Nice! You do that all with the little hot plate? You also use a hot air gun on top? Gotta link to paste?

I stick to 0805 on my layouts and 0204 for MELF resistors. 0603 is getting into my PIA zone.

When you say 'trim the fat,' do you mean you want to save space or you want one foot switch to control the distortion and EQ together?

I'm pretty happy with my SMD system I've cooked up. Amazon has a lot of tool and gadgets for 'beading' and it's pretty perfect for SMD parts. Removing each one from the strip is the longest part, so I got little beading cups with screw-on lids. I pull the whole strip of parts into the cup at...

I'm down. Not too thrilled about having to use MLCC caps for everything, though. Another option I think would be cool would be a hybrid design, having JLCpcb pick and place most everything but the film caps, Ge didoes and other TBD parts people like to swap out or hand solder.

I was just thinking about the Raincoat yesterday - mainly that it could be a good home for Ge transistors.

I was already excited about this before. Awesome!

That's fine. If I were to do it over again, I would use a very different circuit, though. Adding a clean blend needs to be considered on a pedal-by-pedal basis because a lot of circuits flip the phase.

Got my BBDs today in the GPCB sale. I'm ready.

I'm surprised I've never seen anyone do a dedicated isolated pedalboard output module.

Man, I looked and didn't see that.

Same here! Just ordered myself a compact reverb. Free shipping and with the discount, it's less than buying a used one on Reverb.

10 votes on the wish list guys. We can do better. Remember, the voting is done on the top right area of the post, not the normal "LIKE" for a forum post.

The Wish List request is now live and you men all need to do your solemn duty and go vote the hell out of it.

Nope. First starting out they sold a PCB for DIY reverb. Still using mine as an always-on effect. Tempted to just buy their new reverb mini.

Was looking around on Freestomp forum and found some links to threads at Musikding (in German) where people are breaking down the Surfy Industries Vibrato and Tremolo pedals and they're pretty interesting designs. (Links go through Google Translate) The Vibrato tries to emulate Magnatone but...

Pic is gone. Whaddid I miss?

1182s I got were all very leaky. At this point, finding enough non-leaky Ge diodes will take a lot of time and money, ordering tons of different diodes and testing them all. The solution is a BAT54s diode with a series 68R resistor. I've A/B tested this and it works and sounds identical to...

Did my own layout for the Pink/Purple fuzz and it originally called it 'Brown Bear' until I happened upon a video about all-black chickens from Indonesia called Ayam Cemani. Highly prized, they're called the 'Lamborghini of chickens.' I think the double entendre is hilarious. My wife is...
