    Any bassist recommendations?

    Welcome to the forum! I'd start here: https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/pro-filter/ And then probably the Frequency Interchange and Equilux. But that's just me, as EQ is by far the most useful thing for my personal bass playing situations. Note that the original Anderton version of the Pro...

    EOL parts thread

    Yeah, and that's mission critical for my onboard preamps. My preferred 5mm high Rubycons have gone EOL recently, but at least 7mm tall 5mm and 6.3mm dia. ones are still in the pipeline for the moment.

    EOL parts thread

    We adapt one way or another, of course. I'm 70 years old and ported to partly/mostly SMD builds about 6 years ago. By now I greatly prefer building that way and just wish really good SMD film caps rated at 25v or better that can be reliably hand soldered would hurry up and arrive.

    What do you all usually buy from Digikey?

    Their PCB fabrication service (DKred) is my favorite in some ways, really nice quality stuff if you don't need slotted holes. But that's a separate entity and won't help with the free shipping minimum on your main order. They have a nice selection of modular connectors and pre-terminated wires...

    NAMM 2024

    He definitely would expect something in like kind, and always likes to to support up and coming small businesses whenever possible. I have a few other ideas for basses for you as well, I'll PM with details as things progress. But Marco has a really good following at NAMM and people often have to...

    NAMM 2024

    I'll check in with some of his booth slaves and endorsers too, usually those guys bring in some of their personal ones too. The last time I went he had basses in four or five other booths and we had some very cool stuff from a few of those booths in Marco World, so it was a win all the way...

    NAMM 2024

    I can probably still hook you up with a bass or two if needed, I'll remind Marco the next time I get over to his shop. A lot of the people I would normally be trying to sell stuff to aren't going this year, but I think that could be great for guys like you and Marco actually.

    NAMM 2024

    Have a great show! My trip is on hold for now, just too many other expenses and priorities in play at the moment. But I went on like three days notice one time, so anything is possible.

    The heck is going on inside Jam Pedals Eureka?

    If you de-gooped him I'll bet he'd look more familiar.

    Understanding Potentiometers

    In the voltage divider scenario a value change can still affect bass or treble rolloff, or broadband level, depending on source and load impedances. If you're ever experimented with 250K vs 500K pots in a guitar you may have experienced that, for instance. And then there's pot taper. Not...

    Missing Build Docs / Schematics

    Yep. In my first order from you I went for two designs, one with documentation and one without. The one without looked really simple and I was able to trace and model it in a couple of hours, tops. I wouldn't even think about doing that with an FV-1 based board or the like though. My expectation...

    Tube screamer types w/ Four or more knobs

    Any progress or further thoughts on this? I'm getting ready to box up my Crystal Lattice Silver build, which I'm pretty likely to be giving away to a guy who mainly wants it for the graphics I worked up.

    Understanding Potentiometers

    It's entirely circuit dependent. Used in the feedback loop of a simple opamp gain stage it might redefine max/min gain available, with higher value = higher gain, used in series on the input it might work completely backwards to that.

    KiCAD Workflow Question (from Diptrace user)

    I prefer to take the pain during the initial schematic drawing. Going back later and updating footprints is really annoying to me. So if I have a few 3.5mm x 7.2mm box caps I typically copy and paste off the first one entered on the schematic rather than re-selecting from my library. I'm really...

    How can I fix a sticky potemtiometer?

    I'll take one or two apart and see, I have plenty of duff ones. ;) But if it's mung on the track, I'd expect that to manifest with noise as well. In any case, nothing against Tayda, I think they fulfill a very useful purpose and the shipping thing would seem to be out of their control.

    How can I fix a sticky potemtiometer?

    I was referring to ruining the resistive track. I just avoid Tayda as much as possible, frankly. Especially since the shipping rate hikes.

    How can I fix a sticky potemtiometer?

    Replacement is the best fix, hands down. I like low torque pots for a lot of situations a lot myself BTW. But as I said, a stiffer feel is often considered premium and is what many people prefer. The SBP pots feel really good to me compared to many other cheapies, FWIW.

    Yeah, they are a little better now IMO.
