It’s not all crazy, there’s good logic in removing the minimum value before tarrifs apply - but while it’s good for the economy in total it’s not so great for hobby pedal builders. I imagine what will end up happening is something like for me over in UK where it's simpler and not much more to...

aw man you managed! (GIF comment)

didn't the majority of you guys in the US vote for this? It will not let me post that GIF of Homer Simpson backing into a hedge, so you're just going to have to imagine it. Sorry

It's not that complex. If your parts from China previously cost you $100 shipped, you now will be charged $100 by your vendor. On import the US Gov will charge you a percentage the cost - so 34% tariffs mean your order goes up to $134 (plus normally an admin fee to whoever is collecting the...

makes sense - those 100R resistors are going to drop it slightly from +-15

So this is the input board XLR to transformer - mono Jack to IC201 to get to mic level … Then the relay is to switch between them - what’s the stuff on the right hand side for? Power to the relay? The +0v and -0v is something I’ve not seen before!

why's his beer smoking?

Sorry that post above was me musing …

Haufe make one of the transformer options for the Bo Hansen Di and silent arts sell them on for €40 plus shipping (plus VAT) - I imagine this will be similar costs … plus whatever tarriffs we are going to see in the next few days…

Ah yeah the sushibox man - of course you can have some… Wait, you run Unagi magnetics too? Wait a moment …

Random slightly OT post, but The earliest pre EB stingray preamps did use tantalum caps rather than electrolytic.

Components are on other side of board typically. But leaves a wee gap to stop anything shorting

I’m fairly sure it’s their take on the line input transformer on a neve

I am very very curious

They do but didn’t want to share it with me, the email conversation was typical of a German speaker who deals with B2B getting an email from a non German speaking end user …. A wee bit lost in translation

Anyone?!

I worked out KiCad ok, the libraries are annoying. My suggestion is budget for a few orders from your fave cheap pcb supplier and expect to make mistakes on the first few… Some of mine were… Holes too small to let me desolder and change parts if I made a mistake Realising why everyone uses...

I just bought some lead free. So far… It’s like going back to school and learning how to weld and the welder is on the wrong setting … there’s a learning curve. Hate it. But, not having to scrub everything down quite so much after using it. Love it

Musikding - and buy a few more bits at the same time?

Still got the cough, but no longer a zombie and able to work (from home) and walk the kids to school and nursery - so recovering. We’ve also had the first glimmers of spring weather so that’s been nice. Thanks for asking.
