Classic 7 drawer! Can’t beat it. I even made an attempt at re-felting that one.

That lettering came out great!

Oh yeah, tons of respect for the folks drilling rows of holes and fileing them into slots by hand, but I’m doing it the easy(ish) way with an old manual mill. For this little batch of c2ce stuff I set table stops to cut the longest slot, then spaced off the stops with a series of gauge blocks...

Guess I don’t have to do some more reading after all. That was faster than asking chatGPT! Thanks Nathan.

I’ve joined the cult! I don’t play much bass, but it sounds nice as a DI with my baritone. Keepin it DIY with some tricky drilling and Posca pens as usual. The lighting in my shop made the color look all screwy, but it’s regular Tayda cream with a matte clear coat. So far I’ve been running it...

I use this stuff, but it's mostly isopropyl, so I'm skeptical it's worth the extra cost vs just straight IPA. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XDCRLR6?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_5&th=1 I do prefer a condiment bottle over a spray bottle...

I saw a couple reviews that noted remarkably nice fretwork for a guitar this cheap. Fret ends are super smooth and polish seems nice, although being a used guitar I can’t say for sure whether it’s been worked on. I’ll do some setup work at some point (probably when it gets new strings), and...

I’ve spent a lot of my life working with VBA, and that’s one of the cooler things I’ve seen done with it. I try to avoid new hobby rabbit holes like learning FV1 programming so I don’t quite fit your cross section, but I would like a copy of that workbook. I’ll send you a DM.

I appreciate the similarities between that couch and that guitar. That’s a man who knows what he likes.

I did! Three days after I posted this, a used one of the Jet jj350s I was lusting after was posted on reverb for $329 and I snatched it up. I’ve been playing it a ton and I haven’t done a thing to it. Really happy with it.

Two factors that could still be different would be the components connected to each of those ground pads, and how much heat they suck up, and also the varying temperature of the board as it heats up and cools off. If you solder one stubborn pad that takes a lot of time and heat, then move a...

I have had some pcbs that seemed to take more heat to get them to flow. I do a mental count of the preheat time before I add solder, then flip the board after the first few joints to check the flow through. If I'm not getting as much as I like I add some preheat time. Ground pads seem to take...

That's an incredible list. I need to add a couple of those to my wishlist.

Nope

Hey @Robert - can you confirm which of these is the real R6? You’ve taught me to trust build docs over product images, and PCBs over build docs, but based on the build doc image it still looks to me like @greypilgrim76 has these two swapped.

Don’t get me wrong, I love drill presses. I’ll read as many drill press threads as y’all want to post. 🤣 We can do best benchtop, best desktop, best pocket sized… My submission for best unreasonably large: My 60’s Swedish gearhead drill with power down feed. Boss tr2 for scale

We just did this: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/benchtop-drill-press-experiences.28391/

Build report / gut shots please.

Depending what I’m trying to troubleshoot, I’ve often just played music from my phone. Works fine for finding where the signal dies and a lot less annoying to listen to than a beeeeeeeeeeeep from a tone generator. If it’s something where you really need to hear what the pedal is doing to a...

Looking at this pic, I can clearly see the red band on R11, so you're probably good on those. I'm confused about R10 though. If I'm understanding the angles of these pics right, those should be the same resistor from different angles, but they definitely don't look the same. Did you swap that...
