Good idea. I haven't opened spice in a while, now that I've got a little more electrical theory under my belt it could be edifying. The schematic is good: I've got a handful of rocktron's and they're all pretty similar. Eleca is the OEM, same for Carl Martin, and BBE (yes, the Sham-Wah!). Not...

Enshitification. Cory Doctorow wrote the book on it.

I am. Just confirmed on an actual board. Its a head trip. *Stickman scratches his head, musing to himself* So...cap blocks DC, DC bias remains unchanged. AC at guitar frequencies basically sees that 100nf cap as a shunt compared to the 56K ohm resistor. This reduces AC emitter resistance...

Looking good! Vocal mod, 82K instead of 100K on that q2 bias resistor, and dropping that Q1 emitter wayyyy down lowww. I think the kids would call this *teh secks*. I was able to dig up a schematic of what I've seen on rocktron pedals, I had forgotten about the series resistor: Soooo...how...

Aite: I've seen some hype around the JAM Wahcko. Nice thing is, these folks post photos of the top sides of their circuit boards. Red Fasel inductor, BC109 transistors. Interesting point: seems they use the "C" gain bucket. Not my preference, but, to each their own. Carbon composition...

My major innovation in the market, and the reason I attribute my success to, is my revolutionary marketing scheme. A program I like to call "low expectations". 1) Sales can never dip if you never had any to begin with. 2) your latest beep boop machine is cool and all, but you know where the...

Here's a link. Aliexpress links can be short-lived, but the seller is topPCB. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mrNGtgF I haven't plugged it in yet, and some of what I've read from other forums is that your ultimate B+ voltage on this thing is going to depend on your heater current. Meaning, you...

Little note: The toroid is an atypical design choice. I did it because I don't know any better, and I'm trying to do this relatively economically. In truth: EI transformers are far more economical on a large scale manufacturing basis, but they're also *extremely specialized* when we're...

My next product: The Stickman Good Cunt.

Update! I've been doing a bit of fab work for this thing. Updates: fuck it, I'm gonna put it in a pre-made cab. Why? Cause I want to get this one done faster, and my router table needs some attention before I'm gonna be ready to make a cabinet. So, whatevs. But, I have made a little...

Another note: For those interested in doing one full up vintage-style with wire wrap posts, I found that the Vector T46-5-9 is fairly similar to what was originally used in these. Also: the wire lacing techniques are fairly simple. All you need is a wax-impregnated flat ribbon thread and to...

Got a link to the inductor footprint I made for kicad right here. Only caveat is I haven't checked it against the RM-6 footprint of the quite excellent stompboxparts unit. Otherwise, its made with a few footprints and sizes from dunlop, epcot, ferroxcube, and magnetics in mind.

If that's the case I'd venture an educated guess that it's the centralab. Dunno why the change happened, but centralabs have lot/identifying numbers around the outer edge of the back of the potentiometer. AB'S are a bit more loud In their branding. Truthfully? Aside from this fact, them...

Just a Thomas Organ internal part number. Like I said, 2N2925s are the word on the street. The earliest dunlop crybabys have 'em too. The TO-92 variant, at least. Leftovers from the TO buyout. I've got a few examples like that. Including this one: Little transitional circuit board...

Boy howdy, I've seen a ton of those boards over the last few years. I could easily do one in kicad. Certainly got enough examples on hand: I've read that the 5117's are just rebranded 2n2925s. What's cool is that your example there has the sepulveda, CA backplate, the old TO-98 transistor...

Pimp your pedalboard with my branding. Stickman. Hell yeah. Available for purchase at your nearest nowhere. Awwwwww sheittteee, that's some fly ass wah pedal. I want it so bad. Too bad, fools, two dimensional wizards only. Keep it tight. Toan is in the sticks. The unobtainable sticks.

Early 80s dunlop crybaby. Just finished all the moddy mods. It's a very stupid pedal. I swapped all the carbon film resistors for carbon composition, added a little power supply filtration/reverse polarity protection. Swapped the greenie caps with ITW polyester caps (same types that were...

That's more like it. That's pretty clean as a way to incorporate a standby with a switchable rectification circuit. I'm loathe to add two switches, though. Might have to get creative on the backside of the amp. Hadn't thought of going between cathode and fixed bias, either. Probably won't...

Can't say I'm following your train of thought when it comes to splitting the rectifier switch. Maybe I should explain why I'm inclined to do it as an DPDT: Switching under load would be a bad idea: it would result in an instantaneous ~100vdc jump and a corresponding surge in current. I might...

Gonna be a 1x8 combo. Small, portable, good for plugging in with a pedal or two is the idea. Just for a change of pace from my massive FM9 pedalboard & 1500 watt SS poweramp. Going with a toroid transformer has several advantages, not the least of which is the fact that they're significantly...
