    What is a good “first pedal” for a bass player?

    Also, I'm a card carrying member of the Brassmaster Fanboi Club. It's a lot of fun. Preamp and/or compressor maybe. Where's @Feral Feline ?

    What is a good “first pedal” for a bass player?

    Compressor, fuzz, chorus/ slower flanger/phaser It's kinda genre dependant but I think compressor, as unsexy as it is, is pretty universal. Any idea of what genres they gravitate towards? Another unsexy rec, EQ. Maybe the drebbel?

    Issues with Bootleg

    Hard to tell but IC1 legs look off. Also, make sure you didn't mix up nF and uF with all those MLCCs

    Whatchu sittin on? (chair thread)

    I use my grandfather's drafting chair that he had at his workbench Not dissimilar to this one https://ebay.us/m/fDmVSJ Edit to add. It's likely from to 60a or 70s and built like a tank. The footring is nice as I can go from sitting to an elevated standing position on it to reach to to shelf of...

    low gain germanium 2N1304 - worth anything?

    Punch a bunch into consecutive rows of the breadboard Then move dupont jumpers to measure each one. That will give them enough time. It all depends on how you handle them and how long. Also, don't measure them in a cold basement/hot shed.

    Six band equalizer potentiometer style

    I share this hot take. As long as you straighten the legs of the IC enough, leaf sockets are quite easy to use. I'm more inclined to just solder ics at this point

    Terrible intermodulation in Keeley Compressor Plus - How to get rid of?

    This is likely a combination of low harmonics creating "undertones". It happens on most plucked or hammered stringed instruments, particularly with intervals. It's possible that it's being exaggerated by the compressor, bringing the low level signal higher, high level lower. It is from...

    Changing up tubes

    Few alternate 1, replace the gain pot with a linear pot 2. Replace R10 with a 500k and switch another 500k in parallel. A "MORE" switch. It may be worth upping the wattage rating to the next class of the non-swo5ched resistor. 3. Mess with the jfet input buffer?

    Power Filter Section

    Filtering at the opamp is generally considered a best practice. But, it's a pedal not a medical device/aviation equipment etc. Added filtering at the opamp would be good in circuits with say clock signals. The considerations made in a TS clone vs a BBD delay can/should be different. A sloppy...

    Most elegant way to sub potentiometer with internal trimpot

    https://www.alphapotentiometers.net/Trimmers/html/chip_trim_pot_4.html These have a 8.8mm span between leg 1 and 3. 16mm pots are 10mm I believe, so a slight bit of bending may be needed. Could possibly bend the legs and mount flush with the board These may also work...

    2sk209g solved

    Ignore the smd footprint on the PCB. It has no correlation when using an adapter. Just put the 3 legs in the 3 holes. Use right angle headers to tighter clearances.
