Just curious if those were smd or thru hole?

I haven't either but I was under the impression that the higher the value the more microphonic and by the time we get to higher values that may be more microphonic we use film, so that's typically why it's a non-issue

Would it be fair to say that.... Ideally film would be preferred in 99% of the use cases we care about in the pedal building world but realistically can't affordably be made for higher and lower capacities, so therefore we use mlcc for lower and electrolytic for higher value?

Yes, but the reason it keeps getting asked is because there doesn't seem to be any straight answers. It's always, "i use this and it's works fine" or "try it and see". There is nothing wrong with experimentation but, I think the question that is being asked is more like.... what are the...

I've always read that the super low ESR is why they are used for power to ground filtering, especially on opamps.

I've never seen whatever you are talking about. Do you have an example?

They regularly have multiple skus of the same item. It baffled me for a long time.and then I just accepted that life is like that. 😁

I use a combination of leads and bridging. Bridging is usually only to the next pad over. It gets really blobby if you try to do more than one

Breadboard a simple buffer and alligator clip to an open jack, maybe?

I bend mine all the time. They don't break very easily. Here is one I bent just to lower the knob a bit to look better in a 1590b

It's an early-ish one from about 83 that is extremely broken in. And just because I think it sounds good doesn't mean it actually does, but it definitely makes me want to keep playing. I'm just playing around the house so what do I know 😁 I think the hi cut switch on the TM is really what makes...

I've finally gotten the chance to play around with this one a bit. The cut and boost switches in the up position with the gain cranked is where it shines for me. I'm going straight into a JC120

Man Bun dude says some don't turn all the way off so, problem solved, I guess.

Yep, if that's how it works, then thats fine. I just didn't know if it's normal for this pedal. A friend of mine has the newer mxr and he says his is dead quiet. But, I have a Maestro Invader Distortion pedal with a noise gate built in and it doesn't turn all the way off either.

Here is a video of what I'm talking about

I can hear the signal playing multiple guitars clean into a clean amp. I can really hear it with a big muff into the gate. It's not super loud but it's definitely not all the way off.

Yes, I do get a bit of crackle and fizz as the gate is closing

It's not noise. Full ccw it's gated but I can still hear some signal coming thru. Same thing on the rest of the rotation, once it gates, the signal is reduced, but not completely.

I built a muffler and I thought the gate was supposed to turn all the down, but I can still hear the signal a bit after the gate.

Trump will just bill china for the tarrifs like he did mexico for for the wall
