    Boutique Pedal Manufacturers Are Feeling the Tariff Pinch

    100% - I went and looked at his stuff and it looked nice, but equally, apart from the blues breaker with the clever name it was "my take on X circuit". I mean if you work it out and the volume savings and margins work with 50 pedals it's not the worst idea - but you've got to have an idea that...

    Boutique Pedal Manufacturers Are Feeling the Tariff Pinch

    It's interesting how things have changed... reading really early "here's how this pedal works" stuff, like RG Keens stuff, and it's all quite technical - and you could learn stuff.... and then came the forums where DIY pedal geeks would trace things and get their own Vero/perfboard copies, or...

    Boutique Pedal Manufacturers Are Feeling the Tariff Pinch

    The whole post reads a little like “I’ve put all this effort in and expect ppl to want to buy my pedals” - I think it’s a bit mad, like I know there’s a whole pedal scene that I’m not in, but in my mind most “boutique hand built” pedals are either completely derivative, or slightly derivative...

    when to use mlcc capacitors

    Or even there’s the possibility the not-so-good specs actually sound better … There’s a few threads on forums in bass land where people have tried to trace and clone the Wal bass filter preamp - and EVERY SINGLE TIME I’ve seen it the person goes “oh wow the IC used is prehistoric we’ll have to...

    💖 Stay Alive ✨ Top Five of '25 💖

    Pretty sure I shared these in the “YOUR workbench” thread. Challenge was can you make it in one of these tiny gorva enclosure s - yes is thr answer. I made a batch of 6 early 2025 - and then the power socket went out of production and took a while to find a good supplier for one (didnt want to...

    I think I made about 5 things so in order… 5. I tried to mash together the broughton HPF/LPF in a loop of the skeptical buffer. It worked but wasn’t great at all. There’s better ways to mess up your impedances. 4. Skeptical buffer. If you want to know what your bass/guitar sounds like with a...

    This Week on the Breadboard: Shallow Water

    It takes a while but I’ve got the LPG closed at one end and open at the other- so you can find the sweet spot to get the fretless sound Zach does from about 2:20 onwards

    What's on the workbench?

    I think you should get a bass for Christmas and try it out… and then compare it to that other bass centric fuzz ild *love* to buy your PCB for as soon as you’ve dusted it off your shelf… 😎😁
