    Adding effects loop into pedal and avoiding ground loops…

    Oh! I thought it would be more complex that that!

    Adding effects loop into pedal and avoiding ground loops…

    I fully realise this will be covered on a thread or page somewhere obvious online that I haven’t found

    Adding effects loop into pedal and avoiding ground loops…

    I’ve searched, I’ve googled and lots of things about isolated power come up… If I wanted to add a switchable send return loop to a pedal design… presume buffer on send and return to avoid any impedance issues - is transformer isolation needed to avoid ground loops? Thinking of combing an input...

    Torso 🪚😱🟨 (Prunes & Custard/Curds and Whey)

    They are awesome - I don’t get changing the distortion bit idea, isn’t the distortion bit *the Wavefolding* bit - and then the diode ladder is after

    Warwick Hellborg preamp transformer question

    Well - first of all thank you Nathan Even if they can't sell something with you, what you managed to find out from them means we can work out what the design decisions would have been.... Its specs as you found are very very close a Neve line input transformer, wired backwards. So either...

    What's on the workbench?

    Going slightly back on topic - I tant it great @Robert has featured a few more bass players favourite pedals recently? Anyone got a 3leaf octavbre to loan him? The older one as the new one sounds a bit meh on a soundclip I heard (plus cult unavailable out of production stuff is the way)

    What's on the workbench?

    while the world is still an uncertain place, I'm glad I am young enough that some things are before my memory and experience. The Miners strike, Margret Thatcher, National Service, The phase where brown guitars were cool, the Cold War and the threat of mutually assured destruction, and now I...

    What's on the workbench?

    No idea who Stryper or Strypre are - before my time! Kilt = Stu G who was guitarist in the fairly obscure 90's band Delirious. or Deliriou5? as I think they styled it.

    What's on the workbench?

    I love the way that the signature pedal of a random British christian rock band I grew up listening too is a desirable thing now! Bear in mind that unlike the States, religion isn't a big thing and "Christian rock bands" have about the same following and cultural clout as skiffle bands do in...

    Mind you I don’t know if there’s any electrical engineering logic in the way I do things!

    Plz Critique My Layout

    There’s a one press shortcut to refill. I find using ground fill to make the layout zen easier- the only difficulty sometimes is separating digital ground or noisy leds from signal. But it means side one can be main traces, side two when you can’t get around something and then fill to see the...

    Jlcpcb and tariffs

    I woild expect (Cost of package + cost of postage) + tarrifs + processing fee. If it’s a set fee it will be a way to make the low value stuff simple to process and be on the package, not the number of items.

    Jlcpcb and tariffs

    £135 for duty - but our tarrifs are generally quite low - it’s the VAT charges that can be a pain. So the £50 worth of good, with I dunno £15 postage becomes £78 - plus the £12 or whatever that the courier charges. So £90… (oh and £65 I paid to the supplier was charged in US$ so somehow...

    Jlcpcb and tariffs

    I was trying to pull out positives! It is a pain when it comes to our specialist electrical components, but not more broadly. Even if it costs more to do it at the border if the spend on clothes switched from disposable stuff from some gamefied e-commerce shop to shop at the mall that and the...

    Jlcpcb and tariffs

    It’s not all crazy, there’s good logic in removing the minimum value before tarrifs apply - but while it’s good for the economy in total it’s not so great for hobby pedal builders. I imagine what will end up happening is something like for me over in UK where it's simpler and not much more to...

    didn't the majority of you guys in the US vote for this? It will not let me post that GIF of Homer Simpson backing into a hedge, so you're just going to have to imagine it. Sorry
