    I wish my wishlist was working

    I just put it in my cart and buy them, makes it pretty simple.

    Beginner confused with BOM

    Lots of great advice, especially the build reports. One thing to add, buy spares. Nothing worse than breaking or cooking a component and having nothing to replace it. Or worse, losing one. I dropped a diode on the floor, spent 20-30 minutes searching for it, couldn’t find it. Asked the wife...

    PedalPCB Median Compressor

    @jorisroos At first look, the dc jack seems suspect, looks like all three are connected.

    Reverb Preferences

    I’m into sounds that have a bit of modulation and movement or stuff that’s just straight-up super cheesy. When I record, I’ll usually throw a little natural reverb on cleaner tones to make them feel more real. I mean, no one’s listening to an amp with their ear right up to the speaker (at least...

    Types of Big Muff

    I agree - the Kewpie can do SO much. It gets massive to the point you wouldn't need a bass player but then cleans up into a cool overdrive/distortion and everywhere in between.

    Mouser and Digikey search game changer?

    I like sorting everything, it is the peeling back the bubble wrap on everything that takes the time. I like Tayda, they build a bubble wrap fort and sticks it all in there.

    Mouser and Digikey search game changer?

    I am lazy, I find the Mouser part I want then find the part of the Mouser number that corresponds to the entire product line like 603-MFR-25FBF52 for Yageo bulk resistors. That said, lately with end of life and some crazy price hikes plus tariffs, been searching a little more, mix and...

    Getting my learning on

    True. That said, 10-11 hours of flight time, I can only watch so much Netflix.

    Getting my learning on

    This is the Breadpad app, cleaver idea and something to help me get better. Like I said, I suck with taking schematics and breadboarding them.

    Getting my learning on

    Diving into this, there is an app called BreadPad. The quick time I have used it, seemed easy and straight forward to use but looks like it is not being supported. It is missing things like transistors. I am TERRIBLE at breadboarding so it would have been great to have something that to...

    What's on the workbench?

    Is it a sandwich or sammich?

    Nein

    Looks good, I am digging the color pot covers from Tayda as well.

    Getting my learning on

    I’ll check it out! Too bad there isn’t an audiobook version I could listen to.

    Getting my learning on

    Great idea although looking into it, doest seem there is an iPad version and Mrs G threatened to "punch me in the throat" if I brought a laptop because I would end up working at some point. Another great idea! Also, probably better than bringing a full breadboard on a 10 hour international...

    Getting my learning on

    Headed out on vacation in a couple of weeks and pulling together some reading material. I’ve already got the Wampler books, Guitar Electronics for Musicians, Electronic Projects for Musicians, Stompbox Cookbook and Small Signal Audio Design. Anything essential I’m missing? Prefer digital...

    What's on the workbench?

    You don't do paint resistors? Amateur. Say I don't have any 4.7k I just grab my handy paint brush, slap on the right colors and BAM, that is what it will resist.

    What's on the workbench?

    See when I started, I thought that was a bad thing melting the cap but apparently I was doing it right all along!

    Should I expect to pay Tariffs on Tayda Orders?

    Sounds logical comparatively.

    VHS: no effects

    Did you turn the tv to Channel 3? Kidding - you are in good hands with swelchy!

    Should I expect to pay Tariffs on Tayda Orders?

    That’s actually not that bad. Placed a $200 order Monday, $6.50 shipping. Clicked reorder to the impact, $65 shipping tariffs and tariff related fees,
