Thnx! I got a 24v supply max, how fast will it discharge with the 10k?

I only measured capacitance which read well over 200uf, which is quite a drift. They are rated 63v.

I did! 2 of the 100uf read way over 200uf! ? The 10uf were fine though, even as the tropical fish caps, these were pretty consistent in their values. Also a few polystyrene 1nf in the bag, they measured: ... well.. 1nf precise! I'm really impressed by these old philips stuff, and thats not only...

just found a little NOS treasure with a bunch of philips bc107b's and mustard/tropical fish caps/radial Electrolytes. Need some inspiration and suggestions for something to build with them.

Emerson's EM drive. A whopping 5 parts on the board. 2 resitors, single transistor, 2 caps.

Thnx for your replies! Tweaking pedals and amps is a thing a lot of people spent time with, and do too much sometimes I noticed. And that was what started to intrigue me. Is there a "secret" frequency setting regarding your amp and pedals? Or pedals that sit exactly right and operate in that...

I enjoy the occasional vero building and it is pretty satisfying and also therapeutic. (if it works when finishing it that is ?) Lots of tutorials on the net like on sites mentioned above. I started simple too: orman mosfet boost, fuzzes etc, and since have build tubescreamers, a bigfoot...

Right, after wima'ing my original greer lightspeed last night, I had this brainfart. 'Why do I like this pedal so much?' And why do I like that one, and those ones. Then it hit me.. could it be related to frequencies? In other words, could these pedals be close to each other in frequency range...

This could work in a Big Muff circuit then.

Sometimes, I've seen epoxy, latex/rubbery stuff, transparent hot glue. My greer Lightspeed and Southland had the components painted black then hot glued over. A lovepedal I once owned had rubbery black stuff on it which reminded me of that stuff they waterproof a roof/shingles with. Tectile it's...

We've all been there. And that feeling.. when you just put heart/soul/elbowgrease in building a pedal then finding out when testing it: nothing.. Aaaarghh!! ?

Thnx everyone! Indeed i experienced only benefits from building on pcb. Cuts building time in half opposed to vero. And well-designed they are! Thnx again and a shout-out to mr. PCB himself!

Well.. it happened! As much as I like vero/perfboard, I am now switching to pcb. Here my first PPCB build, a Pyrocumulus. Love this thing, I never owned a Muff style pedal and thought this might be a good option. Didn't disappoint! Yes, "au naturel" aluminium box, I'm not as creative as some of...

Something from the south?

Yes! That's correct ??

That would be excellent!

Almost, measuring gives me the following:

The "hidden" resistor is the 12k. The one right next to the bat41's is a 22k... that might be the alternative for the one missing 4.7k!
