For a while maybe... ;)

Nope, assuming they're new pots the sticky feel is considered a premium feature and some of us pay extra for it when ordering custom pots. It's damping compound on the shaft, not the resistive track. Removing it by chemical flushing often tends to leave residue on the track and ruin the pot. The...

John Fluke is or was a real deWd, at least. Even people at the company went with "if it works it's a Fluke", according to my former GF who worked there for a time.

You can hack the ends off your IECs and put on a Powercon, just sayin. I threatened to buy a Greenlee IEC punch for eons, but somehow it never made the top of my shopping list!

I just use a Powercon for retrofits, so much easier and arguably a much better connector to boot. My nibble tool-fu is strong when it needs to be though!

When I tried something similar for some graphics files Tayda's software wouldn't accept it, for whatever it's worth.

Yep, those are the power rails.

Standby allows you to do the power-up with a much smaller/lower current switch, which also allows front mounting without the hassles of running line power around wires and components that may not respond in a great way. I've done several 700AS1 bass amp builds and one with the 500ASP module...

The original FX-888 had a very simple knob for temp control, leading inevitably to "it ain't broke, let's fix it anyway."

My LTspice-Fu is strong. ;) I started a zillion years ago messing with tube EQ circuits and then Craig Anderton's circuits from Electronic Projects For Musicians. So by now I can recognize many of the usual suspect EQ formats and have a decent idea of what to change, and sometimes by about how...

Still don't have anything to show but several mostly redundant builds of my own designs. Maybe next week...yeah, that's the ticket! :cool: Oldest to newest, more or less:

LT used to be very generous with free samples. ;) Since I mostly just do one-offs for myself, $10-15 a pop for opamps doesn’t really even phase me as long as I get the results I need. I’m aready burning money and even more so time, why pretend to be rational?

If you just have to use through hole parts, I've had excellent results in my bass preamps with LT1113 and LT1169. But the price has more than doubled in the last few years, and I've never tried them with a low-ish voltage single sided power supply. But as you say, best to move along to SMDs, and...

Rod Elliot's very well known site: https://www.sound-au.com/ And John Broskie's, which it may take a while to work up to: https://tubecad.com/

The layer is there, but there's nothing in it.

Spencer from Amplifyfun is on here and does awesome ones in many different formats. And not just for pedals, he can do rack mount plates and the like as well.

It'd be trivially easy to repurpose this one I've been messing with recently: Right now it has a TRS input for my banjo/dobro hybrid, magnetic pickup goes to a HPF/EQ/LPF box then returns to mixer, buffered piezo input from resonator goes straight to mixer. Everything is modular, so super...

I've been using LTspice for many years and rarely find a need to breadboard anything - I just go straight to PCBs. But I typically only build clean-ish widgets for bass or acoustic instruments, and have a lot of well vetted building blocks, so tailoring circuit interactivity and EQ curves is...

Only his first couple of versions were primarily URB centric. The latest one is definitely more useful for bass guitar too, and the next one that’s on the way even more so from what he’s told me. But you’re correct IMO, which is why so many contemporary manufacturers like Mesa, Genzler...

That phase shift is actually your friend once you suss how to balance the tradeoffs, it's what makes pretty much all EQ even work. But you're on a good track with incorporating pre-existing rolloffs into overall system response, IMO and IME. A lot of people find it beneficial to put a small...
