    3AX31C Germanium gain

    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.

    Which transistor type provide the highest gain: BJT, JFET or MOSFET?

    My stuff gets pretty smutty on my onlyfans.

    Which transistor type provide the highest gain: BJT, JFET or MOSFET?

    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...

    General capacitor questions

    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...

    Boutique Pedal Manufacturers Are Feeling the Tariff Pinch

    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...

    Confused with the 5 way rotary switch

    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?

    Please explain rotary switch wiring to me

    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...

    STICKMAN'S LETS LEARN CNC THREAD

    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...

    Your favorite JIS screwdriver set?

    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.

    Soldering Sponge Recommendation

    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.

    Your favorite JIS screwdriver set?

    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...

    PPCB Ginormous

    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.

    3AX31C Germanium gain

    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?

    3AX31C Germanium gain

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

    3AX31C Germanium gain

    Some germs take longer than others to stabilize. The TC-1 generally does a quick test that doesn't really take this natural settling into account. What that means, though, is that you can generally expect the leakage and gain values read by the tc-1 to be slightly higher than a stabilized...

    LCR-P1 Tester: Upgrade From TC-1?

    Honestly? The big battery does last longer. Never knew why before. Batteries are...eh...fickle. You might see that there's a protection circuit board that the leads are soldered to on all of these: this disconnects the battery once it reaches a certain low voltage state in order to prevent...

    Boutique Pedal Manufacturers Are Feeling the Tariff Pinch

    Some of us are more interested in the minutiae of brand-building and mythology than the actual, you know, nuts and bolts of doing the selling of the pedals thing. Not I, though. I have my factory of entirely legally employed children building and selling my pedals in the second dimension like...

    LCR-P1 Tester: Upgrade From TC-1?

    Ol cannabis cigarette victory here likes to brag. Too thick, they say. Too long, they say. Nah. He gon' make it fit. Sheitteeee. I can't talk. Mines two dimensional.

    LCR-P1 Tester: Upgrade From TC-1?

    Too big! 14mm thick that guy. Probably end up interfering with the JST XH connector too: 74's about 9mm longer than I'd go.
