    Beginner confused with BOM

    The letters at the end semiconductor names tell you things about how it has been packed for distribution and tells you if its consumer or industrial grade (the latter usually can stand higher temperatures, and tends to be slightly more expensive). For our purposes, if the initial letters and...

    Does anyone have any artwork for the new L5 Preamp?

    Concidering you only have this little square box, surrounded by all these switches and knobs, to work with, I'd ditch the idea for art and design some sort of interweaving "L5" logo. Think caligraphy, or street tags, or company logos.

    For inspirational purposes... Real spring with a pedal for controls. https://anasounds.com/element-spring-reverb/ But why stop there? You could go all the way and slap a few boards together in a box, resulting in something like:

    Sorry, not sorry: Chase Bliss Mood MK2. It's my always on / end of chain pedal. Often just for the reverb, or sometimes I add some looping texture in the back to make noodling less boring, without the need of chaining up much else beside some initial sound coloration. I also have the Ventris and...

    Why Did I Buy This Vol. 2

    Isn't there some software that you can run to search inside all pdfs inside a folder structure? Windows search reads inside txt files, which has helped me out quite a bit, but pdfs would truly be a godsent.

    Anyone ever clear coat polished aluminum?

    Yeah, all those cans with uv resistant clear coat... You can only tell after some years if they didn't lie.... Clearcoat that can take some more abuse: epoxy resin clear coat. It's can be applied thickly enough so you can repolish it once in a while.

    Anyone ever clear coat polished aluminum?

    Makes me think of those chrome boxes by Red Witch. They looked terrible to me. All those fingerprints! The low effort screen printing (basic labeling of knobs) didn't help. But I often wondered if something nifty could be done; like, mirror shine that actually adds to the artwork presented on...

    Greer Amps Black Mountain volume pot

    The classic calculator; you need the tapered pot section: https://www.diystompboxes.com/analogalchemy/emh/emh.html (I never bothered changing the % field. Never noticed an issue with keeping it on 90, but have no clue as to what it's supposed to do. Anyone?)

    When I saw the pets of PPCB thread I knew I was in good company. I don't think I've ever entered a community with as much dog folk as here. <3 - It's why I knew this was the right place for such sharings! Pretty much all my friends are cat people. Yeah, I don't know how that came to be. But...

    circuit modifications in amps

    Sounds like you want to circuit bend, but without any true aim as to what you want to achieve? I'd at least source a schematic so you can tell which component belongs to which part of the circuit (eq, drive, volume, etc...) so you can swap caps to change filtering or the things that cause clipping.

    Came across this signal path tattoo. Not hard to picture some geeky circuit line art on someone in this corner of the net! :)

    Last year, Aion updated their Sunn Beta boards to fight those oscillation issues you are having. It looks like an easy addition to those with old boards. Is this what you were experiencing? "In version 1.2, we added a trimmer called “Treble Limit”. This is a variable resistor in series with the...

    Help: Sunn Beta Preamp Mid-Freq Mod

    Such a knob would be called frequency. The L5 uses a rotary for this (likely the easiest to implement a bunch of frequency shifts, via the available daughter boards on the market). The Bajaman Ampeg SVT circuit is another such case.
