    Where can I buy soldering wire with real rosin inside?

    I don't think rosin fumes get you high, but I do think maybe having foul smelling rosin might be better, because it incentivizes you not to breath it in?

    Where can I buy soldering wire with real rosin inside?

    I don't know if it's the correct smell, but I'd definitely second Kester. I bought some from DigiKey a while back and it's been great. Not cheap, but it's not a huge expense in the long run, just a single upfront cost. I would avoid Aliexpress like the plague when it comes to solder purchases.

    Sonic Titan - so good!

    Yeah that sounds familiar, it's not that it's unplayable all of the time, but it's definitely worse.

    Battery Damage to EHX NEO Clone

    Are you sure it gets toggled? Because if it was always on bypass, that would also explain the symptoms - basically what Robert said, but in a different manner (probably broken 3PDT instead of the wires being mixed up). I guess since you probed it, that should have shown you if the chorus...

    opinions for a pedal build for dobro player

    One of my favourite Steve Vai quotes, "Stop this instant - that sounds like jazz!", from Quite a decent song otherwise too, I'm often not a huge fan of instrumentals but this one is fun. And since most things are more compelling with a story, it's the song for Romania from his live album/tour...

    I had a good laugh today

    I thought asking an AI for suggestions might be funny, but they tend to give out mile long lists that aren't very funny these days. There's something in "Patent Applied For" though, I'm sure you can work with what. Patent Not Applied For? Honorary mention to "Burstopher Walken".

    Sonic Titan - so good!

    From what I remember reading about LM386's a long time ago, I think the impression I got is that NOS JRC386 are good, and they were basically LM386N1's, but if you buy LM386N1's now, they act differently, and probably will have the bad sounding note decay. LM386N4's are supposed to work well...

    Two squirrels The piling on tends to escalate, and sometimes it feels like it goes too far... but this level of stupid shit is rare to see, so I'm fine with keeping it going.

    I had a good laugh today

    Jesus fucking christ the level of bullshit marketing is off the charts. Edit: I'm curious about the "in-house" op amps, if they're going to sell 500 pedals at 400€ per pedal, that's only 200k total. I would assume custom op amps would be quite price for such low production numbers? Maybe it...

    Available soon: Bodhizafa analog reverb

    The Mojotones don't seem to really be available in the EU, a british store has that one tank but it's sold out, and I think it would come out to around double what an Accutronics one would cost me, so I'll probably just go with the Accutronics. TAD or MOD are also possibly options, MOD seems too...

    New Pedal Releases

    No no no, this is much more advanced than the digital models - there's a high and low pass in each pedal! I'm sure those fancy digital profilers can not pull off such technological feats. They used a digital profiler and/or modeler as a workbench amp to design it, is what I guess it means. Why...

    But it also has in/out buffers for zero tone loss or loading, and a pro quality footswitch!

    Why does nobody use these outtie DC jacks?

    I think I've had some where the middle pin was the wrong size (I'm pretty sure it was always the same SKU, but if there's a different similar sized connector with a different middle pin it's possible I made a mistake), and then I had some where they were too loose instead of being tight. They...

    Why does nobody use these outtie DC jacks?

    It's a bit unclear what you're referring to, which cheap Tayda jack broke? The outie? I haven't had any issues with those personally, but I wouldn't use the cheapest small size innie DC jacks if I was selling the pedals.

    Interesting finds on YouTube

    I do want to point out that the other manufacturers data sheets also mention different slew rates, which something to keep in mind. I don't think it's that relevant for most of our uses though? The voltage thing might be, although I don't think the changes will affect pedals much in that regard...

    I put it in the Drill tool https://drill.taydakits.com/box-designs/new?public_key=K2JZVDg2QnVVSkt6a04xd1BpK1NDQT09Cg== Hopefully someone else can double check it, and probably check it against the drill template too once it's available, but looks fine just eyeballing it. If anyone else is...

    Why does nobody use these outtie DC jacks?

    I use them, the cheap Tayda ones seem very reliable (unlike their cheap small DC jacks), and no desoldering for taking the pedal out of the enclosure is a huge plus for me (the main reason I use them).

    What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

    I've had pretty good luck with the Vampire/Engineer SS-02 type solder sucker you can see in DWGI's picture (I actually have a cheap Aliexpress knock-off, but get one in that similar style - the blue plastic solder suckers suck, or, well, don't suck enough - you get what I'm trying to say). You...

    Pedal/Tone hunt

    No offense but I'm pretty sure the rate is constant? Maybe something else is controlled by picking strength, but the rate of the tremolo effect itself seems constant to me?
