Sounds like a great idea!

I agree completely Big Monk. It could be potentially difficult to weed through and find information. This is opposite of what I intended for the database. I don't know exactly how I would go about forming an external database or wiki. I don't have the resources for it. Right now the ID is in a...

This thread is for anything relating to the Information database. The information database will be referred to as ID for short in this thread. The purpose of this thread is to ask questions about information on the ID. If I can't help you, I will try to get someone with more experience and...

Category 1: Transistor Biasing And HFE One of the best sources for info about HFE is Chuck D. Bones thread on it, titled What's all this HFE stuff about? On this thread, Chuck gives a great explanation on HFE, and goes into some detail about biasing...

Please don't comment or start a discussion on this thread. An information database discussion thread is intended for comments or discussions. I am going to create an Information Database (or ID for short) that offers an accessible and easy way to get information on a multitude of projects and...

Bewildered laughs and HVAC advice are definitely good contributions. You seem to excel at building pedals! :)

I've been thinking, what can I contribute? How can I help this community with my limited knowledge? Well I know I can't help all that much other than a quick comment or build report, but I'm learning a lot everyday because of very generous and knowledgeable people on the forum. While I was...

Maybe. I will test it tomorrow!

Battery.

It seems to be more of a signal thing. After a note has sustained for a while on the bridge pickup it starts to oscillate. If you play soflty on the neck pickup it oscillates as well. I don't know what the problem is. Sorry that I kinda hijacked the thread.

You guys have any oscillation issues? Mine has it especially on the neck pickup. I have heard that lm386 ICs do that, just wanted to ask if you guys have experienced that. It is kind of an issue for me.

I have a tester that looks just like that. I don't have a good breadboard though. Any suggestions?

Thanks for all the info guys! I will do more research.Thankfully out of production and rare parts is not always a problem for me...

Do you mean that weird oscillating effect after a note is held for a long time? Sorry if that isn't useful at all, my El Sol does that for some reason.

Ok. I don't know how I would determine what is an acceptable he range for individual pedals. I probably can't do either of the methods Chuck described.

I don't really even know what the hFE means or how to match them. I know almost nothing about transistors.

Sandspur maybe. Also curious about the transistors for the fuzz foundry deluxe.

I just wanted some info on transistors in fuzz pedals. I know nothing about the gain you want or matching transistors or stuff like that. If someone could give me a complete rundown of transistors in fuzz pedals, I would appreciate it greatly.

Thank you. I was just curious because I recognized the IC name before.

I know that the 45580 number is one of the tube screamer ICs, but what are the values below that? Would they be useful for pedal building?
