You'll see this in almost any TI chip datasheet. I like and trust those because they're some of the most comprehensive datasheets of all the manufacturers. Some examples: OPA2134 https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/opa2134.pdf "Bypass the power supply pins with 10nF ceramic capacitors or larger to...

A lot of op amp datasheets seem to specifically call for MLCCs, usually 100nF, for decoupling the power pins. As to why, I don't know, but if the manufacturer recommends it I'll stick to it. Sorry for the non-answer-answer 😅

One of the best ways to actually see how changing different component values affects frequency response is simulating the circuits in LTSpice. Unfortunately, this will be a little bit of a time sink. Very rewarding though!

AliExpress does IOSS. The price you pay already includes VAT/customs fees, all of which is electronically transmitted so there's no hold-up in the destination country where they have to figure out what you owe. With Tayda if you choose FedEx it's very similar. Tayda tells FedEx what you owe...

If it's still in Frankfurt it most likely hasn't passed customs yet. It happens, especially around Christmas and other holidays.

Looks great! I built a dual channel Lead version based on the Aion FX boards, but that limits knob layout severely of course. This makes me want to learn creating my own PCBs 😵

A couple of demo videos: I'm playing a Fender Player Strat with stock single-coils in the first video. The second video was recorded with an ESP LTD EC-1000S with a Seymour Duncan SH-5 in the bridge and SH-1 in the neck. For both videos, the Rangemaster is plugged directly into a Marshall...

You can use it but turning the pot all the way counter clockwise will have less range than a pot closer to 50K. For the opposite case - all the way clockwise - it doesn't matter. 100K will technically work but may not sound right.

It can be nasty for sure, but it depends on the setup. I think it works best with loose and bassy amps, preferrably without bright cap or with the gain on the amp up high and the volume on the pedal low. That way the lower value caps are more usable and make for some nice and creamy classic rock...

Hah, just started cutting a video on a Rangefinder inspired vero build as well. Love this thing.

Killer build and sounds awesome. Now I want one too.

I'm talking about the actual stripboard, my wording wasn't clear. Let's say in my layout I have to run signal and power on parallel tracks for some length because that's just how it worked out. Would there be any benefit trying to separate the two tracks further by putting a ground track between...

When off-board wiring it's recommended to keep power away from signal lines and especially not run them in parallel in close proximity. With stripboard this may not always be possible. Is there any point in for example running a ground line between parallel power and signal lines in order to...

Now I get that tortured look from the dude in the demo video.

Beautiful design and clean build!

Thanks, my man!

This may make some traditionalists' hearts bleed, but this is honestly not a half bad metal boost. I already uploaded some samples with it into my Beta Lead build report. Here it is into a Peavey 6505, 7.5n input cap and gain around 1 o'clock on the RM. Starts with the raw amp and then I'm...

I've been playing this with my recent Rangemaster build the past couple of days. Two rather unlikely sources for modern metal tones but together it actually doesn't sound half bad. Kind of funny to think you'd have been able to sort of get that tone in 1979 when the Sunn Beta amps were released...

A couple of firsts for me with this build: -First time using a drill press. I love it. Should have gotten one sooner. -First time hand-finishing a bare aluminum enclosure. I wanted a brushed aluminum look, so I just went straight in wet sanding with 120 grit sandpaper, moving the enclosure back...

Just solder some solid core wire to the switch lugs and plug those into the breadboard.
