I spent my spring break finally working on a preamp for my fretless based on Charlie's preamp. Bass ~ +- 12db @ 70hz Mids ~ +- 12db @ 600hz Treble is the lpf module with a +3dB/+6dB resonance switch All the EQ curves sounded great in my daw so I'm excited to hear how it sounds. I'm not totally...

Looks like Cable solutions has one and it's now on the way. If I have time I'll try to do a shoot out with the three. I can reamp from my interface and turn the XLR output all the way up so the transformer is getting hit hard. If the differences are great enough I might be able to isolate...

I have a LBA in my personal build and have a unagi in hand for slan up coming project. I'm building a nobelium for a friend who is insistent on using a Jensen transformer

anyone know where i can buy a jensen JT-DB-EPC? A few places have the wirelead version but not the pcb mount version

1590dd is the biggest size tayda sells i think. The only reason I would go with something that small is for the cheap drilling tayda does

I love the raw head look. The only reason I wouldn't do one just like this is because I want a spring reverb. A speakon cable that connects the speaker and the reverb tank would be an interesting solution

I have enough experience to roll my own parts and there are mods I want that aren't standard so there's no reason for me to grab a kit. I'm also shopping for second hand transformers to save some costs. I think I could probably fit a champ into a 1590dd and have tayda do the drilling. I have a...

I tried it once but it was pretty difficult. I gave up before i got something working

It's about time I get around to building my first amp. I don't really play guitar so I could use some suggestions. What I want from this amp: -A platform to test pedals with. I don't it to be a super clean pedal platform amp though. I want to be able to feel the interaction between pedal and...

I've been been wanting to try some of the That suggested circuits. It's probably a little outside my current abilities but ive been throwing myself into difficult projects and learning fast. I have too many projects in the que and not enough time at the moment.

Awesome! I'm on the edge of moving and starting to build out my studio. I'm guessing it'll be about a two-three year process to get it in a state im happy with starting with treatment, then speakers, then outboard gear. I've become so much better of a builder in the past year and have started...

If unagi is making multi tap inductors are we going to see a sushi take on a pultec in the future? Id love to see some affordable mic input and output transformers. I've been wanting to build some Jensen twin servo type preamps but I just cant afford the xformers at the moment. At this point I...

Example from the ember boost/TC spar Is the thought that the impedance at vref is very low so there isn't as much of your signal loss through the vref generator compared to an unbuffered voltage divider? I'm thinking about it too hard and confusing myself

When ever a pedal needs an odd amount of opamps, the extra opamp is usually slapped on the end of the power supply. For example, a pedal that uses 5 op amps would take 3 tl072s, that gives you 6 opamps to work with. I usually see this extra op amp used as a unity gain buffer after the power...

Fixed

Super excited for this one. I made a board for a dual discrete opamp based on the blues driver. I'm going to make a few and drop one into my morning glory for a blues driver/breaker hybrid. Like this https://vero-p2p.blogspot.com/2022/07/marshall-blues-driver-boss-discrete.html I think...

Great response! How do tants compare to similarly priced aluminum caps? A high quality Nichicon or Panasonic cap cost about the same as the tants offered on tayda

Tantalums seem to be the real contentious one. I've read lots of conflicting info It seems like pretty much every capacitor type is available in that 1uf-10uf making the choice even harder

Yeah I usually use cheaper or midrange components for any dirt and anything that drastically changes the signal. Also for pedals I just want to play with. I use higher end components for more transparent effects like clean preamps, EQs, and compressors. If I think a pedal is going to earn a...

I've been looking at a lot @Chuck D. Bones reworks and noticed his frequent use of tantalum capacitors. What I've gathered so far is that in the signal path: Film > Tantalum > Aluminum for large values and Film > silver mica? >Mlcc > ceramic for small values I've also found that Mlcc caps are...
