    Survey for Master Thesis – Fuzz Pedal Comparison

    Just added a little bit of Dunning Krueger noise to your thing there. Pretty sure I got every question wrong.

    Boutique Pedal Manufacturers Are Feeling the Tariff Pinch

    Its a thing. I've said in the past that I've got a personal connection to Mr. Keeley - in that he grew up with my cousin. On my mom's side. I love my cousin. He's a great dude, has led an interesting life. He's a meteorologist in Oklahoma, which means that he's got a particular interest...

    Alternate title: Stickman is tired of doing math. Make computer do math. Alternate, alternate title: this is apparently how I relax after an hour and a half to two hours commute home. Anywho. Put this together. Feel free to copy it. I just wanted to plug in the values that I read off my...

    Neither. Grandma Turducken. You know. The character in star wars that was played by Peter Cushing.

    Vacuum-dehydrating hygroscopic components...

    I've been seeing the Moff Fuzz in the drawing board. Reminds me that I need to make my Grandma Turducken Fuzz a reality. Could be! Though I gotta say: I've got some Tungsram AC125s that are heavily oxidized, and they're just about as leaky as the Tungsram OC1075s that I've got that look near...

    Vacuum-dehydrating hygroscopic components...

    Bitches. Well then I guess I just need to make a fuzz face with indirect evaporative cooling.

    Vacuum-dehydrating hygroscopic components...

    This experiment was a dud, unfortunately. No differences observed. Maybe adding a heating pad underneath might help. Though that's assuming that the presence of water is the cause of the leakage: which is just a poorly supported hypothesis at this point. Heatsinks...its possible. Plenty of...

    This is the hill I will die on, sir.

    I presume it's the chauffeur for one who deals in stolen property.

    3AX31C Germanium gain

    I mean, I knew they weren't actual AC128s! Color me curious. And color me unwilling to take other people's word for it. Also, color me out a few bucks with a bunch of useless germs. Nbd. I kinda am hoarding all the germs right now.

    Tube Driver? Got a big ol cutout that looks perfect for a vacuum tube.

    3AX31C Germanium gain

    Tc-1 is a good investment. But it's not good for testing germaniums. They don't quite get the leakage values right past 100uA, and are absolutely worthless at measuring anything that takes a while to stabilize. Which is to say: certain Russian transistors it does quite well with. The ones...

    3AX31C Germanium gain

    Addendum: I also picked up some of the so-called "AC128s" from China. These are interesting. Not so much in their usability: that seems unlikely. Best I've found out of the bunch this far has been a leakage of 570uA. But, they're *really* shiny. Like, gleaming. Almost makes me wonder if...

    3AX31C Germanium gain

    That's the one. The Russian "b". That is. My batch is mostly 20uA or under and mostly 70-85 hfe. I only have one box, but it seems like, as with many Russian transistors, they tend to be very well matched within a box. Which is the only bummer about certain Soviet transistors. You don't...

    Question About Selling

    Damn Monk-ie. Talking social media analytics and stuffs. Here's the deal: everybody's on social media. Everybody's hawking their tuahs for a moment in the spotlight and some of that sweet, sweet cheddar. Listen: selling pedals is like guerrilla warfare. You gotta toss a few boxes through...

    Question About Selling

    Aw shucks. I wasn't implying any rudeness. I was just having a little navel-gazy fun. Though: hear me out. Make your product like...ah...super fancy. I dunno. Get a little crazy with the packaging. Then...hear me out...charge like, 1K. Make your stuff all about exclusivity and waiting...

    Question About Selling

    Speaking as a man who really only likes engaging in the idea of building a pedal brand, and doesn't really sell anything to anybody. Really. My opinion here was not asked for, so I'll just kinda hang out here. Don't mind me.
