Undefeated trick for way heavy fuzz with an HP is a buffer or *very* slight boost in front. Albini tone chasers steer clear.

First all tube amp since I was 14. Laney AOR 30 combo. Bought it as a birthday present to myself. Rips like all hell

I'd say I'm always surprised at the Hfe ranges that sound good to my ears when I'm socketing transistors, even in circuits that are more dependent on variations. Honestly, it's such a fun thing about pedal building to me.

Here's some more part numbers that are binned by Hfe, ranges pulled from datasheets. last letter here is the bin - 2SC1815-O 70-140 - S9013-D 64-91 - S8050-B 64-91 - 2SA1020-O 70-140 - 2SC1384-Q 85-170 - KTC3202-O 70-140 - A44-A 80-100 - A42-A 80-100 - 2SC945R 80-100

I checked and it is the yellow КТ315И (sometimes has the suffix “D” in latin). Mine measure from 50-80. The J suffix (orange) measure around 140. Also in my bins are KSP06TAs from Tayda that measure around 95. Most others I have on hand have been mentioned I’ve had the best luck with them by...

I forget which suffix is the lowest gain of the Soviet KT315 (I believe КТ315И, but I'll double check when I'm home) but it's an awesome and cheap low hfe transistor. Weird pins but easy enough to finagle. I have a big ol' section of my drawer bins for low Hfe SI and I'll check to see if any I...

@steviejr92 that enclosure is incredible, completely looks like something you'd see for sale at an audio place

Thank you so much @Big Monk @temol @KR Sound !!! Edit: While Descant fits my needs for just one word on a pedal, here's some background that I found while reading up on it, for posterity and anyone interested: Descant is a digitization of Tedesca, which you might recognize from this iconic...

Bumping this ID request. Any help appreciated

the ec-1000 I saved up for while working my first shitty job in highschool was out of commission from botched inner wiring for a year and a half, in large part because I don’t really have the room to work on guitars at home. still a lot of work to do but it’s playable again after sometime at...

You can find them on sale on zoro every now and then. I paid closer to 30 for my last two on sale from there

You can define label positioning in a footprint in diptrace FWIW. Add text, right click it and select from the “show” menu. You’ll need to briefly populate refdes and value as you do it. This is how DT suggested doing bottom layer refdes labels and while that doesn’t work, it does let you nail...

Always good to hear from you Tim :) Hope all is well!!

Before trying to adapt the Narrowcast circuit to the Simulcast PCB I would just try socketing Q2 and try using a low HFE silicon PNP transistor - such as 2N2904, 2N2905A, 2N3703, etc, and using trimpots for R7 & R8 in case OC71 leakage (unsure if this is the case, but rather safe than sorry) has...

I forget if I’ve shared my newest obsession here or not, La Lom. Almost like if Khraungbin or Kikagaku Moyo did Cuban music. I’m seeing them next month at an intimate venue and am super excited!

I fooled around with it long enough to be confident that diptrace is still 100% better for me. Same headaches as other kicad versions, doesn’t do anything faster or better than diptrace. Spice simulation is useless if I can draw the circuit in LTSpice in 1/10th of the time

I manage a tattoo shop with some of my favorite artists on the planet and have been in the industry for 8 years. It’s one of the more fun ways to be comfortable enough over the poverty line that I’ve come across. I also work with the most well adjusted adults the industry can have and am one of...

My go to wind down song lately. Resavoir’s Sunset. A beautiful warbly synth meander from a great jazz musician. This captures the feeling of my head hitting a comfortable pillow after a long day.

I’ve thought about writing a plugin for it too. Its all python right?

There’s some really cool features in this release that I’ve been wanting in diptrace. Gonna install kicad 8 on my mac and take it for another whirl, thanks for the heads up! Have they made it easier to place components in a schematic yet? A sidebar like diptrace would be sooo nice
