    Warwick Hellborg preamp transformer question

    They do but didn’t want to share it with me, the email conversation was typical of a German speaker who deals with B2B getting an email from a non German speaking end user …. A wee bit lost in translation

    KiCAD or Eagle?

    I worked out KiCad ok, the libraries are annoying. My suggestion is budget for a few orders from your fave cheap pcb supplier and expect to make mistakes on the first few… Some of mine were… Holes too small to let me desolder and change parts if I made a mistake Realising why everyone uses...

    Do you prefer lead or lead-free solder?

    I just bought some lead free. So far… It’s like going back to school and learning how to weld and the welder is on the wrong setting … there’s a learning curve. Hate it. But, not having to scrub everything down quite so much after using it. Love it

    Can I tent/combine any of these values to make 750R?

    Still got the cough, but no longer a zombie and able to work (from home) and walk the kids to school and nursery - so recovering. We’ve also had the first glimmers of spring weather so that’s been nice. Thanks for asking.

    Can I tent/combine any of these values to make 750R?

    Nah I was questioning your shopping list of 1/4W and 1/8W - and typed it wrong as I’m full of some virus at the moment!

    Unfortunately rewiring the building isn’t in scope (but isn’t a bad idea!)

    Can I tent/combine any of these values to make 750R?

    Honest question- why mix 1/4 and 1/2 W?

    LED lights and charge pump issues... asking here as struggling

    So thoughts... Additional DI with ground lift after the colourbox to isolate from PA Something to isolate the hx stomp from the colourbox.... Is it the power supplies in both combining, how does the stomp ground?

    LED lights and charge pump issues... asking here as struggling

    So asking here as it's full of people with knowledge.... and this is a problem I had 3 years ago and sold the pedal... then bought it back.... I have a pedal board. It sounds good. Power comes from a Cioks DC7 - with isolated supplies, included grounds isolated from one another. The DC7 plugs...

    Warwick Hellborg preamp transformer question

    My favourite preamp ever is a Warwick Hellborg one - they made it for a short time and a silly price ... then blew them out cheap at Thomann and I hesitated and missed out... the thing is the magic was in the first preamp stage - I could turn the DI off and it would still sound great... From...

    Who's down for some SMD layouts?

    A pcb 1-2mm smaller wouldn’t be any harder for beginners

    Who's down for some SMD layouts?

    I could, and last time I almost did, till I decided to have a go myself, used PCB assembly for the SMD parts and shrunk it into a Gorva M45 - which is cool and that but I would have appreciated buying the PPCB pub rather than do that. If the default Pedal PCB pcb size was a few mm narrower it...

    Who's down for some SMD layouts?

    A few mm narrower and it could have gone in 1590b, just a few mm, or small fraction of an imperial inch if you prefer… just a tiny bit, wafer thin - and it could have fit! I believe in your layout skills- and I know it’s a very tight layout with a lot of large components… but I bet you can do it!
