    Best brand of breadboard

    Busboard also makes great vero/stripboard. The tracking and the traces are nice and thick.

    new build: Duck Box

    yeah this one was underwhelming effect-wise (I assume that's what you're experiencing). I do find boosting the signal into it helps quite a bit, so try that.

    Current Tayda fees after new tariff?

    I wonder if their low price shipping option weren't managing tariffs so they dropped it or something like that.

    PedalPCB source germanium transistors?

    According to Aion's build doc for the Broadcast: "Others including the Dual Broadcast use the NTE 2N404A, a new-production germanium that is anywhere from 50 to 250 hFE. The 2N404A taken from a Broadcast in this video measured at 216 hFE with 125µA leakage." So I guess it sounds "relatively...

    This is what I used in my duocast (and where I bought it) https://www.amplifiedparts.com/products/transistor-2n404a-germanium-5-case-pnp I measured it at hfe=200 and 76 mA

    Where to go next? Wanting to expand my knowledge

    I hadn't seen these before and spent a couple hours watching some of them. They were surprisingly better than I thought they'd be, but I also learned that Josh doesn't know electronics and you shouldn't listen to him that closely on technical matters.

    Mod BYOC Mouse to standard RAT

    If you turn the ruetz knob fully CCW, it should be pretty much a stock rat sound.

    Duck Box doesn't quack enough

    When I built mine it was underwhelming with single coils, but if I put a boost in front, it worked much better. Maybe I'll dig it out and try swapping that cap.

    ICs and Transistors, Socket or Solder?

    I socket. There's some folks here that will tell you that sockets are not macho, but I'm ok with it.

    Love My Switches 3DPT Boards

    think you meant "only populate one" was going to mention you could also put half your CLR value in one and half in the other to use both. or this is where 0R resistors come in handy

    Cigar Box Ruby Amps

    I kinda wish I threw a simple tremolo into it. since I made my own layout I could've easily included a vico vibe or similar circuit.

    Cigar Box Ruby Amps

    I built a cigar box amp based on the Runoffgroove Ruby circuit, and the other one was built by our neighbor. How these came to be: My neighbor's daughter took a class on guitar building at Purdue last year, so has an electric guitar but no amp. My neighbor knows I build pedals and kept...

    Why does nobody use these outtie DC jacks?

    I also use white washers with them. I've found that the jacks I have are too wide to use a stock washer, and have to ream the washer a bit to make a fit, which is kind of pain.
