    Handpainted enclosure inspiration

    A recent build report mentioned going for handpainting after all boards were boxed. I've seen the occasional picture of such one-off boxes, and was reminded of this oldie that I had / sold, Freakshow Effects' Digilog Delay, which goes full arts and crafts with glitter, pen, paper, and glue! As...

    BF-2 / BF-2B (Fraudhacker builds) differences

    Sunday morning puzzle. The different resistor and cap values, marked. So you don't have too. The addition in the center of the BF-2B was explained on the Bean boards... "The R65/C41 is not special to the HF-2 overall, just an improvement to reduce noise. You might explore adding it in on...

    Red Witch Factotum, circuit origins?

    Suboctave bass drive. Any idea what familiar circuit lies at the core of this one? Nothing but typical components. Should have photographed Zeus' guts before selling (bass fuzz with octaver), as I liked that one more and would have build something similar. But this one's not bad either, and...

    Electrical shock survivors

    "Steve Marshburn Sr., who founded Lightning Strike and Electrical Shock Survivors International in 1989, told me that he was struck at age 25 on a seemingly clear November morning in 1969. He was working as a teller at First Citizens Bank in Swansboro, North Carolina, sitting at the...

    Hendrix Systems Lab — Rebuilding a Guitar Hero’s Signal Chain

    Via: https://spectrum.ieee.org/jimi-hendrix-systems-engineer I obtained the schematics for each of these elements and their accepted parameter ranges, and converted them into netlists that ngspice can process (ngpsice is an open source implementation of the Spice circuit analyzer). The Fuzz...

    EQ settings, a survey of sorts

    Got a new phone, so again needed to spend some time setting up the EQ to make things sound good. It seems that droop gets more intense as the years pass by. This made me curious, since were such a diverse group here, what shapes such graphic eqs take among us. As of the last few years I felt...

    Knives

    We're a boys club... So, show me your knives! Which are tools. Which have their place in a DIY community forum. Top two are for show; don't dare to use them; custom made in Russia. Still love to get the third one with a kukri blade, but the war has made this impossible for now. The bottom two...

    Behringer serving up Meatballs

    At 90,- (without tarriffs) it closes in nicely towards the price of putting together the Aion build. I suppose it's a good brand to clone.

    Gamechanger Recoder

    Anyone jumping in on this deal? Sounds interesting, though it's a gamble as to how useful it ends up being. No preview before the limited purchase window closes. Just some sort of manual that teases potential. Horrible practice. You basically record whatever via one input, and that data starts...

    That one concert (tour) you missed and would sacrifice something valuable for today to have been there.

    A year of your life? A finger? A newborn? Your choice. Been nostalgic the last few weeks due to having heard this popular dingus doing a song with Marilyn Manson. Started checking out his latest and was very, very impressed, and thus went backwards until I arrived at my teenage years...

    Subminiature Vacuum Tube History: Letting The Better Tech Win

    About the non-backbreaking guitar amps that could have been. Sorta... "One could imagine, had the transistor not been invented and we were instead trying to continually shrink vacuum tubes to fit into settings like this, that we might have landed in a similar place. This use case would have...

    True peak limiting PCBs?

    There's plenty of neat compressors, but I don't seem to find anything that clearly states to be a fast attacking / high ratio limiter; something I would feel comfortable putting behind some gear (Filterbank, T-Resonator, AeganMatrix, etc) that comes with warnings that they should be used with...

    Tuned feedback + multiple parallel delay lines in a pedal?

    The DSI Prophet 12, alongside its monophonic brother, the Pro 2, has a fun little thing that's sorta unique to it, it seems. I've been trying to find if there's pedals who can do this job as well? Queing things like "tuned feedback" doesn't result in anything, but maybe in the world of guitar...

    What's inside the Mr. Black Stereo Vintage Ensemble

    Anyone have / had these? Any analog stuff inside, or could I just as well go for a Neunaber Slate / Expanse or whatever. Comment: "CE-1 clone with a "double-tracking" mod"

    The capacitor plague of the 2000s

    Any of you around when this was a thing? "The "capacitor plague" of the early 2000s was real and fairly widespread among devices, even if the majority of those devices didn't go bad at the same time or even in the same year. The story of this widespread failure, passing between industry...

    Detachable wire-to-wire connector recommendations

    In two weeks I change my 32h work week for a 24h one, so much of the planning and thoughts I harrased you guys with over the last 9 months will go on the production belt and churned into working things! I got it in my head that I don't want to cut, bend and router the approx 40 custom enclosures...

    I didn't buy any newly released pedal in all of 2024.

    In 2024 I spend way more on PCBs and components than I ever spend on pedals in a year 🙈 so, commercial pedals had to be ignored. I'd likely had bought the EAE Prismatic Wall, if I wasn't waiting for a fine synth with input and resonator functionality (Erica's Steampipe almost did it for me, but...
