    SOLVED Help!!! I can't figure this out!

    Last Tuesday I built a Tayda cart full of metal DC jacks and 1000V caps. Then, it entirely disappeared only later to come back the same, but different. Now, the tarrifs keep turning off and on again at random. I checked my values. I think they're good but who really knows anymore. Already made...

    For us neanderthals still using rattle cans and clear coats... I can paint in my basement year round but my method of painting inside of a computer monitor box and quickly shutting the lid isn't really cutting it. Does anyone have a mini paint booth setup they would care to share? I'm looking...

    Isosceles bass/treble barely work¿

    Alright, been a while since I asked for help. I know I should only hear BnT in Pre mode. Both switches are good. I've checked all values while sober. Don't get it. I only hear a minimal adjustment. Am I missing something in operation?

    RAT - What's with these filters?

    Been playing with the RAT. Never really paid it a ton of attention because I found in nasal but thought I could toy with the filters and find my RAT. Well, WTF is going on here? So, R4-C4 create a filter for dogs. I've found some old RAT traces that actually have C4 as 10n. 16K makes a lot...

    Importing/scaling PCB in Illustrator

    On a recent illustrator session, I imported the pcb from a PPCB build doc to check for clearance and it didn't scale properly. It was ~2x it's actual size compared to the drill pattern. Is this Robert's fault or did I do something wrong? Is there a simple way to scale it properly?(And...

    This is my DOOMSTICK!

    Alright you primitive screwheads... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐(With proper transitor selection) Still working on the etching process and learning more Illustrator but figured this was good enough to use. The etch was shallow(eBay etchant is too weak, stronger stuff coming) and I ended up sanding trough the paint...

    Anyone using a Brother to etch?(Monochrome printer)

    Anyone here using a Brother monochrome for toner transfers for etching? I fought mine for an hour and a half today trying to get a good print on adhesive backer paper. Finally got a decent one by printing in the center of the page. I think my drum needs replaced at this point. The wife is a...

    Anyone eye called the new(to me anyway) Belton offerings? -The fx16/32/99 are multi effects modules. The # indicating the number of fx programs.

    US source for germanium

    Stumbled across this site today. Mzentertainment.com May be of use to those just getting into germanium. Has some gain tested pairs as well. Says they're tested for leakage but doesn't post leakage... Not bargain bins prices but not pedalhacker prices either. Anyway, hope it helps someone out...

    ~$22 oscilloscope option - Openscope MZ

    I don't have any experience with this, instead hunting for an Analog Discovery 2/3 but came across this this morning. Curious if anyone has tried one. May be a good alternative to the little handheld chinesium scopes for those looking for a very basic scope on a budget. It's a peripheral 2...

    DIY or cheap onboard buffer opinions?

    Have a friend who's been on hard times and needs a loaner guitar. I have a late 90s MIJ Jackson Dinky that's beat all to hell and one of the emgs or it's electronics are shot. But the neck is straight and it intonates fine. No tears over the emgs. I don't care for emgs. I'm going to outfit some...

    KiCad v8 released

    Figured I'd start a thread since I hadn't seen any discussion. KiCad 8 came out a few days ago. Quickly browsing over the new features there seem to be a few useful ones. -FFT simulation output is a big one for designers! -native BOM export with savable templates -graphic shapes are now assigned...

    Noise problem in Ibby Bass?

    Went to final test my madbean boomboom/brassmaster build last weekend and my bass is suddenly squirrelly. Radio stations always and noise whenever anything grounded is touched. Signal still present. It's a modded Ibanez SGR505 or 525, can't remember, with a Dark glass tone capsule preamp swapped...

    Kewpie/3 pot 3 switch/6 knob Tayda Drill template?

    Anyone have a link for a drill tool layout that matches the Kewpie? Or a 6 knob layout that I can modify hole diameters? (I assume they're all standard spacing, just diameter differences?) Sorry if this is blatantly obvious somewhere on the forum. I'm one of those can't find the mustard in the...

    Solderless transistor auditioning

    Yeah. I know. It's called a bread board. Typical engineer trying to find a solution to a problem no one complained about, I had a stroke or a stroke of genius. Not sure which. Basically, grab some long male on male headers and some female on female Dupont wires. Snip a 3 pole piece of header off...
