    Amazon Solder Station recommendation

    As pointed out, I would be very careful with that email especially if you didn’t enter a sweepstakes, lots of Amazon scams out there. Don’t put your account information into any links from the email, if it’s legit they would just link you a code or include it in the email. Forgive me if you...

    Your Toolbox

    Ah yes, it’s my dad’s go to. I’m working on getting all my boxes converted to Molson trays and Newman’s coffee boxes, but as of of late my demand has exceeded supply…

    Your Toolbox

    The lighting could be better, I’m getting another ballast light to go over the soldering area. The space is fantastic! I’ve seen travel videos about Chinese electronics markets and they do a lot with much less space than me, so I have no excuses. The stool… it has a twin and I believe we had...

    Your Toolbox

    Made a lot of progress in my work area today: The new bench is in the back with the soldering setup on it. The bench on the left is what was already there, and I’ll be using it mostly for guitar work, random projects like the odd PC build, and for messier stuff like cleaning flux off...

    Angry Andy

    Looks good! As you noted, some of the wires could be a little shorter, but honestly it’s not bad at all. There’s production pedals out there with enough spaghetti for dinner and leftovers!

    Muffin Fuzz - Martian

    No first hand experience with this particular one, but I thought of some stuff from looking at the build doc: The input stage should actually have a bit more gain than usual, since the emitter is put directly to ground, omitting the usual resistor there. I would take another look at that part...

    Common Source N-Channel JFET 'Fat' Control

    Maybe just a tone control of some type before or after the stage?

    What overdrive should I build for Heavy music

    I would consider the isosceles or integral preamp, both based on the TC Integrated Preamp, with the former being the Fortin Grind/33. It sounds like you just need to push your amp harder, not necessarily add more clipping before the amp. These pedals have a lot of clean gain on tap and...

    Solder question

    @spi +1 for MG Chemicals stuff. I use their solder and flux pens and have been really happy with them. Right now I’ve got their rosin core 63/37, fantastic stuff and e u t e c t i c :cool:

    My eBay GE transistor experience

    Are you in the US? If so did you have any issues with customs or extra charges? I’ve wanted to grab a box of these for years but haven’t had the guts.

    You guys set up your own guitars?

    I do, but I’m not very good at it… The great thing is it’s free practice every time I need a string change!

    Sad times (update for the information database)

    I’m very sorry for your loss. I know there’s not much anyone can say that really helps in these situations, but definitely take all the time you need and more.

    Polymer caps. Discuss.

    These things? I always thought they were a different style of electrolytic. They are sexy indeed. Funnily enough, the amazon listing for these had "organic" in the title. :ROFLMAO:

    Where does the "voice" of an overdrive come from... ?

    Yes if you have them on hand, definitely test them out. Experimenting and finding what you like the best is what it’s all about.

    Where does the "voice" of an overdrive come from... ?

    With few exceptions, opamp choice matters less for tone shaping than most people would like to believe. https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/chips-in-the-old-block.7230/#post-63630 This thread has some pretty good info on the subject. In short, the circuit built around the active device (opamp...

    I'm on a roll - this time a PedalPCB HAARP

    Looks amazing! Is that Tayda's UV printing?

    HM-2 JFET Question...

    It’s just a source follower buffer so I assume it doesn’t matter much. Idss does have implications with output impedance, but I wouldn’t worry about it here. (Inviting more knowledgeable folk to chime in)

    Information Database Discussion

    Also, you might want to edit your first comment on the ID to ask people not to post discussions in it so it doesn’t get out of hand. I like to use bold for this kind of thing or maybe fancy colors

    Information Database Discussion

    I think it’s good to compile stuff in that thread as you see fit for now and see where it goes. It could get locked and pinned so it can be visible. It could also serve as reference for the wiki depending on what PPCB wants to do with that. Personally, I think community participation in the...
