    What's on the workbench?

    does one of us have to go add a load of chase bliss pedals on the wish list now? - I'm sure would be fun and super easy to trace/build :eek: on that note, I was having a chat with my brother who works in the erm live music hardware sector... and he was convinced chase bliss are using FPGA in...

    Epic fail recovery (L4 functioning)

    also share photos of your boards - might be one of our eagle eyes might spot something. Mine works and is the closest to an helix amp sim in solid state I've heard - big fat complex tone. Then I rebought a HX stomp and retired it

    Epic fail recovery (L4 functioning)

    You can test if it's the power supply by measuring the voltage on +15 and -15 coming off the breakout boards. It might be the first time someone points out a positive about Aion's breakout boards, but testing this one is one of them!

    Skeptical buffer introduces noise when harmonics switch engaged

    have you tried it with a basic setup? guitar-pedal-amp - and then the power to the pedal not connected to anything else? does changing your guitar pickup selection and volume/tone change the noise? It's possible the high input impedance is making something audible that's being filtered out...

    What's a buffer, how do they work and why would we want one?

    Thanks for this thread - found it after thinking about buffers

    What's on the workbench?

    I have no idea what this pedal actually is, but have seen it around and it's the best name for a pedal I've seen in a long time! It can be a passive volume attenuatator with a LED on off inside for all I care, but great name

    Skeptical buffer build (a bassist’s build report)

    cheers! :) figured it was fine but confused me when it wasn't working to begin with

    Skeptical buffer build (a bassist’s build report)

    Question for @Robert ... I was getting +17.7 and - 17.7v from the power ... which makes sense to me based on the spec of the power chip (9v doubled, minus the voltage drop over the diodes) But the build doc say +-15v - which I can't see how it would do? Not complaining as an extra 5.4v...

    Professional vs amateur-ish in PCB design

    As a professional graphic designer who spends my working life doing graphic design, I can confirm reducing it down to “contrast” is an amateur approach 🤷

    Skeptical buffer build (a bassist’s build report)

    Marked as 4 star “good” because there really is a limit to how excited you can get with a buffer!

    Skeptical buffer build (a bassist’s build report)

    here’s an odd one, a bloody buffer, who needs a buffer? Well a while back I helped a mate build a PPCB frequency interchange filter, and trying it at the start of my signal chain - even with the filters turned to have as little effect as possible it seemed to make a big change to my pedalboard...

    What's on the workbench?

    Quick scan says over 740 pcb listed - and when you’ve done that you get onto the secret big boss PCB … and then it’s game over. Completed the game and you’re ready for death, pass on your 750+ little boxes to your bewildered kids and find out what happens in the afterlife, or get eaten by worms...

    Professional vs amateur-ish in PCB design

    oh no there's enough experts it's complex enough product you couldn't do it without - it's just Putin's war managed to delay us from when the gov said we needed it deployed

    Professional vs amateur-ish in PCB design

    I was talking to one of the guys at work about something we're developing. There's a component that has to be kept between 4.9 and 5.1v - and if it detects fluctuations it bricks itself and has to go back to the manufacturer for a reset. This is a good security feature. Then the 240v - 5v...
