    expensive clipping diodes? diode talk

    Tube freezing is quackery. Diode forward voltage is inversely related to temperature. That is, as temperature decreases, forward voltage increases. You may recall that the forward voltage largely determines how a diode clips. However, the diode will return to around the same temperature after...

    Small Bear - How big are their film caps?

    Thank you! I only need 1uF and values under 47nF. Small bear has box caps as well so maybe I'll try both. Much appreciated.

    Small Bear - How big are their film caps?

    Sadly I don't have experience with those Panasonic caps either. I guess they were pretty popular for DIY stuff and got pretty scarce when they stopped making them. Thanks for the response!

    Small Bear - How big are their film caps?

    Long story short I am missing some values I need, and since I am putting together a Small Bear order anyways I figured I'd try out their Topmay TMC05 caps. A little pricy compared to other caps, but it beats having to place another order somewhere else at this point when factoring in shipping...

    Ca-ca-ca-catch the wave! Max Headroom Meridian (Aion FX)

    Very nice build! I’ve had a Meridian PCB among several others for a while now (since Black Friday lol) and plan on making the guitar version. One thing I already can’t stand is how it needs smaller than usual 220nF and 1uF caps. Where did you get that thinner 2.5mm 220nF box cap?
