Good work!

Aaaaaaand the winner is.... 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁 (Drum roll) @jimilee !!! I got my 3mm LEDs from Stompbox Parts today and I just swapped out the old ones with the new ones and it's all better. Yay! I will note that when I plugged in the power supply the top LED flashed on and off quickly, followed by...

PDF for me. I make all kinds of notes throughout the whole process, from gathering parts that I have vs. what needs to be brought, color coding the types of capacitors, measurements of transistors and diodes, etc.

Glad you got it working. I phrase it that way because there's a bit of discussions about the boards by that company on this board.

Haha. I just realized that 4 of the 5 pedals I am about to start on require the giant 470k resistors I now have. I guess they could float above the board a bit to fit.

I did do something like that once!

Me!

Yep, I just ordered 10 resistors from Thailand. No silly, there was 8 or 10 different values and other parts for 5 pedals in my "to build" stack of PCBs

That sounds interesting. I know nothing about doing that so it would be a new challenge. A Fuzz Face would be a good one to start with on PTP?

Either I or Tayda screwed up and I now have 10 1 watt 470k resistors instead of 1/4 watt. They are obviously much bigger. Assuming I might have a project that these will actually fit into, is there any problem with using them in place of a 1/4 watt resistor? I'll bet it was me that screwed up, btw

Thanks! I have several things in the building que right now but I'll get the Malacandra PCB from Aion at some point.

Hello, pretty late to this to say nice work (as always!), but I am looking into the Malacandra because I saw a video of Tom Bukovac saying the RC Booster was one of his favorites. Why, if you remember, did you prefer the 2N5088 over the 2SC1815 transistors?

I measured the other 10u electrolytic caps I had in my stash. I found one that had an ESR of .17 ohms and after a half hour .26. That was lower than the 2 I just bought, and it is also not from Tayda. So I pulled the original one and tired it. It still is having the same issue. Maybe it’s a...

Sorry, trying that: https://drill.taydakits.com/box-designs/new?public_key=S21mL3BVemgyYWRadjdmUU1GdFdpdz09Cg==

Awesome thanks! I might give that a tryout looks great.

Something like this? https://www.amazon.com/JIUWU-Combination-Composite-Drilling-Tapping/dp/B07MD85BX4 You are creating threads to screw the amp jewel into?

It sure does! How do you secure the amp jewel to the enclosure? They have threads that screw into the amp face right?

I am pretty sure that on mine unity is at the center detention. I will double check.

The T7 says that the ESR is 0.46 ohms and 0.43 ohms. Is that low? I also noticed that if I kept them in and re-test, the number goes up. After an about a minute they got up to 0.62 and .0.57. Is that normal?

I picked up a couple of 10u 25v caps today from a local shop. I’m lucky that there’s something like this close by for the times I screwed up in ordering parts. Thought it would be good to not use the caps I already have because I’m sure they are also from Tayda. I’m going to replace C8 and see...
