    This Week on the Breadboard: The Lingonberry OD

    I have built this too, from the same trace that Chuck used. This is the Layout I drew up and it works! No mods in this layout. I have also built a version of it with some of my mods. This reduces distortion and sounds good to me - but it's not really a Lingonberry OD any more. The BASS...

    Rick Beato interviews David Gilmour

    Every time I listen to the first Pretenders album I am amazed at how good Jimmy Scott was. What a loss. If he had lived who knows how good he might have become? I love that first album and the guitars sounds take me back to 1979, being very much a beginner guitarist trying to work out how...

    Rick Beato interviews David Gilmour

    I think there are plenty worse than Beato. He can be annoying sometimes but you can say the same about anyone really. Some episodes are better than others. I get tired of hearing about the same bunch of bands over and over from other youtubers. I really don't need to hear any more about Led Zep...

    Random pix

    Just discovered some pics I had taken on my last trip to NYC in I think 2019. My wife was at a conference for a few days in a very hot and humid NYC July. one day I took the Roosevelt Island tramway and took some pics along the way.

    Wire Wars

    Tinning wire before making a connection used to annoy me but now I'm so used to it I don't even notice. I think that like a lot of this hobby having a great soldering iron tip makes all the difference in the world. Tinning is only a pain if your soldering iron makes it a pain. The tip does wear...

    Back-lit faceplate tutorial.

    I like the hat. Nice touch. I have a hat exactly like that actually! It's a white one I bought in Oakdale California almost 15 years ago and it's still going strong.

    Elk Super Fuzz Sustainar (Japanese Big Muff clone)

    @PedalBuilder that is a beautiful build! So clean and perfect! And I don't think Sustainar is a spelling error. I see it as an artistic choice. Sure, some artistic choices are unintentional but it's what happens when you are full of art. I like to see it as in the spirit of Gigantor. Gigantor...

    Back-lit faceplate tutorial.

    This isn't going to work at all. Where's the garnish? It's all too unprofessional. An Old Fashioned needs a garnish otherwise nobody will take it seriously. Apart from that it's quite clever I suppose.

    Wire Wars

    It never occurred the me to try anything other than the regular PVC 24g stuff from Tayda! It works fine for me. Never had a problem with it.

    Do you have any of Felicity Kendall's underwear that needs a really good wash?

    Space-saving mini-board Franken-thing

    My kinda pedal! Excellent! The only thing I would suggest is to hardwire the voltage regulator for the delay in there. I suspect that if you use the pedal on a gigging board that socket will cause problems soon enough. I really like the concept of the pedal though.

    Plague Spreader

    I was trying to work out what it was exactly that i liked about the artwork. Then I remembered the stencil street art I had seen in Europe - that's it! I have a thing for stencil street art. And it looks amazing as pedal art work too. And I'm looking forward to seeing your next builds: Roadkill...

    British royalty help

    I think you need a better soldering iron. (Not being funny!) It looks like you either don't have a hot enough iron and/or the tip isn't clean or pointy enough. I suspect that will be a major part of your problem. I was having trouble getting good clean connections recently so bought a new tip...

    What's the special nature of Russian 2D503B diodes?

    The journey of exploration of a diode's characteristics is a one-way ticket.

    PPCB Raincoat

    That's a clever way to sort your graphics! I like the Raincoat. I'm still waiting for the Anorak Tubescreamer and the Wellington Boot booster though to complete the set.

    Mother FCKR (Ram’s Head Big Muff repro)

    Kind of a shame nobody will ever see that components. Love the blob transistors - I have some similar to those. I didn't know you could get German 1N4148s. Wow. It must be the ultimate polka fuzz. Knee-slapping good!
