    Current Tayda fees after new tariff?

    If you need to order three capacitors you forgot you needed, it might be cheaper at this point to order from a domestic supplier where you'll usually pay more for parts but less in shipping. If you need to order all of the parts for multiple pedal builds at once like I generally try to do with...

    The anti-GAS thread

    Stay off the credit cards, stay off the internet content that tells you that you need a specific thing. But if your kids have a genuine interest in doing a creative thing and hanging out with you, I say strike while that iron is hot because it might not be for long. Probably just the algorithm...

    First build questions

    Looks like you should have used pin 1 for ground on those audio jacks.

    Electrical shock survivors

    Neighbors with horses where I grew up had an electric fence. Lots of entertainment. Part of the excitement of the dare was the fence was switched off a lot of the time so you never knew if you were gonna get bit.

    Electrical shock survivors

    I think the horror video was from some sort of electrical generation facility running unfathomably high levels. Nothing in the plant I was working at was more than around 460v and anything I actually had to work on was well under that. Still enough to possibly kill me, but my corpse would have...

    Electrical shock survivors

    I worked in a factory for a few years where I was one of the techs who got to don the arc resistant cleanroom suit for electrical work. As part of our electrical safety training we had to watch a video that included CCTV footage of a worker dying in a high voltage accident. The screen went...

    Pedalpcb pastel

    Looks awesome. I kinda like how the wrinkle looks like the bent corner of an old record or book jacket.

    What's for dinner?

    I suspect it was snuffy the talking fire engine who interrupted my Saturday morning cartoons.

    No idea what that is, but three thru jacks is awfully considerate of them.

    What is in the signal path?

    One downside of using three different kinds of resistors is there's no way I'm checking those values for you if you post a troubleshooting thread. :ROFLMAO: I don't buy that you could tell the difference with carbon resistors, but I do think they look cool, and I'm all for making your gut...

    SMD JFET soldering Demystified

    Great video! Thanks for posting it. I've been doing it almost the same way, except I was trying to balance the jfet on top of the first blob, then pushing it down as the solder melted. The way you pushed into the melting solder from the side looks much nicer. I'll try that on the next one I do.

    What's for dinner?

    Stop Drop and Roll. Are there still PSAs with important life advice like that? I lit my young self up pretty good one time playing with gasoline and got to try it. Worked great.

    Haible / Random*Source

    Maybe you'll get to watch us all crash and burn and never finish any of these, and you can be glad you stayed on the sidelines :ROFLMAO: I got swept up in the FOMO when the big VFE group buy was happening, but by the time the dust settled, I was glad I had stayed out.

    Basic question about mixers and the Iridium

    When I'm too lazy to set up something more complicated, I end up with double headphones on. Play-along tune in earbuds, guitar in over-ear headphones over the earbuds. I'm not proud of it, but it works. :ROFLMAO: Mixers are awesome to have around though. These look pretty cool if you're...

    Haible / Random*Source

    I have some dead/ worthless rack mount gear that I’m imagining I could gut and use for enclosures. I haven’t even started getting a plan together for parts sourcing or figuring out power. I’m hoping you guys make progress on these and post updates to keep me motivated. Those jewels are sick.

    What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

    I would have appreciated some pictures! :ROFLMAO: I got one of these a couple years ago. The brush it comes with has a scraper end that was a big upgrade from the thumbnail system for finger gunk removal. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0844RM9W1?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
