Reverse wiring a A25k?

I had the same problem with a switch, the hot solder ran down and caused a short. I solder every switch tab just on two points where the tab is near to the board.

Definitly i will order some JRC 4558 next time - just for s&g, but i ran out of TL072s. Interested also in the TL082.

First and foremost: use sockets. The hassle to solder them opamps in and out is not worth to save the costs of a socket.

… and white nylon washer eeeeh

Glad you got it sorted out!

These charge pump are a source of squeal sometimes. Sometimes they are fakes, sometimes they are defective and sometimes weird interacting with other parts like buffers or other charge pumps happen.

I follow a certain procedure to mount the pots, i read here somewhere. I mount the pots very loosely into the box and fit the pcb over the legs. After checking everything i fix the pots with the nut and solder them. This procedure can even out some inaccurate drillings or slight differences.

I recently started to measure all my caps. Those small ones have a rather wide spread.

I like to team the GEs up in series with 1N400x. It takes the threshold higher and preserves the characteristics of the GEs.

The TC Bucket Brigade Delay is so cheap, I did not think about building my own analog Delay.

Thank you for sharing this. I‘d love to use some of my low hfe Germs for such a project. Keep up the good work!

I love the Soft Focus. Its a patch on the Yamaha Fx500. Recently Catalinbread made a own pedal out of this. Unfortunately no clone pcb up to now, but youcan upvote on the Wish list.

I appreciate your pride to make a decent product. This is what we call in German "Handwerkerehre" - pride/honour of a craftsman. But you had me at the word "forae" as a Latin scholar. It's not female but neutrum, so the plural of forum is fora.

I bought sets of resistors, film caps, mlcc, elco caps, colored LEDs and shrink tubes. Other parts I get from banzai and musikding, since I am located in Germany.

Anyone on the Julianna? Could have it cheap from a local musician.

I rely on Björn Juhl, close the back lid and hope noone will open it again. Secret trick: No battery operation allowed. Does anyone else seal the back with black goop or something...😝

My way to deal with such funny values is to measure my stash. In this case take the lowest reading of 39k resistors and call it a day....

Nice Mongrel! Play it in good health. P.S. Never saw so much pickguard screws. You got them for a good price, right?
