    Re: Mister Fuzz Voltage Inverter Bypass

    I just noticed the same thing. I guess if you use NPN transistors you can bypass the IC on the back, while still using the voltage regulator

    In the context of Fuzz Factory, how much leak is too much for the AC128? Values inside…

    In my very limited experience, high leakage in Q2 makes it bias at 7-8V instead of the usual 4.5V, which means it will have more treble while maintaining the fuzz tone - biasing a Fuzz Face that high makes it sound more like distortion. It's TB MK1.5 vs FF. In an MKII I want leakage so it...

    Tone Vendor Mk1

    It seems MP40s are the way to go for the MKI. What hFE and leakage did you use? IIRC Q1 needs hFE 60 and leakage >150, Q2 needs hFE >100 and no leakage necessary, Q3 hFE >100 and leakage >150

    There are many like it, but this one is mine. (Duo-Phase)

    Very cool! No ticking?

    That's exactly what it's there for. Sometimes FFs can oscillate BigMonk told me

    Foxx Tone Machines - Why No Bias or Starve?

    Starving an octave fuzz will probably sound similar to turning down the guitar's volume >>> ring modulator artifacts

    Should I let my pregnant wife help me populate PCBs?

    Yes. That's what I can't find here.

    Should I let my pregnant wife help me populate PCBs?

    On a serious note, I wish I could find soap for heavy metals in Poland. We're strictly 60/40 lead fiends here.

    Should I let my pregnant wife help me populate PCBs?

    Our family doctor had me hold his cigarette while he was visiting me as late as 1982

    Should I let my pregnant wife help me populate PCBs?

    I assume PCBs and components are clean when I get them. So she should be safe populating boards before you touch them with your leaded paws haha

    Should I let my pregnant wife help me populate PCBs?

    I wouldn't risk her being around tools that you've touched after handling solder, it might have an effect. It should be ok for her to drill enclosures and mount hardware though, in another room away from fumes. Source: my ass - I'm not a doctor :) Maybe she can help sort out your inventory...

    Which soldering iron do you like?

    Joe from Grey bench Electronics uses and recommends this. Intriguing that it automatically sets the temp

    SOLVED Duo-Phase Ticking (mainly when left side is engaged)

    There are tons of modulation pedals on the market and none of them tick. What magic are we missing?

    SOLVED Duo-Phase Ticking (mainly when left side is engaged)

    You should ground every shielded wire at this point because the shield left ungrounded is an antenna for noise.

    SOLVED Duo-Phase Ticking (mainly when left side is engaged)

    AFAIk you should only ground the shield at one end and that's at the jacks, where it actually goes to ground
