    Top Five '24

    I only built 7 in 2024, so picking a top 5 would be most of them. I'll just name the one that I think is notably awesome: the Chop Shop.

    capacitor deep dive

    I'm interested in hearing what people say, but it's not likely to change my approach (which is to use the cheapest option that fits on the pcb).

    Refinishing a poly guitar in nitrocellulose

    I think removing the finish would be a pain and not worth the effort. Also, I'm skeptical it would improve the tone or feel.

    All Time Most Bestest Favoritest Chorus You Have Owned , Played or Heard?

    This is the one I have, and it is good for me. I like the tone and level controls because I can filter out some of the highs for a deeper sounding chorus and make it pretty subtle. I haven't built a chorus yet, but I have a Sea Horse PCB waiting to be built.

    SOLVED Cattle Driver Volume pot operating issue

    I was going to say translation software. An AI wouldn't have attached a hand drawn diagram or photos of their ppcb build. Could it be a malfunctioning volume pot?
