Yeah, just bend the legs square to the body and pop ‘em in. I’ve never had any problems 🤷‍♀️ I have however, when trying to pull a stubborn IC out of a socket, had the IC suddenly pop out, somehow flip around, and embed itself in my thumb to the point of drawing blood. 🩸 This has happened on...

You can’t go wrong with some well-placed Eurostile.

I have two big Akro Mils cabinets mounted on the wall inside a closet. If I need more than one thing, or if I need to sort through something, I just pull the drawer out and bring it to my work table. Also, for labeling the drawers, I put a piece of clear packing tape on the front then write on...

Or should it be like this? Because you’re trying to slew limit (slowly ramp) the voltage that is now going to the Pot Path when you open the Momentary Path… 🤔

Should one side of the capacitor go to ground? Like so: It looks like the Dwell pot/Momentary switch are controlling a 3.3V CV (Control Voltage) going to Pin 20: Analog In. So the resistor/cap combo would act as a passive LPF, aka Slew Limiter, for that CV…...

I cut the legs off PCB-mount pots all the time, but I leave more of the leg on there so I can just use the existing hole like a lug. Given what you have, I’d probably loop the wires through the remaining hole (the ones on the PCB-like stuff), give them a twist, and solder to the flat piece of...

Patching something other than the TB into that side of the Paralyzer would be an easy way to eliminate the Paralyzer audio path as a potential problem. If you haven’t tried that already.

Couple questions: • You’re trying to build all three of these into one enclosure, with a shared power supply? • So, Tonebender and MG connected to the same power jack/supply, and both work? • But when you add the Paralyzer to the same supply, the Tonebender loses power? Is that right?

It would be expensive to use on everything, but if you have the occasional stubborn and/or many-pinned IC to de-solder, Chip-Quik (or generic equivalent) can be very handy.

An easy way to build up some stock of stuff that’ll probably be useful is to start with one of those BOMs then up the quantities of all the resistors, capacitors, transistors, and diodes to wherever the first price break is (usually either 10 or 25 at Mouser). Also, Mouser doesn’t have very...

Indeed. I saw your Musikding link, but completely missed the Small Bear one directly above it 😬

Looks like Synthcube stocks some Electric Druid stuff in the US: https://synthcube.com/electric-druid-synth-and-pedal-ics/ The stated reason for the Portuguese PO not shipping to the US is the abrupt end of the De Minimus exemption for packages valued under $800. This is a separate issue from...

This is a really good video series on filter basics: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHeL0JWdJLvT1PAqW4TtvxtRoXyk741WM&si=1lhuU9JPY9ijehcc It’s from a synthesizer perspective, but it mostly all still applies to pedals. He goes from passive filters all the way through to active resonant...

Radio Shack + Radio Shack employee who actually knows something about electronics = 🤯 They were always just trying to sell me an extended warranty for my rechargeable batteries, or towards the end there, a shitty cell phone plan.

I built the Graviton board (Aion’s HM-2) it calls for BAT-46’s and has the following note in the BOM: “The HM-2 uses Ge diodes here, but Schottky is a better modern replacement. They only set the gate threshold and do not affect tone.”

It rocks that they’re marketing markers specifically for painting faces on rocks! 🤘;) I’ve had good luck with the DecoColor brand of paint markers. Paint holds up well on metal, and the marker tips don’t dry up after a few weeks/months like others I’ve tried.

“Friend in Jebus Fuzz”? ;)

Overcast, Schmovercast. I’m calling this one the Whirling Dingus!

Huh, I tried using it for that very thing years ago when I did a few homebrew PCBs (a Fuzz Factory and a Slow Gear, which nobody sold boards for at that time). I found that the press had too much play in it and I kept snapping those tiny bits. 😖 Ended up getting a pin vise and doing it all by...
