Continued applause from me on principle for your 1590A work. Maddening stuff. For what it's worth, 9mm pots also help save precious mm of space...albeit their leg spacing means they always have to be wired offboard.

Seconded! Inquiring minds wanna know :)

Love the graphics, and I think you might be the first builder I've seen since joining the forums to pull off a three-resistor tenting! I also agree with @Erik S -- the crinkle is fitting with the natural wear of the source material of the tape packaging.

Lmao. OK, marking this thread solved! Thank you, @jwin615 .

Pardon my inexperience, but how would I test that? I bought the relay and board well over a year ago, so I guess I just assumed the compatibility. If I have to start over I'm happy to order some fresh Kemet relays + IRB boards + EEPROMs from Robert but I'm hoping I can maybe salvage one of the...

I can reflow them some more, but the LED is working as it should (both momentary and latching) so I'd assume that means the input of the footswitch is being detected properly? I've also trimmed down the extraneous wire at the In, +, - and Out solder points too.

Bump! I swapped in a fresh EEPROM, reflowed the solder on both ends of the Switch and Ground connections of the daughter and main board, but the issue persists.

Having just done my monthly Costco run yesterday, I especially appreciate the graphics choice/execution here.

The used Guptech S.U.N. gate (identical but affordable Zuul clone) I got on Reverb + an absolute embarrassment of @szukalski Sheepylove feat. @Chuck D. Bones PCBs from @MichaelW 🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭 Thank you so very much, Michael! Time to start laying out my next order of enclosures so I can start building...

Yes. I do this and love the increased headroom/volume. A rule of thumb I operate by for 18v is to ensure the caps are rated for at least twice that, so there's a lot of 50v and up in my builds regardless.

Beautiful work! I love the Mk3/Mk4 design approach and sound, this is a hell of an impressive effort.

My god, lol! Funnily enough, some snobs consider the entire Matrix series and the (IMO pretty dope) Digital Echoplex to not count as real Oberheim on account of being created at the time the company wasn't owned by Tom (I think it was Gibson?). All I know is, I love mine, and I will never in my...

Built cables for and assembled this noise board after I spent the last two nights disassembling a massive, portable but unwieldy rolling synth rack rig I built in 2023 and barely used. It's a crime I let my Oberheim Matrix 1000 and the above Soma Cosmos go unplayed for a couple years. Keeping...

Remembered I had a spare board, ATTINY85 and relay for the Intelligent Relay Bypass and decided I wanted to have another whack at wiring it for the bypass switch of my Leprechaun. It responds latching-wise as expected, and with the LED in unison...but the pedal remains on no matter what. What...

Successfully wired up the Pelota 2 from @MichaelW yesterday and I share his praise-- warm af, but always intelligible and plenty capable of weird modulation too. I also really dig how with Feedback cranked, it oscillates without escalating fully into noise territory. I have other PT2399 joints...

Bill Frisell in a few weeks, Dazzling Killmen twice in May!

Slammers that just say "YATS" when?

A Pelota 2 delay and accompanying LM358 IC from the kind and rightfully universally-beloved @MichaelW! Thank you so much my dude, gonna dive in to this tomorrow 😁 💜🙏🏻

Yep, love these in a big way. Made my cousin a Circulator with one and myself a Boneyard Delegate--but now a Median--with another. Gotta wait for warmer weather to redo the graphics for the latter, but I love how these things pop in low light.

Vibraphone - Bark Psychosis' Hex really crystallized to me just how pleasant and emotional the timbres of the instrument are, and I've since really enjoyed works by Cal Tjader and Gary Burton. As @Aleph Null expressed about marimba, vibraphones are gigantic and quite expensive. Piano - Because a...
