Germanium sucks. Overpriced. Inferior. But tone is inside.

So, when I first tried out the EQD Hoof pedal, which the internet absolutely swears by, I was actually pretty underwhelmed by it. I was much more enamored with the EHX Op Amp Big Muff, which I ended up buying (my first pedal in at least 12 years.) Between then and now (honestly, a span of maybe...

Huh. How big are these orders? I ordered 5 enclosures sprinkled with a load WIMA crackpacitors once and it was still maybe $12 from DHL, and UPS was about the same. I rarely use USPS, but that's because no one wants to see me when I don't have my solderin' time in the evening.

Most of my wire is solid 22 AWG. I strip off the insulation between the board and the 3PDT breakout board to make it look cool. For longer connections, I use 24 or 22 AWG prebonded stranded from Smallbear. Which I think is what @cooder is talking about.

Not to jinx you or anything, but when I submitted my files for the "Siren" build (p. 25) all the colored bands actually overlapped each other. I spent a few hours manually correcting it in Affinity Designer only to have the result print just fine with the "bad" file I had already submitted. In...

This is great. I've been breadboarding here and there, but I always like to see how other people do it - you never know when you'll learn some cool tips and tricks to try out!

Is there an "electrical" servo? Because google is apparently not my friend today.

Wait, a motorized fuzz? I'm confused.

Actually the opposite. Whenever I don't use soap, my impedance increases.

I'm just commenting because I want to see any further developments on this thread. You know, if it ends up blowing up like the Tayda thread.

No idea. I've never owned a wah pedal so I don't know how they're assembled.

I've heard from multiple places that those don't have tapped holes. So buyer beware. (I don't have any taps and I've never done it before.)

I usually do a gloss on only the graphics I've introduced. For the Siren above, the entire artboard was covered in graphics, so I just threw down a solid rectangle in the gloss layer.

Safety warnings? This guy Californias. /s

"Solder's for Suckers"

Affinity Designer is now my jam. Siren = Caesar Soviet Horse Muscle = Ungula with MP38A's. The Siren has a matte finish, and I must say, I rather like it.

I only ever ordered one Tayda print job on a pre-drilled enclosure. I had tick marks all around the knobs, so the fact that they were just a little bit off was very noticeable to me. Since then, I've just been leaving markings for the center punch at every location. I'm really liking the...

LMS is where I go for pretty knobs. Stompboxparts is where I go for more standard knobs such as any Davies clones - 1510, 1611, or 1900. There's a lot of overlap and I like supporting both.

Chuck, can I do college over again and have you as my thesis advisor?
