    Best way to use transformer with old Conqueror PCB?

    I have an older Conqueror PCB without the extra holes for the transformer middle pins and support claws. Should I just cut/bend the middle pins and claws? Just curious what other people did with this version. I assume primary is facing up and the 4 corner pins just go to their corresponding...

    Cepheid TL022 Alternative?

    Howdy partners! I made the mistake of forgetting to add a TL022 to my cart and now I have a nearly complete Cepheid sitting on my desk. Curious if there are other appropriate choices? I have a bunch of different options - just not the one I need! Guessing a TL072 could work but may be noisier...

    Old Dung Beetle PCB Cap Value Discrepancy?

    Hey! I got some pcbs from someone who wasn't going to finish them and a Dung Beetle was one of them. It seems like the layout changed a fair amount and one of the cap values is different. Since I don't have the old schematic I can't tell if it's the same cap that changed.. Kind of looks like it...

    Champ Stamp - Trimmer / Biasing

    I just built the Champ Stamp and while it functions and sounds pretty good I have a couple questions about the trimmer/ biasing the J201 Has anyone else built the Champ Stamp and happen to know what the trimmer should be set to? It seems to be biasing a transistor other than the J201. I don't...

    Caesar toggle - No shape change?

    Oh! I just meant I turned the blend all the way up to hear the shape better. I will try the caps and see how it goes! Thank you for the suggestion.

    Caesar toggle - No shape change?

    Aye! Thank you. I had a feeling the LEDs flashing in one position implied it was working and it was just very subtle. I can really only tell if its in vibrato mode and even then it's not a huge difference. Just a bit sharper or smoother. Pretty hard to tell in chorus mode. I appreciate your help.

    Caesar toggle - No shape change?

    Hey! I got to the testing phase of my Caesar and the toggle doesn't seem to change the shape. All the knobs function as they should as far as I can tell. I can see the red leds on the pcb flashing when I flip the toggle one way and the turn off in the other direction. I assume that part is...

    Help finding a particular capacitor - F334K brownie style

    Can anyone point me to a place that would have one of these super wide brownie caps (F334K v250MPP1)? I know it's 330nf 250v. I also know that I don't need an exact replacement - but it would be cool to find one. If anyone can let me know where to buy one - or maybe you have one or two in your...

    Anywhere have MMBFJ201 in stock?

    Out of stock.. Dang! I do see they have some pre soldered though. I wish I would've paid closer attention before I ordered! Doh.

    Anywhere have MMBFJ201 in stock?

    Probably beating a dead horse but I have a few projects coming up that require J201s. The place I was going to order from seems to be out of stock now. Anyone know where I can get some legit ones? Not sure if the ones on ebay are genuine.. I am open to suggestions! Thanks a bunch!

    Blender ( Fender Blender ) Tone Switch Question

    If anyone else has this one and could compare the tone control with the switch on/off I would really appreciate it!

    Blender ( Fender Blender ) Tone Switch Question

    Hey! Just built this one up and I'm not sure if it's working quite right. I just wanted to ask about how my tone switch/control is behaving. When the LED is OFF the tone control works as I expect most tone controls to work. When the LED is ON the volume jumps and it sound different but the tone...

    Clandestine Pre Biasing Question / Potential Issue

    Thanks for following up! I got the 2n5457 at Jameco (I think that's what it's called.) I do have a handful of others I can try to swap out to see if it's just a single dud or if they are all bogus. Is there a way to verify they are legit? I do have one of those LCR-T4 testers but I'm not sure...

    Clandestine Pre Biasing Question / Potential Issue

    Alright! Let's answer these. I am using the pad to bias but just to be sure I checked D as well. The high end on the trimmer gets me to 20.8v The trimmer does say 503 on the side. I just double checked the resistors mentioned and they have the correct color bands. If I have to swap out a...

    Clandestine Pre Biasing Question / Potential Issue

    Hello! I am fiddling with the Clandestine and was messing with the bias and I have a feeling it's not quite right. According to another thread it should be biased in the 12v ball part - the only issue is that if I turn the trim pot all the way down it can only make it to 17.2v. I also read a...
