    I'll post more pics in the AM. Sun is setting and time to wind down.

    Guvernator - No juice to clipping diodes

    The LED indicator lights ups just fine, but after that everything seems to go south. Here are the vital signs - TLT72 Leg 1 = 15 mV ~. Ranges from 12mV to 16mV TLT72 Leg 7 = 1 mV D2 = Anode 3.3 mV D3 = K 3 mV D1 Input = 9.45 mV D1 output = 85.4 mV No sound when circuit is engaged. Strange...

    Show us your work Bench

    I'm looking for ways to stremline my workflow. Not that I do any kind of production work but seeing how others have their work benches configured would likely give me some ideas.

    Most common annoyances

    I just soldered up a 1/4" plug. And of course I forgot to run the cabling through it first. Doh! If I had a dime for every time...

    Most common annoyances

    Doing an enclosure justice takes wayyyyy longer than building the circuit. One day when I'm smart I'm I'll build my enclosure first. Then I'll decide what circuit to put in it.

    Nothing right now. But I think it's time to pull out some Kurt Vonnegut.

    Measure your LDR's to get a set that are equally matched. The tolerances on these are kind of all over the place.

    This issue is occurring on channel 2 and the bad cap was on channel 6.

    Power Supply issue

    I recapped my Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2 as one of the caps was bad. Whole I was at it, I replaced all the power regulators too (LM317LZ) On one channel the voltage drops from 9.2~ to anywhere from 3.5v to 4.5v. Could this be the bridge rectifier going tits up?

    Y'all only use tantalums 'cause they look good on a board.

    Hopefully future generations, how many there will be is up for debate, will not judge us by their contemporary standards. As Carl Sagan said, survival is the exception, extinction is the norm. Humans won't stop pillaging until thee is nothing left to pillage. As long as there is a buck to be...

    Now Playing... What are you Listening to Right Now?

    Well, I picked up a decent print of Tubular Bells at a garage sale Saturday. After a run through my record cleaner I just gave it a spin. Not my cup of tea so may have to put on some Jeff Beck or Art Blakely. Decisions.

    Brian Wampler builds/mods a PedalPCB Board

    Shit, I've been doing all wrong. I have Crayola brand markers in my cupboards. Frankly I didn't get the appeal and the staining on my tongue and lips was getting problematic. I've got a Crayola 64 box on order now. Does anyone have a preferred color?

    Long 6/32 screw broke off in powder-coated enclosure hole, stuck

    I've noticed on the Tayda powder coated enclosures the screw holes can be a bit tight. Didn't realize the screws were soft enough to snap off. I'll chase the threads before inserting a fastener from now on.

    Guvenator - More Cowbell! No, I mean more Bass

    I assembled a Guvenator recently and over all I am very happy with it. I'm building another one and rather than PCB mounted pots I'm going to fly leads to the solder lugs. The reason I'm doing this with the pots is because I want the controls laid out like you would find on a Marshall amp...

    SOLVED Daydream Width Doesn't Sound Right

    Ok, flipped back around and it does sound much better. Thank you for the info,

    SOLVED Daydream Width Doesn't Sound Right

    I saw another Daydream build where the regulator was in opposite of what I did. I went by the image screen printed on the PCB. I'll flip it back to how I had it originally. I did reflow all the joints so maybe that was the original issue. I'll post back the results.
