Alas i got distracted between catch with the kiddos, beer and ribs. By the end of it drawing some traces seemed like the last thing i wanted to do. Hopefully tomorrow

Ooooh i pretty much always use the slow boat anyways. I’ll have to put together an order later. Before all this though i could order 5 boards slowboat and it was like 4.50$ shipped, paid a .50 cent paypal fee for the transaction. My state has no sales tax.

Repaired a dunlop wah not too long ago guy took the digitech whammy 12vac adapter and plugged it in. Fried the smd 5087 in the power section was all.

Yea i did. My area winters are wet and mild mostly. Cant recall if i built it around one of our not so common dry/cold stretches.

Ya know i was thinking it worked prior to shipping. If it was wrapped in just regular plastic/bubble wrap. Vibrations etc could thr electro static discharge through the enclosure/jacks/pots somehow.

Awesome

Your guess is as goos as mine. I didnt even sell the pedal to the guy he just knew i built it and he messaged me on reverb, he hasnt responded yet to me asking him about voltage readings at pin 8 or the regulator. Wondering what couldve caused it to randomly do that if it is an arc. I...

Ill ask the guy if he can check. Pin 8 i imagine on that ic

Yes

Anyone seen thjs before, any idea of a cause? This is the randomizer chip from a low tide. Note crack around pin 8 coming from what almost looks like a burned spot. Wasnt from an iron i dont believe as this was working for me and the guy i sold it to. He resold it.

Yea.

As bean stated earlier makes me want to scream. How complicated does this need to be. And what is the end goal?

Ive never had an issue buying from ukraine sellers. Keep in mind there are several different types of them. Edit by types i meant the diodes. Ive gotten a fair range of fv’s. alexer1 Ive bought from without issue

I started out with a 15$ amazon kit iron, then bought a more expensive still amazon one, finally bought a hakko. i had some struggles between each one. And still feel like with the hakko i want to let it warm up from the last session clean the old tin off, re tin it, let it sit clean that...

While I am no fan of the tayda overhaul i think youre safe. Only spot ive screwed up on tayda is pots.

Hey thanks for the awesome pcb’s. I too would vent about the breakout boards for the 3pdt but eh. I did recentlt build a straylight and big fan, i ended up finding the wimas from digikey i think. I was releuctant to use the mlcc’s in the signal path, do you think theres any cause for...

random semi related rant. My mom babysits for us on saturdays, she stayed for dinner last night. We got on the subject of what things cost back in the 60’s (shes 76 born in 48). And she made a comment about working at the toy factory in 1965, and she made 1.15’or whatever. And i was...

well youve got 125% tariff for good so thats 250$ of it, the rest brokerage fees?

I think at this point its just wait and see what the deliveries charge for brokerage. Paying double for boards isnt too bad honestly compared to alternatives. Anyone gotten a quote from tayda yet?

Apologies if my comment came off as rude. Your input was good valid input as a different possible route. The pricing is just so dang crazy comparably it makes things challenging.
