    Need a circuit: Amplitude modulated squarewave

    I have a dumb idea for a dumb circuit but need some help. Anyone have a circuit snippet that can generate a binary/squarewave 5v who's pulse frequency and perhaps pulse width is modulated based on an AC input(guitar) signal. I.E., when you play loud, the frequency modulates faster and decreases...

    Pyrite Ge Fuzz -- or, An Ode to Solder -- or JWin freakin finished something

    Fu..in @Ginsly made me build something. And finish it. But first, this build is sponsored by ChipQwik. Anyway, The build: Easy layout via @PedalBuilder. I used 3 house/MIL/possibly random numbered Moto Germs that measured 42/52/72 in Q1/2/3. No measurable leakage Evee en when heated. Nichicon...

    PSA: DCA75 battery

    RTFM This dummy assumed the DCA75 had a lithium battery. Nope. If you're gettery battery low errors, it will skew the measurements, a lot. Manual says swap the battery once a year. Within the case is a single ~1.6V warrior. If you notice the screen dimming or odd behavior, don't wait for the...

    EHX Effects Interface

    https://www.ehx.com/products/effects-interface/ Looks cool. A little pricey at $359 but considering it's a standalone 2 channel ADDA, stereo reamp and stereo DI, I guess not bad if you don't have those covered. The pedal board to preprogamed DAW amp switching is a cool idea.

Was thinking of asking...

    Post your eBay/Reverb/marketplace/Craigslist finds for others

    I spend entirely too much time on eBay and come across some good listings from time to time. Occasionally, I won't actually purchase them 🤣 So, I thought maybe I'll start sharing some of them.

    SOLVED Help!!! I can't figure this out!

    Last Tuesday I built a Tayda cart full of metal DC jacks and 1000V caps. Then, it entirely disappeared only later to come back the same, but different. Now, the tarrifs keep turning off and on again at random. I checked my values. I think they're good but who really knows anymore. Already made...

    Sub forum for artwork sharing?

    All hypothetical, would you participate in the sharing and use of design files and/or Gerbers for prints and faceplates? Good idea? Dumb fever dream? Does this already exist? I know some share art already but it seems having it centralized would be beneficial to the community. Also, having a...
