Yeah. My printer has a “HQ 1200DPI” setting that I use.

Nope…😔

Thanks! I have a stash of PNPs I was just finding uses for. I have NPNs as well but was intrigued by being able to wire the PNPs for a normal (isolated) power jack. Mostly just wanting to learn and understand what is going on…

I assumed so but it’s quiet until I turn down the volume so I wasn’t sure if it had to do with the wiring to negative ground. It’s just a normal FF

hi everyone. i breadboarded a PNP FF to positive power and have a question: when the guitar volume is rolled all the way off, there is quite a lot of static/hiss that comes through but isn't otherwise present when the volume is up. i was wondering if this is something related to the powering...

i tried the GW-1 Pro on a powder coated enclosure from LMS. applied glue directly to the decal rather than the surface of the enclosure, baked at 225F for 10 minutes, cooled completely and transfer was perfect. i have since done three additional bare aluminum enclosures with perfect transfers...

after building the pro-10 (protein) earlier today, I finally started on my collection of cornish stuff. i prepped enclosures with the film free toner transfers and started with the Nugget (NG-2). the description i read was that it was the sound of a Muff into a Tone Bender which are pretty much...

I have looked at this empty PCB for a while now and decided to give it a go this weekend. Second only to the Shallow Water build, the populating of this one was laborious but pretty straightforward. As you will no doubt notice, the drill template that i used for the Paragon was great for the...

I wondered that too… as I dutifully soldered the two 5Ms together

100%!! HA HA!!

I have been using the Kester K100d which was (from what I read) supposed to be as close to lead solder and the lead-free stuff gets and melts as a lower temp. I’ve seen suggestions to use more flux with it too. But the increased effort required makes me not want to use it…

So I tried lead-free Kester for about the last week. I’m running the iron from 685F-700F and I hate the lead free stuff. Just doesn’t run/flow as well as the leaded stuff. I know there are folks on here who use it. Is there something that I’m missing? Any hints for making this better? I use the...

write with a dry-erase marker over the sharpie and the sharpie will come off. One of my favorite tricks.

Put together a test box today for building Fuzz Faces/Mk1.5 Tone Benders. Put the on/off toggle on a charge pump daughter board and then a switch for +9v/-9v depending on transistors.

So spent today building the P-2 board that arrived yesterday. Have always been curious about the Cornish pedals so I figured it was worth a go. As you can see, things went sideways in a couple of areas… First, I’ve been using the 3pdt board with LED on it lately and really like it. I don’t...

I love the text on this!!

I have bigger ones but used precisely the ones I meant to use…

working on a stripboard op-amp Big Muff this weekend

my understanding was that that case was a trademark case and this one is a copyright case. fender lost the trademark so they're going after the "art" argument with the copyright battle. my only point was that they're going after smaller folks who can't fight and then PRS who absolutely can...

i think it's the Strat only because that shape was the only relevant shape from the case in Germany. i can't wait to see PRS duke this out with Fender. i would imagine that they won't roll over or cower the way a small builder without resources for legal fees might, especially given the amount...
