    Selling parts on eBay?

    I've never sold anything on ebay, but it's something I've thought about doing a lot. As a seller there's value in having a good number of completed transactions and a good rating. Even if you're not going to get rich selling your extra transistors, building up your profile could be cool.

    Get anything cool from McMaster Lately?

    I wouldn't really try and get you to go on a mission to save me 12 bucks. I do really want one of those tremolos though. And a hot dog. :cry:

    Get anything cool from McMaster Lately?

    Great! I've been meaning to order one of those Mirage Tremolo PCBs. Maybe you can pick me up some washers and a couple of those hot dogs people are always talking about, and throw those in there.

    Ugh math and searching? I'm looking for lazy instant gratification retail therapy here! :ROFLMAO:

    Get anything cool from McMaster Lately?

    I was just reading this post, and decided I wanted some of those washers @johnk_10 has been using on his LED lenses. https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/luxury-763-build.29766/post-388309 I was ready to drop $12 for 50 washers, but it's gonna be another $12 to ship them which is annoying...

    Any effect pedal mimicking the DBX 165 compressor?

    Is the active pad a commercial device? Or something you built? Those requirements are way out of my wheelhouse, so I've got no relevant advice, but I do think it could be interesting to measure your signal voltage at different stages and consider how that might factor into your results.

    Any effect pedal mimicking the DBX 165 compressor?

    That's a hot signal! I've never had a guitar with active pickups, so I'm not familiar with if that's a normal level, or how that effects other things in the chain. What does the pad knock the voltage down to? I wonder if/ how your voltage level is contributing to your experiences with...

    Any effect pedal mimicking the DBX 165 compressor?

    I expect sound would pass through at instrument level, but the compressor wouldn't perform the same. Compressors react to the strength of the signal that hits them - in other words the voltage of the signal. So if a rack compressor circuit is designed to respond to a signal at line level...

    Any effect pedal mimicking the DBX 165 compressor?

    I’ve been satisfied with mine, but I can’t say whether it could meet your requirements. I read most of your first compressor thread and I know you’re looking for some very specific results. I mostly wanted to point out that they’re inexpensive and have those two features you mentioned (over easy...

    Any effect pedal mimicking the DBX 165 compressor?

    I'm not familiar with the 560a, but it looks like it's a 500 series module - in case you're not familiar with the format, that means it needs to be installed in a 500 series case to be useful. The modules don't have their own power supplies or in/ out jacks.

    Any effect pedal mimicking the DBX 165 compressor?

    Have you considered trying some 19 inch DBX gear? The vintage 165 you like is way out of my budget, but I've got a lowly 166xl in my rack that has those auto and overeasy settings. Looks like they're well under $100 at the usual used gear sites.

    Sheepy Love Bee Sting (One Control Silver Bee)

    Did you wire that one right? ha! jk. But maybe post updated pics if you've done a bunch of stuff. What's up with this joint?

    Did you wire your output jack for ring instead of tip? https://wiki.pedalpcb.com/wiki/Jacks

    Aleph Tape Delay Mk2

    All the lengths I went to on lettering were because I was never able to able to lay down a handwritten label that looked as nice as the ones you did here. For my money there's nothing as cool as a good hand written one. I've always been super impressed by folks who do calligraphy, sign...

    Acid Etch Transfer Help

    That came out awesome! You’re in a pickle now though. Drilling holes in Oliver’s face is obviously a no-go, and footswitch in the name is no good either. What about one of these? https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/ppcb-headphone-amplifier.29272/

    What's on the workbench?

    I guess I might build one of those someday too. Just isn’t the thing I got excited for when I saw all them holes.

    Breadboard DMM thingy?

    That would be very cool

    Waterslide Decal Wording? One long strip or individual words?

    If you’re not going to start over, I’d say leave it the way it is. You’ll see the strip under the clear coat, but I think it’ll look better than if you scratch it up trying to cut it.
