    What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

    I like the gray scale curtains in the new one, very modern 😁

    PedalPCB Isosceles

    Thanks! Beside the Korg Tuner (I need to get myself a QTune at some point soon) and the Mooer Ocean Machine, I have a Pedal PCB Muzzle as a staple. The rest is just boost and overdrives on rotation... Currently this Isosceles, a Wonder Drive, AionFX Titan (OCD clone with some switches) and a...

    PedalPCB Isosceles

    Build rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐:whitewasher: (I still think PedalPCB pads could be a tad bigger so I can still solder when drunk) Since I am basically done with the small light overdrive collection I wanted to build, I am moving to clean boosts. First in line was the obvious TCPre/33/Grind combination. The...

    What's your current headache?

    DHL deciding to not ring the bell and bring my package not to the next, or second next closest packstation for me to pickup but at the other litteral side of town. Also it's not even my transformers it's just clothes for my kids.

    Tube Preamp PCB (draft)

    Grid resistors are supposed to filter out the RF picked up between the previous stage output and the grid of that tube. In theory they should be soldered directly to the grid socket. On my PCBs (with PCB mounted sockets) I have the grid resistor pad basically touching the grid pad.

    Tube Preamp PCB (draft)

    Looks good. You still have a couple of parallel traces that might be close enough to couple (thinking D3-R19 area). Might want to swap some traces to the other side there, the PCB thickness will help with that. Having the soldering points a bit far apart for the pots isn't a big deal but make...

    Black Friday / Cyber Week 2025 deals - anything cool coming?

    Going to be honest and say I am not waiting on anything pedal related but was hoping for good deals on computers (need to upgrade, I'm windows 10 stuck) and luthery wood... both have been pretty scarce our side of the world sadly :( Musikding isn't doing a sale, any transformer provider I want...

    Got a good desk lamp?

    My man! Ultra-polishing his amp chassis using snuff-movie worthy lightning.

    For what it's worth, the cathode on the parallel V1 and V2B on the Deliverance is set up like the right schematic. For the hiss, have you tried moving wires around with a chopstick? Otherwise, maybe increase the grid resistors?

    At least Hammond is canadian :ROFLMAO: Transformers are the biggest pain really.

    No. I have been doing more modelling of the chassis etc and some minor adjustments on the PCB. I am toying with the idea of simply getting them printed again as the shipping will be covered by the chassis anyway, and I don’t like a few things in my current PCB version. I really like the idea of...

    Bought this after starting to be “cab and speaker curious”. Palmer 1x12 open backs, pretty oversized and well made it seems. Seemed like a good base for speaker rolling. Came with an Eminence Maverick, which is actually pretty awesome by itself. Has a growl that I like and is not harsh at...

    In your case -knowing you have some ptp under your belt- I would make some building blocks and mess around. And then link one to the others, building block style. Parallel and series V1, one or two gain stages, CF tone stack.. and see where that gets you.

    Is it ok to have copper pours with deviations and edges like this?

    They won't care. And unless it's very pointy it won't cause any issues.

    Black Friday / Cyber Week 2025 deals - anything cool coming?

    Hey, Has anyone located some interesting pedal deals this time around they'd like to share? I have just seen that there are quite a few nice deals to be had on Thomann in the "Misc guitar effect category", especially on Pigtronix and Foxgear stuff. Philosopher stone etc more than half off...

    Tube Preamp PCB (draft)

    Looks better already. You have a few parallel traces on the same PCB side I am not a fan of (gain pot for example) and some surprising choices of component connections (why do C9 - C10 - R14 and not C9- R14-C10? Doesn't change a thing for the electrons, but you'll save some trace length). More...
