Its a mega expensive meter but is pretty reliable for most things, do they generally measure capacitance well?

Ok, just got my hands on a multimeter that can read capacitor values and it is showing readings that the capacitors should be. I recalibrated the tester and it is showing 76nf for 100nf cap whereas the multimeter is showing 101nf. Am I right to assume the DMM is more accurate and I need to bin...

Great thanks guys

OK, how do i do that?

Cheers, previous batches from tayda have read pretty close to what it says on the bag so I thought the tester was accurate. Can anyone recommend a good tester?

I am reasonably new to this and for my latest builds I have started testing components more stringently. Most of my components have come from Tayda and I am finding that a lot of the components are not within tolerances. Metal film resistors are not within 1% but seem close enough I think...

Hahaha, thanks for not telling me I was an idiot. I've been googling 1n4768 which is 9v1, not 1n4678!!!

Did you use the 1n4768 diodes that it says to in the build docs? I'm a little confused there as the silk screen on the PCb says 1v8 diode doesn't it?

I'll be very interested when you do. This is such a great sounding circuit

Thanks, I have a feeling I have some ldrs lying round, need to check what they are. Has anyone used anything different?

Hi Everybody, Just ordering some parts for some new builds, and I was wondering if the LDR's and LED's are the same for the pendulum as for the double? Also If anyone has a wiring diagram for the double pendulum mother/daughter board and stereo jacks that would be awesome. It's my first stereo...

Sorry guys, just reviving an old thread again. I've built a thermionic and it's possible my favourite/most used build. Now I want to do a thermionic deluxe and I stumbled on this thread. What I would like to achieve is a thermionic in one channel and one of the other Friedman designs in the...

Hi guys, I'm hunting for the following build documents: Souldrive - if the silk screen is accurate I could maybe order components off that, I'm assuming it's a 125b enclosure, can probably use a similar drill template. Double pendulum - more info the better here. ADHD - I ordered a PCB and...

Cheers, definitely going to give that one a go, might try a couple of the others too

Thats on my list to buy for myself actually! I just bought myself a dodgy clone of a jan ray very cheap from a not very reputable effects manufacturer and I'm really surprised at how much I like it. You're totally right, if I had to describe it I'd say halfway between my Tim and a screamer!

I've built one and it is a good one, I might lend it to him to see what he thinks. I use it primarily as a boost to boost high gain stuff and it sounds good with almost anything. Just checked out Aion too, they got lots of goodies there.

Thats an interesting prospect too, I've seen the Aion name round a bit here and have been meaning to check them out, is it the same set up as here with the PCB's and all?

Thanks, I'll have a read through

Landgraff, another one I haven't heard of, I'll look into that one too!

I had barely heard of the plimsoul until now, maybe I'll build one for my self as well. I build the pedalpcb plumes and I must say its one of my favourite TS styles. I've heard lots about the frost drive too, seems to get a good wrap.
