    TPA3118 60W Power Amp Module

    Not really, but it would go like this: Guitar - buffer - buffer out to volume pot pin 1, pin 3 to ground, pin 2 to second buffer input, second buffer output to TPA3118. The IC buffers I've been building have worked fine. I haven't knowingly used a jfet buffer with it.

    TPA3118 60W Power Amp Module

    Dude, there's really nothing to these. Build a buffer on vero, run that to a pot, run that to another buffer vero, run that to the poweramp pcb. I don't even know if you need the 2nd buffer, but I put it there to get rid of any issues having a pot immediately before the pcb.

    Keep all your builds?

    I've done a bit of that too. Usually to kids of friends who've started playing or have really started coming along.

    Keep all your builds?

    If you have a look at my build reports in the Madbean forums, you'll see I put a fair bit of effort into the enclosures which probably helps. When I sell a personal or commision build I always tell the buyer that I will fix it free if anything pops up as long as they pay postage. PCB based...

    Keep all your builds?

    Surprisingly, I don't have a lot of issues moving vero builds on, but I also have full disclosure in the marketplace ads. I'm not sure the pcb makes that much difference if you're doing high level artwork.

    Keep all your builds?

    Nah, I've sold most of what I build but didn't use, something like 70 pedals all up. Gotten some decent guitars with all that.

    TPA3118 60W Power Amp Module

    Ok, here's my 3116 based build. The vero at the bottom is a dual buffer with the volume pot wired between them, with a 9v regulator and 330n flown off it.

    TPA3118 60W Power Amp Module

    Ok. So, I picked up a secondhand [email protected] laptop supply and hooked up the new "150w" board and plugged it into a passive wedge (measuring 10ohm, 12inch speaker and horn of some sort) that I have and compared it to the little blue "60w" board. The results are thus: Big Red: - Turning the...

    TPA3118 60W Power Amp Module

    One of these arrived today too. Should be interesting as it says it has a preamp attached. It's probably 3 times the size of the previous board though. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33017016220.html

    TPA3118 60W Power Amp Module

    Ok, I grabbed a 3116 a while ago, powered it off a secondhand laptop power supply and just had heaps of noise with it. Didn't work well at all. Anyway, I recently grabbed a 3118 and hooked it up to the same laptop PS. Running my Mooer Preamp Live into it gives it heaps of volume and I control...

    Thermionic Deluxe Channel LED

    From memory, I used an RGB led, cut the green lead off, and used that for my channel selection. I did it off the switch, iirc.

    Tayda Coupon Code Thread

    The image fidelity isn't as good as the laser printer on datapol, but it seems to be more durable, not that I've tested it out that hard. I don't think Tayda will get close to this (laser printed datapol sticker with Upol (might be Spraymax 1k, can't remember) clear coat):

    Thanks, they're just Tayda knobs.

    Building 250 Distortion. Question about cap value (47nf)

    You can stick whatever diodes you like in it. I liked BAT41 (might have been 46?) to ground with back to back red LEDs across pins 1 and 3 of the gain pot. I'm mostly going off the Dist+ here though, but it's much the same thing. I found that some worked better than others.

    Tayda Coupon Code Thread

    I used the Tayda UV printing on a couple of their powdercoated, predrilled pedalpcb enclosures. My artwork isn't that great as I rushed it to get in by the deadline, but it's usable. Converting the artwork to a vector can take some of the detail away. I clearly missed deleting a few white...

    PSU for TPA3118 Power Amp

    You can grab a second hand laptop power supply for minimal dollars from the junk box at most computer shops. Grab one that puts out around 30v @3a or so, and cut the jack off so you can hook the wires up to whatever you want. I have a 3116 or something like that, that I was experimenting with...

    120p in Thermionic builds...

    Ok, so an update - did upped the 120p to 1n5 in two boards (one a pedalpcb board, the other not), and it removed the squeal in both. The PEdalpcb board is substantially quieter than the other BE-OD board.

    120p in Thermionic builds...

    Gudday all. I built a Thermionic OD way back when with one of the original or 2nd run boards. I swapped the 120p out for a 1.5n and that pedal, from memory, didn't have any squeal or whistle as a result. I certainly didn't need a buffer in it, and it's since been sold. I've built the...

    Thermionic Deluxe background noise/hum/hiss

    Yeah. If there's nothing plugged in and the pedal isn't bypassed there's plenty of noise. Took it to band praco today, and while it sounds fantastic, it's pretty noisy compared to a number of my other drives/builds.
