    This week on the Breadboard - FET / Germanium Boost

    Man, I really need to get into eyelet boards. They always look so great! (Your board looks especially good btw, Temol..)

    Two Sticks of Derm Fuzz gain control

    I'd go with a B1M pot between FS and the pcb input..

    El Sol mod for Bass

    Sorry, only kind of an answer, but I highly recommend checking out the datasheet for the lm386. Specifically section 9.2.1.2. It details how to get around 6 dB of bass boost with a super simple RC link between pins 1 and 5! What size potentiometer did you use for the gain control? If it's at...

    Battery adapter for the tearjerker

    You need a switching 2.1 mm jack to take the battery + out of circuit when you plug in a power supply, otherwise you send voltage to the battery, which will then let out the magic smoke!💥 If the battery is not inserted when the power supply is, and vice-versa, it should be ok..

    Pot and Kettle Schematic

    Looks like a modded morning glory/bluesbreaker with a jfet boost..am I right?

    Protoboard Power Question

    Is Ohms law not taught anymore? Genuinely asking. It was a major part of my early (basic) electronics knowledge. I highly encourage everyone to learn it. Do some figures, calculate current, voltage drops,etc. Then get an app that does it for you..:cool:

    General Tso's Compressor - Treble control extremely subtle?

    Eqd made the first part of the rotation a treble "cut". It doesn't boost until 11 o' clock or so. You can add a 20k resistor between pin 1 and ground, 7 o' clock will be ~unity and it'll be boost all the way up!

    SOLVED Mesmerizer - LED Will Not Light

    I thought you were stroking out..:oops:

    This Week on the Breadboard: The Yankee ScrewDriver Deluxe Turbo

    Looks very cool, how different soundwise is it from the Screwdriver? Where does "yankee" come from?

    Archibald build squealing

    Oh man, those holes are begging for some creepy backlighting! Couple resistors and led's, and it'd really kick it up!

    Substitute for a 2N5457 on a Pro-10 build (odr-1 circuit)

    The way it's used in that circuit, it should work. Excuse my brevity. Definitely use a socket.

    The BetaBax (or me being too lazy to breadboard a Sunn Beta)

    So why are the inverters used here and not, say, an op amp? I'm not familiar with the original circuit at all..

    OC79 Hfe Values

    A rote answer with little regard for the original question asked?.. Hmmm... how very "bot" like of you... Damn bots :(

    Need helping installing a treble bleed cap

    That lil' yellow thing is (I believe) a 22nf capacitor. You sure that isn't already set up with a "treble bleed"?.. Some PRS I've seen have 180pf installed from factory..

    Buddy's Breadboard and Circuit Design Notes

    Definitely gonna try this one! The Ultrastoner was a great recommendation, totally right about the EQ on that one. Have you checked out the Mountainking Megalith? Think you'd dig it!

    The curious case of the three 4558s

    Maybe just a little "crunch"..

    The curious case of the three 4558s

    So.. AFTER you wore it around a few days and then to find it mangled in your kicks, you said " I gotta try that out real quick.." ?:geek: Did it add Mojo?

    Heat sink to prevent wire melting

    Silicon insulated, pre-tinned solved all the problems I've ever suffered with hook-up wire.

    Weighing down a PCB holder

    I know its not great, but a "c" clamp or wood clamp could help out alot..
