Like in the sense of providing greater than unity gain? If so, not really since an emitter follower has a gain of ever-so-slightly-less-than-one, but if you like the sound of the buffer you could follow it with a separate gain stage

A - people trying to grow and improve themselves usually don’t, and certainly shouldn’t, enter new spaces with offputting arrogance and imagined grievances. That’s a shortcut to getting (rightly) called out, fucking period. B - people trying to grow and improve themselves are genuinely rare...

I mean with that many buffers, you might need like a *really* good power supply to power it all 🤔 Also don't forget to add the ADHD's buffer to your list! I think it has a *shockingly* high parts count for a buffer. https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/pcb543/

Huh, gonna have to go back and look, didn't see such a comment and usually the sentiment round these parts is the opposite. Particularly in those "how can I make money building pedals" threads, which are full of "you can't" replies. Nah, I don't see any value in having "decent interaction"s...

*chefs kiss*

Eh, that layout looks fine just like that, just make it like a 100 layer board, wire all the switches and pots off board, and put it in a 1590DD. Boom, done, this PCB design thing is easy I don't see the big deal

@giovanni had the right answer back on page 1, everything else was just, uhhh, IAIGF?

Someone brings up potential snake oil in pedal designs, and all the hits start playing!

Did literally anybody on this forum *ever* say this? Like, not even just in this thread, but *ever*? We all know what raw parts costs are, we all can do enough math to know what we'd need to charge to make a living, and that's why most of us don't. --- But 29Pedals is NOT selling a $50 for...

Again, nobody would be shitting on 29Pedals's shit if it was a $150 boost in a 125B with a MAX1044 charge pump, because (especially here in a DIY pedal community where we all have a pretty fucking good idea both of what pedals cost and what we'd need to charge to turn a profit) we know that's...

Again, it doesn't matter how much the snake oil salesman believes his salves cure diseases, he's still selling snake oil. I'm sure most people in MLMs believe in what they're doing; people should still stay the fuck away from them at all costs. Sufficiently advanced incompetence is...

When “things went down” the guy straight up admitted that the case and power supply were what made his product “cool” versus what was already on the market. Sometimes a cigar is a cigar. (The charitable view is that dude sunk time and resources into designing a power supply (well, retrofitting...

I’m kinda surprised it’s that relatively cheap, considering the bigger channels usually compose and produce a decent chunk of original music and shoot and edit a decent chunk of original video for your SponCon (and Andy Martin’ll even rewrite your ad copy). Like when I was doing freelance...

Not quite sure what to say about the oscillation since I've not experienced it myself before with this circuit, but as for decreasing the low-end, a common mod is to replace R7 (the resistor connected to the 2u2 cap) with a potentiometer to turn it into a bass control, or if you don't have room...

Petition to do a livestream of just feeding a FLWR higher and higher voltages and seeing where it pops

This. Re: that 29Pedals dude in particular, since apparently some people think it was the circuit design and not the designer douchebaggery that was being shat upon - Were 29Pedals's claim to fame a $100-$150 buffer with a MAX1044 charge pump in a 125B, there'd be nothing really to shit talk...

That's more current than most taps on my isolated power supply can provide (and who out there is gonna waste one of their high-current taps on a buffer???). So, it's not so much a "whatever" power supply after all then, is it.

It wasn't "allegedly", JHS straight up used the Hyperion circuit for one of his pedals (I think it was the BunRunner?). The smoking gun was he copied an "error" from the schematic - two back-to-back 100nF DC blocking caps where one would have sufficed, but because it was two separate Devi...

On the LPB-1 (and lots of pedals) the volume pot is a voltage divider so if you wanted to lock it to a specific setting, you’d need two resistors, one for each side of the wiper. Like, if you wanted to replace a 100K pot and have it set to 50%, it’d be a 50K resistor from the cap to output, then...

No, not without removing the charge pump
