I paid NZ$4.90 ea for a lot of 10 LT1054CP in July, already they are NZ$5.48 for 10. This must be tariffs right? One of the reasons I have switched to LCSC recently.

I guess I don't mind spending the extra on parts where it really counts. I'm certainly not out here buying WIMA film caps or Nichi Gold electrolytics or anything like that. But if you're having problems with noise and wine, which really affects the experience of using the pedal, why not just...

No one mentioned the LT1054? Seems to solve all these problems. Automatically switches at 25khz. Drop in replacement for the 1044 which is good for designs that already use that.

You want one button to both AB your guitar input and trigger a program change in the AxeFX? The problem is, you want one button / switch to perform 2 electrically / mechanically different things. Your AxeFX will expect a momentary signal, but your AB needs a physical circuit change. If that is...

Personally I always use VST reverbs. Though the reverbs in the Helix products are very good. But I've never really found a stomp box style verb that I really enjoy.

How do you find that deal?

This is good intel.

This tester is trash, however I'm thinking of getting one just for that pad lol.

Also a non-transformer related solution https://groupdiy.com/attachments/phantom-power-48v-blocker-pdf.96022/

As to the phantom power section, a transformer isolated out will help protect the output of your circuit from getting 48v.

I'm in New Zealand so also can't comment on the Tariff situation, but can say, they have literally everything you need, and it's well packed. The only thing is occasionally they can take a while to actually ship, but once it ships it's pretty quick. The upside is, if you think you've forgotten...

Once thing I've done is add SPECIFIC components to my DipTrace library, I have an added LCSC part number so if I ever want something to be assembled I already have a BOM with the proper part numbers ready to go. It also shortcuts my component sourcing as I know I can search for the specific...

This could serve as some inspiration for your input stage. https://www.diyrecordingequipment.com/products/cp5-mic-preamp-with-colour https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0698/2265/files/CP5_1.1_Schematic.pdf What exactly you should do depends on what your signal chain will be. Are you expecting...

I'm willing to bet a BAT46 in series with a 1N4148 will have almost exactly the same curve as the 2D304B / KD203A.

Always taking one for the team.

So the electro caps didn't bump you over to standard?

Yeah, the extended parts costs adds up real quick, I was hoping for myself to get the resistors and caps assembled and then finish off the rest myself, but with C0G not being included as a basic that kind of ruins the idea for my single board ambitions.

I'd love to do a metal can Rat build, if only for the cool factor. My ears definitely won't notice lol.

In Diptrace, I've created custom components, they have the JLC catalogue number as an additional field so at the end I can generate a BOM. I essentially went through all the basics, or preferred extended if necessary, for resistors and caps and created a component for all of them. KiCAD has a...

Nice. Given I just build for myself I usually only need one copy of a board. So with the lack of C0G caps available I think SMD might actually not be worth it and TH will end up cheaper. You can also make boards fit multiple purposes, but then they probably won't share many components so the...
