    What's on the workbench?

    I've never seen this before, but damn that's smart. I'm assuming installing resistors/diodes vertically it's to make it easier to: a) probe b) remove Anything else?

    Acoustic Preamp Design - Preamp & EQ

    Last night I spent a couple hours measuring the frequency response of each knob/section. I am somewhat shocked, but it all works as I designed. The scope bode plots match what I designed in LT Spice. Next steps: 1) finish wiring up the footswitches 2) play it for many hours, in different...

    Acoustic Preamp Design - Preamp & EQ

    Off the cuff, the opamps could take +/-18v, but I can't find a DC-DC converter that provides that. Options seem to jump from 15 to 24v, and 24v would be over the op amp limit.

    Acoustic Preamp Design - Preamp & EQ

    Well, it's +/-15 volts, or 30 volts total across the op amps, which many EE's would say is WAY overkill. I've literally argued about this very issue on Allaboutcircuit.com. Me, an ME arguing with EE's, I'm definitely outgunned. Grace Designs is kinda the pinnacle for acoustic preamp design...

    Demo of the buffer in Q-Tune

    Here’s a bode plot measurement of the Q-tune buffer. Green trace from 75 hz to 10 kHz.

    Acoustic Preamp Design - Preamp & EQ

    An update, I finally bought a good AWG (arbitrary waveform generator). This AWG and scope combo allows me to create bode plots very easily - the scope tells the AWG what to do via USB (freq range sweep, amplitude, etc). This literally took me 10 minutes to setup and I'm a rookie at this stuff...

    Why do YOU build pedals?

    Great thread. After years and years of gear-tone chasing, I finally figured out that I "just like to build stuff". And if it can be useful to my music, so be it. If not, as long as it's fun and challenging, it's a win for me. I've got a whole shelf of pedals that I have built that I will never use.

    Comparison of Tuners and Q-tune

    Here's another comparison with Canvas included. Something odd happens with Canvas on some notes, it's a small error but considering that the other 4 tuners are rock solid together on a waveform generator, it is strange.

    Q-Tune Build

    I did some tuner comparisons a while back, comparing Q-tune, Peterson, Turbo Tuner and Polytune 3. https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/comparison-of-tuners-and-q-tune.26108/

    Q-Tune DIY Tuner kit

    @joulupukki and I have been talking about this, it seems possible via the SD card on the back of the screen. No promises (because he does the programming), but honestly he's a wizard with programming so we'll see... But I did check and it does fit in both enclosures. (1590b shown)

    New Enclosures, Kits READY to Ship!

    We ordered only a small batch of Tayda enclosures initially; we wanted to test the waters and get feedback from the first few customers. And great feedback was given, THANK YOU! For the 2nd batch we tweaked a few dimensions and added the input/output and polarity icons to the graphic. While...
