    What's in the mailbox? 📬 📦

    I got one a month or so ago, so when I put in another order (because I ordered the wrong knobs), I told them "That's just, like, your opinion, man" and got a smiley face in response.

    Ah, the finest of packing peanuts. What a connoisseur.

    AlephNull Weeble

    It Weebles! It Wobbles! I’m sure I’ll knock it over. 5/5 board and project from AlephNull. Simple board layout, easy to follow instructions. Now, I made it harder by stuffing it in a 1590B. Everything is offboard wired, so not as easy - use a 125B if you want all the pots and switches mounted...

    PPCB Electrovibe Mini

    Going to go 5/5 on this, even though I had issues with parts - mainly caps a smidge too tall and then the 1uF SMD were fragile. I don’t have knobs yet, but wanted to post this for people building this to have a reference for internals. Robert has a great knack for having everything lined up...

    You know you’re going to put a bit crusher in there. Search your feelings: you know this to be true.

    AionFX ODR-C Andromeda Deluxe

    What if you took a Tube Screamer, made it less nasal, and then added some filters to change the frequency of the mids, then added some LED clipping that you can adjust to taste with the soft clippers? Well, you’d have an Andromeda Deluxe. aionFX pcb, chickenwingaudio powder coated enclosure...

    PedalPCB Fuzz Aldrin

    This thing is so much fun. A hot rodded fuzz face from Skreddy with transistors I tried out. Lower gain transistors — roughly in the 120-250hfe that sounded good to me. No gut pictures because there’s a couple nicked caps from the soldering iron. It is quite a bit brighter than most fuzzes...

    Champ Amp 2 Prong Replacement And Others

    1. 2 prong to 3 prong and remove death cap — yes, very much yes. 2. Bias resistor? Maybe. You’d have to check what your voltages are inside the amp (SAFELY OF COURSE) to determine if you need to adjust bias. BUT, the 6v6 is pretty robust. Mids resistor? Maybe, but that’s the charm of Fender...

    What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

    Replaced a few caps and a dodgy pot (wasn’t, but did anyway). Still nothing. Finally found the culprit: bad 1K pot. One half read fine: other half was kaput. Frustrating. Hopefully I can get a build report soon.

    What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

    Yesterday was good/bad/good/bad in terms of finishing projects. Good: finished AlephNull’s newer weeble board. Just a nice and simple little vibrato circuit that sounds great. I need to get it into an enclosure and then I could attempt to record some sounds, but I am terrible at guitar. Bad...

    Forum Vibe transistor question?

    Probably nothing that will be notable. The A/B/C at the end signifies the “gain bucket” of the lot. Looks like lower gain but can withstand higher voltage.

    Do it. Do it Do it. (No pressure here, just wanted to be the little nagging voice in your head telling you to just do it)

    Forum Vibe transistor question?

    Changing q14 to an mpsa will up the amount of current drive, enough to give signal enough oomph to get the bulb moving. It’s one of those piece of mind things to keep your vibe vibin’

    TurboTrem is the last Lovetone board I need to finish the set. Maybe things will *comment deleted by tarrifs*

    Looking good. Always good to have a wee bit of wood grain even when painting.

    What's in the mailbox? 📬 📦

    Finally got my shipment from SmallBear (USPS is sofa king slow). A new Pt2395 to fix a dead DanEcho and a bunch of random transistors to plug into a Marigold Fuzz, Lunar Module, and CBD Screwdriver-thingy. Waiting on Digikey to get the last bits to finish almost all the projects I have (to rock)...

    Ope, sorry you forgot your operating system. (Also…oof)

    What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

    The marks are always character to me. /sobs after tossing a nice flamey/wavy Cedar top for a G&H Little Sister build because I realized it couldn't be salvaged where the little arcs for decor holes looked like crap

    What's your current headache?

    The problem was it's been 5 days and NOW you tell me you were hoping it shows up quickly? When I've told you I am home with a sick kid? No, go pound sand. That's on you. Edit: I don't know if I want to sell anything if it's going to be like this. Almost every other transaction has been smooth...
