Hello there - I ordered some Germanium 1n34 online from a brick and mortar store, and something isn't quite adding up. Did some testing and here is what I saw: Fv .409v Leakage 12.1 nA Cap 9 pf Right away saw the forward voltage is high, diving in more the leakage is low from what I am...

Seeing that shipping rate, I figured a large chunk of the cost was weight and size of the enclosures. $600 for 550 transistors comes out the same price. 2-3lbs in a small box vs 2 25lbs boxes?

That is what I am thinking as well, just having an Akro to the side. On my desk, I have room for 3 across and I have stacked a 4th on top of one. So a total of 2-64 drawer and 2-44 drawers units. I am just REALLY bad at putting things away if "away" isn't right there. Ask my wife, clothes...

I do that with my PCBs, I have a 3 ring binder with a sleeve, the build docs and the PCB. A couple times I have dumped it, it was a mess. But the card holders do have a bit more grip. Honestly, I think I want the impossible, an Akro Mills 64 drawer with a handle and a way to lock the drawers...

I’m actually looking for more storage options. My current set up is a couple posts above and I’m clearly out of real estate at this point. I added an Akro Mils on the right above the bench too it works fine, just a little sketchy stability wise but works. Right now I’m trying to figure out a...

Honestly, neither of them sound that nice.

Were The Beach Boys really singing about Kokomo, Indiana?! Honestly, I would blame them for the delay. Aruba? Jamaica? Bermuda? Bahamas? Key Largo? Montego? Kokomo… Indiana?? That’s just misleading, Mike Love. Terrible directions. That said, they did give a warning: "We'll get there fast...

175? that’s a long weekend’s worth!

I ran the numbers a month ago or so and LMS came out quite a bit cheaper for a larger order of pots, switches and enclosures thanks to the $10 shipping cap and no sales tax. Since I’ve started powder coating my own enclosures, I only needed raw anyway. Right now I’ve got a cart going at Tayda...

Figured that was the case. Guess I will have to go old school and tape it off, just have never had success with that.

Hi! Putting some ideas together for a friend, have questions on Tayda’s gloss print capabilities. Thinking a matte black enclosure with gloss EVH style stripes. With the beveled edges, can the design carry cleanly onto the sides or should I just break it at the edges?

These were blessed by a medicine man that lives on the top of Mount Everest, sprinkled with 3 whiskers from Billy Gibbons and stored in the same cryogenic facility as Walt Disney, so yeah, they are worth at least $6.

A friend of mine ended up with a crap ton of random electronic components. While digging through it, I found a couple of SYL SR6723 parts. The Google machine says they’re Sylvania germanium diodes but when I measured them the forward voltage was 0.622 which seemed high for germanium. I grabbed...

At least here in Denver, a lot of libraries in the area have maker spaces with with computers, some have Adobe Illustrator and the like. Could be an option.

Looks great! I did the "5 star GE" mod to a boss SD-1, may need to get an UberDrive and tinker with it some more!

No, obviously not. Germany uses the metric system so it would be 22.8cm nails

I see "Nein!" and all I can think of is the Rammstein song Du Hast. (Also - great build and report!)

If I were to commercially release a pedal, I would 100% add unrelated sections with obscure parts and values just so those pesky DIYer's couldn't reverse engineer it.

That’s a clever idea. I might experiment with different amp settings though. Keeping everything identical might not always translate the same way kind of like swapping transistors in a pedal. Different ones can change the sound so a slight tweak might help each tube perform at its best.
