I'm talking strictly about the "Motorola" "AC128"s. And I'm probably losing my place in the conversation. It's cool. IGNORE ME!

All good points. My stuff is just aping what works in a wah pedal. If your electrical and temperature considerations are too far outside of that then you're gonna have a bad time.

Any of the commercially available inductors will work for this purpose: even the ones that are 4 pin only tend to use two of the four. The only rub is the value. Most of the commercially available wah inductors are gonna veer closer to 600mH. The ME-6 is a great value, but its also in the...

Seeing prices nowadays on these little things is nuts. I bought a box of 200 a year ago for like...110 dollars. Cheappppppp.

I mean, it's a TO-5. Which, most of the time, that particular transistor tends to be in a TO-1. At least as far as I've seen. Chinese transistors tend to be in different packages. I dunno...I doubt these are new production. Mostly because I don't see anything with new production germanium...

I mean, either that or they soldered a resistor in parallel with the emitter and collector. I'm not even convinced that these things are *transistors*, truth told.

My stuff gets pretty smutty on my onlyfans.

Stickman bang rocks. I'm wrapping my head round this little guy. And I'm enjoying the pain. I'm ultimately not super well versed in EE, though. Some of the terminology goes a little over my head. Like...Transconductance. The ability for a device to convert voltage into current. New vocab...

Ya know, I'm kinda skeptical about this train of thought. Cause there's really three options here. A) the golden eared fellow specifically picked the inferior (as defined by its operation vs what one would define as an "ideal") capacitor because unicorn farts smell like the finest vintage wine...

You know what's fun about semiconductor manufacturing... We've got a bunch of Superfund sites here in silicon valley. The old Fairchild semiconductor manufacturing facilities were here. Where a bunch of Google buildings currently are, in fact. I've worked in a bunch of those buildings over...

How you looking to wire it up? IIRC, PRS did some fancy shit with their 5 way. You looking for more traditional strat-style switching?

2p3T: Two poles. Each pole has four terminals. One is the common, which connects to the other three. The other three are "connects to common in position 1", "connects to common in position 2", and "connects to common in position 3" respectively. The poles do not directly interact, they're...

OK. Its been a little while since my last update. I finally got the board in my above post installed: and can firmly state that it is fuckin...not great. Wi-Fi connectivity is garbage. Disconnects, doesn't reconnect until you reboot the thing. Garbage. But, it's a nice controller...

Don't help so much when they're recessed, unfortunately. At that point you gotta drill em and grab an ez out. I'll go on record and say that the pozidriv is the superior fastener drive, too. Phillips is balls.

Steel works. But you're gonna wear down your tip faster. Brass is better. But a wet sponge is needed sometimes. Personally? Scissors, kitchen. Boom. Done.

Fucking right they are. Jeeeezus I see this all the time at work. Circuit breakers, terminals, contactors, and motor starters all stripped to shit because some asshole didn't realize they were working with a pozidriv. Thing is...sure. it kinda works. Just like how you can kinda get away...

The great thing about the hater contest is that it absorbs all negativity. It is a supermassive black hole, and it's event horizon begins at "meh". I would say something like "behold" but like...you can't...really...see...black...eh... Hmm. Got a retool this one.

It'll read iceo on an npn. Could be pretty low. Could be super high. I've had both happen. Out of curiosity, what's the gain sitting on those?

Q1 and Q3 in a tonebender need some leakage. All depends on the design, some folks engineered a degree of leakiness to their advantage
