One vendor I can find that has them in stock, and more expensive than I was expecting. Sounds like that's the part I need.

Dumb question, maybe, but how are you applying these graphics?

So I am looking at my Viceroy board and I am seeing that the spots for the PF5102 JFETs are tied to identical pads to place SMD components. But so far my internet searching suggests there's no SMD version of the PF5102. Is this true? And if so, what should be going there? I really want to try...

FWIW, I built my Violet #4 RH clone on vero board and it sounds very Gilmour-esque. I used either 2058s or 2059s, I can't remember. But here's a gut shot.

Pretty sure it's this: https://www.taydaelectronics.com/40-pin-2-54-mm-single-row-pin-header-strip.html Just snap off the right number of pins and you're set.

So here's an update. This btw is for another Parentheses Fuzz board that still isn't working yet. I found like 4 remaining PF5102s from earlier, and I put them in the TC1. I also put in a J201 for kicks. Results are below. I'm open for getting more testing equipment or making some sort of test...

It was a Chinese eBay seller so yeah, it's fake. I just ordered some from Smallbear to remedy the situation.

I just attempted to test one of a number of PF5102s that I ordered. Is there any way this makes sense? Because I thought it was supposed to be a JFET.

Can anyone point me towards an idiot's guide to differences between capacitor types? All I ever look at is price and tolerance.

Why is this shudder-inducing? I don't know what the benefits of an electrolytic are beyond the fact that they're super cheap.

OK, so I measured some that I got from Amazon and I wasn't getting a stable reading. I figured that I was doing something stupid but apparently it could also be the LDRs. Gives me a new thing to try again this weekend.

This looks fantastic. I may move this one up to the front of the line once I can afford to get more enclosures.

Curious, did you test the transistors beforehand? what were the hfe values?

I'm the wrong person to ask because if there was anything custom I needed, I just did it in Affinity. And it probably didn't even register that it needed doing.

Yep! Although I already learned my lesson that the printing and the drilling won't necessarily line up, so I'm drilling everything myself. Definitely wouldn't be possible if I didn't spring for that drill press.

Sweet. Matte army green, burnt orange, ball silver.

@benny_profane with the slam dunk!

Nope, nothing that I've noticed. But most of my time since then has been spent building rather than playing. @Feral Feline thats a great anecdote! I will probably leave it as is and see if I can sell it cheap. I want to try the etching process again, because maybe fate didn't want me to etch a...

Oh shoot, I nearly forgot to talk about the easter egg. To fit with the theme, I sanded the aluminum in an "X" pattern. So, in the portrait area, the background is made of a million little double-crosses.

This is a dirt simple circuit and Acapulco Golds aren't in short supply so this was mainly an opportunity to practice different fabrication methods apart from the board soldering. For the graphic design, I took some inspiration from the earlier Acapulco Gold that had the gunslinger graphic. I...
