That's quite an interesting question and deeper than I've ever asked myself. I can only imagine that there's no single factor (parameter) that would determine that. In as such, I went to AI and asked . . . . "An op amp begins distorting when the required output violates any of these: Vout >...

Opamps, by themselves, for the most part, have a rather large gain range which is primarily determined by the feedback resistance. In this case that would be P2. And note what JTex said in reply #21 about higher gains and headroom (clipping potential): "R2 can go as low as U1 can comfortably...

Nice! Thanks!

Good, clear photos of you work (PCB and wiring)????

Not a nice graphic like the one you show, but I found this chart on the Hammond site . . . . .

Thanks Feral! Yeah, that's a 1590X box. So it could've been oriented horizontally with the added vertical height. But not within a 1590XX enclosure.

A buffered reference voltage is (for instance) is using an opamp to secure said reference voltage. An unbuffered reference voltage has no guardian.

The DEFX "Pretty Tears" project is (IMO) pretty spectacular. Just finished building mine (didn't rock it before boxing it) and fired it up. Bypass works fine. But when I the engaged the pedal (the LED lit up - YAY!) it made no sound. WTH???? So I futzed with the knobs & switches and got nothing...

Mmmmmmm . . . . . . Mary Halvorson patches . . . . . . Where can I find some more of them? (Are they found only on the Red Panda 'Particle' pedal she uses?) The one you posted previously is delicious! As far as programming other DSPs goes, I figger I'll be sticking with the FV-1, SpinCAD...

Surprisingly, I was able to talk ChatGPT into inspecting a couple of SpinASM files generated from the newest release of SpinCAD Designer and it actually spit back out useable SpinCad Designer files. I told it (ChatGPT) to look at some of the older versions of SpinCAD files so it would know the...

Just got a set of DT71 Digital Tweezers. Anyone seen/heard of or use these?

Only when a build calls for an optional battery.

Nice work!

The new 'Adjustable Reverb' block is truly a thing of beauty! I'd much rather futz with that interface than ask an AI to generate it.

When ya gotta have your electrolytes . . . .

I've signed up in your email list and am interested in some form of contribution. I just don't know where/how to start.

IMO: Typical breadboards have no ground plane, and with no large ground surface to capture stray emissions, breadboards are notorious for noise with dirt circuits. Double dirt circuits will often quiet down once enclosed in a properly grounded enclosure. How does the Acapulco Gold do when the...

Thanks! It's one of my three favorite acoustics.

Here's the complete journal I wrote up about it . . . . . ***WARNING*** (long read - but there is circuit porn towards the bottom) After a long bit of planning, analyzing and researching what a "Big Muff" is, I finally got around to completing my rendition of a BMP based on Barry's "Muff'N"...
