It’s never too late if you feel inspired to jump in!

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll move forward with the 16v I have on hands!

I'm building the Powder Blue next and while picking the components, I noticed that the 120uF caps I have in stock are rated 16 volt. My basic circuit knowledge/understanding is that in this case it should be safe but I want to make certain that i'm reading this correctly... There is no voltage...

Certainly seams to get the flux out without any of the hard work. I obviously do out before installing the pots. So far it doesn't seam to damage anything on the component side where it might drip every now and then ... which I clean right away with kim wipes when it does.

I use MG Chemicals flux remover for PC board with a tooth brush and kim wipes. It is strong so I don't know if there is a down side on using this product but it seems to be working so far.

Ok ... i'm no expert but I don't think that quantity 1% film resistors, Wima MKSII Caps and quality Nichicon or panasonic when Electrolytic caps are required is making a compromise ... to my knowledge they are not consolation prize components. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong ... no offence...

vigilante398 I would also be interested with that stuff to check out. If you wish to PM me as well, that would be great!

You guys are right. This is minor. I tested/measured all the components I'll be using, including the 100nF electrolytic caps I was planning on using and they all measure between 105nF-107nF ... that is pretty dam close. It's on the low and of the tolerance spectrum. Probably closer then the...

I'm building Stomp '75 muffin (followed by other muffin versions). I have about 50 of Nichicon electrolytic 100nF and there are 8 needed in the '75. I noticed that I could swap there with metal film caps which I use as often as possible. If I sort the Nichocon (20% tolerance) and pick the ones...

I use the Kotto fan. It has a fume filter. I don't know if it's a good model but it seems to be working (I hope so!) I also have a bathroom ceiling fan that I turn on.

- Reporting back - The chisel tip is a game changer for me. It flows much better. I had read about it a few times but stuck to the 1/32 tip that came with my iron station. There is no going back now! Also, I noticed that by using a filter fan to capture the solder fumes, my iron temp was...

I've been using the Engineer solder sucker as well for the past few month. There is no going back. The flexible tip and the amount of suction makes it one of the most useful tool in my box ...

Both of the ones I found were in Europe. I'm in Canada. I ordered some components last month from Banzai (also in Germany). It took 2 weeks before they shipped it but once in the postal system, I received it pretty quickly. Might be worth a try ...

https://www.musikding.de/NSL-7532_1 I have never purchased from them but they have come up a few times lately while looking for components. Can't vouch for them ... maybe other members can jump in with there experience.

Asome build!

Face plates and enclosure design is my next challenge. I hope to tackle this in the next coming weeks. Probably will begin with face plates for some of my existing pedals. I have already installed Affinity Designer but I have not gotten to exploring the mechanicals of it. Look forward in working...

I stood looking at the gut shot a couple of time. I'm very confident about R22 wiring. C2, I really feel like the caps on the 4PDT are connected to the right contact eyelet on the PCB so that would assume that the left eyelet is the input connecting to the center lof on the 4PDT. Would I be able...

I'll socket the transistors and play with them but it sounds like the BC54's would be good contenders ...

Great! I would have missed on knowing which pad was the in and which was the out. I will go ahead with the CW/GR toggle build. Thanks for jumping in!

I'll order Tester 44 (p/n 24-6337-0027) on my next order. What the average temp you set your iron at?
