    Another Two Tone Fuzz build

    Sounds great! Definitely got the Tone Bender thing going on.

    Stuff you wanted to know but were afraid to ask

    That's gorgeous! Congrats!

    Pics or its a Takamine....

    Micro buffer build

    Looks great! I didn't even know @Robert had this project. I'll need to grab a couple:)

    MattG's Egregiously Expensive Crunch

    It's super subtle. But you should be hearing some coloring of the tone and light compression.

    Pelota 2 Delay (Sheepy Love & Dylan159)

    I hooked mine up to my ears and I'm hearing the same as you. I've always believed the delay times were limited by the particular 2399 IC but maybe I'm wrong about that?

    How to figure out the specs of this opto coupler?

    If you can remove it carefully, it's very easy to breadboard a tester. Set up a simple breadboard with 9v supply through a CLR resistor. Like 4k7. Plug the negative leg on the LED side of the optocoupler inline with the resistor. The other side to 9v power rail. Leave the LDR side of the legs...

    Acoustic Preamp Design - Preamp & EQ

    For sure acoustic IR's have changed the game completely. I have some acoustic IR's that I can run that "almost" make my Tele sound like a J-45. That's the "aha" moment I had when I realized that all this crazy stuff we do with guitars, amps, pickups, pedals, etc contributes like 5% to the tone...

    Acoustic Preamp Design - Preamp & EQ

    Wow, the only thing this is missing is dual input. When I had a regular acoustic gig (back in the olden days) I used a Raven Labs PMB-1. At the time it was the best thing in the market for dual source (Piezo + internal mic) acoustic guitar and bass players. I don't gig anymore but I've been...

    Sheepy Love (The Grift) Jan Ray

    Look great dude! I know you needed another win........ :ROFLMAO:

    IC Sockets

    I'm not following your math but the post is funny..... :ROFLMAO:

    IC Sockets

    I buy the cheap leaf sockets from Amazon. I guess I don't know how to build pedals..... :p

    Minnow/FSH-1 transistors?

    solder them. As long as your J201's are in spec. These are all run of the mill JFETs, PNP and NPNs.

    What's on the workbench?

    Oleg is the man. That's a great chart! Saving that to my desktop. :) Last time I checked he didn't have as much to offer in NPN's, that's what I need a re-stock on. Preferably leaky ones haha.

    What's on the workbench?

    Where did you get that assortment? Looks pretty nice and coverage across gain and leakage.

    Sheepy Love Old Fashioned (Animal pedals Major Overdrive)

    I think out of all the Skreddy pedals I've built this one seems to be the most forgiving in terms of the transistors. I initially built mine with 2N3904's which were a lot higher gain. It sounded great! But probably not like how Ahlfs builds it. When I switched to low gain NPN's (MPS3646) I...

    Greer Mizuki Blue (PPCB Blue Yonder Overdrive)

    Well they are different pedals. You definitely "need" to build both :p . They are reminiscent of each other but the Chop Shop can get a lot more gated and sputtery depending on the bias control. You can think of the Mizuki as a subset of what the Chop Shop can do. Having said that, I personally...

    That's what she said..... :ROFLMAO:

    This Week on the Breadboard: The Tush OD

    Hmmm, I might have a metal can 308 somewhere.... Yah for me, it's just small hands. He slides from the F to G with his thumb while doing the double stops in the key of G. I can do one or the other but not both. My beard must not be long enough......

    This Week on the Breadboard: The Tush OD

    Just put this together yesterday. Ok, so I was rather skeptical about this op amp clipping business. (About as skeptical as I was about CMOS clipping on the Frizzler.... :p ) All I can say is WOW, I've never heard op amp clipping sound like this. I'm not sure which "era" of Billy Gibbons this...
