@Mentaltossflycoon what did ya end up with for your transistors/diodes? That enclosure is gorgeous 🤩 The HP is hands down my favorite circuit I've built to date. Still need to breadboard/vero Jimi Pink's Juergulator. I actually run my HP dials pretty low, I really dig the low gain stuff from...

I've been just cutting them off with an old flush cutters. I'll try to push'n nut method this weekend

Can't wait for my Christmas vacation so I can spend it wailing through my Collactive Dritchod dirt pedal with my Chibson all into a Crate GX15. That goofy ass AI pedal did give me an interesting idea of exposing wires in my pedal "snake-style" in and out of the top surface of the pedal.......

@Ginsly I'm a little north of you and I've always went with UPS. They have always been the cheapest and I've yet to have an issue with them. DHL has to run transfers to local deliverers, so there can be hiccups.

It's cool getting a small peak into your shop and seeing your PCB storage. Still hoping the Infidrive and Backfeeder come back, although I thought I remember reading that @Robert was reworking the Backfeeder.

I need to check the pin voltages on the tubes. Is there a reference sheet with the voltages I can go by? Is the amp powered on or in standby when I check the voltages. Do I need to drain the caps before I do this? I'm using 12ax7 and 6L6GC

It's not the tubes themselves, I've rolled everything through every spot, AX7,AT7,AU7, etc. Does not fart out with a clean boost. Using the MXR Micro Amp after the PPCB Scenario. It's also not the pedals, I've tried every combination. It's 100% something with the amp. So sad......all I want to...

Sounds bad on both channels and inputs. The cleans on this amp sound absolutely incredible, it's why I'm trying to save it. Once I add distortion, everything goes to shit.

@Stickman393 yeah man, I really does. The EQ is not the problem, it's something with the amp. I have an EQ pedal and have put that in the loop and in front of the amp, makes no difference.

So, here's my problem. This is a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe amp. I've changed out the capacitors, put in a new speaker, replaced the tubes, biased new tubes to 69 ;), done all the Fromm mods, and I still can't figure out this problem. The distortion just sounds absolutely terrible. The audio example...

The datasheets definitely show those as Type 2 (1MD6)

Yeah the Apollo is definitely pretty sweet, especially if you live/die by plugins. I got a new MacBook 2yrs ago and decided to update my "studio" gear since I was using a 1st gen Focusrite Scarlett. I run everything through a Rupert Neve DI into a Tascam M12. I never use plugins ever. Bought...

A few years back they included a small image of the person and their name when they won. Always got a kick out of seeing some old lady winning heavy metal guitars. It's crazy now because also a few years back, there were 2,000-5,000 entries. Now it's 75,000+. I still enter every contest thinking...

Why did we literally all get the exact same thing last year? Didn't even look at it this year. Still entering every contest though, with zero chance of ever winning anything

@Ginsly I saved some screenshots from threads here for those. Visuals are always more helpful for me.

Hey bud, just a heads up on your EV Mini build. Make sure you're paying attention to the BOM closely and not mixing up all of the 4k7/47k resistors. I had 3 that were reversed and caused a ton of distortion and the "Chorus" switch to only pass clean signal. Once the resistor issue was remedied...

So, I went over every single resistor on my EV Mini board and for the first time in over 70+ builds, I screwed up 3 resistors. Found 3 where I put a 4k7 for a 47k and vice-versa. Distortion issues gone and sounds incredible. I'd wager that you may still have soldering issues and/or components...

I'd go over an reflow every solder joint on the entire board. Do you have a photo of the back? Just looking at the switch on the left side of the photo, makes me think that there could either be a solder bridge or joints that need to be reflowed. I'm having an entirely different problem, where...

Can we.........ahhh........prorate........the points? Cause I've bought 60-70 boards from here. Cause that would be greeeaaat (In Office Space boss voice). Edit: Just read the whole thread......yeah we don't want Robert to lose his house for points.

Totally have to agree, this drive is killer! The second I plugged it in and strummed a chord, I knew it was going to have a permanent spot on my board. Definitely love stacking it with my Scenario. Sick circuit for sure!
