. Ha)!

This might be the most complex circuit I've done on vero in a while. It barely fit in a 125B! VFE Old School tremolo in a glow-in-the-dark enclosure from Tayda (more on that later, argh). Bit of spaghetti inside, but this one is for me and I was excited to get it boxed up (took the photos...

Welcome! Great community here, for sure. You'll fit right in. Any projects on your list?

As someone who has been building off and on for a good number of years now I still get thrown off when there's no mention of what a particular trimpot does in the build docs (not just here---try dialing in the Blue Warbler from JMK without needing to google what's what), so I can sympathize with...

I left a message in the notes section of the order and they responded pretty quickly

I did DHL for my latest large-ish order and asked Tayda to mark the value low. Paid about $25 extra in expected DHL fees, which was cheaper than any of the other options available, but YMMV

Woah! This is amazing. Very inspiring

Yeah, I haven't ordered from him in ages, but Barry always seemed great to deal with.

Yikes. Shipping to Canada makes it prohibitive to get some mojo. I've got a few OP07s and a dip 308 but haven't compared them yet

Wow. That's awesome---very inspiring! Nice job
