    Tube amp people Q input cap value C2C Wrecking ball

    I'm wanting to add a tight switch to the C2C wrecking ball, which seems to mostly mirror the mesa triple rec input. It seems the input stage is wide open 22n and 2M2 form a HPF at ~3Hz. Am I missing something? Would it be wrong to have one of the three positions at ~600-800pF for a 90-120 Hz...

    Illustrator to tayda drill template for cuttouts- tips, tricks or shortcuts?

    Looking to do some custom cutouts for some C2C projects. Any illustrator wunderkind 's have any tips to easily extract cutout points from illustrator? The only way I can figure to do it for more complex shapes seems extremely tedious. Thought about asking an AI to assist but I'd rather not...

    Breadboard DMM thingy?

    Ordered a couple of these to fool with https://a.aliexpress.com/_mtRbUDN Would be cool to have these mounted to a PCB with pins to insert into a breadboard (maybe 2 pins for each rail for stability) and a connection point for a DuPont wire. Would make for simple bias reading on a BB. Bonus...

    Gigahearts FX MICRO SQUARE fuzz

    Finally wrapped this thing up. I made it more complicated with the wiring and somehow square pegged the round hole with the LED. Doh! This is a fuzz circuit based on the fuzz portion of EHX Micro synth XO graciously bestowed upon me by @LaceSensor aka Gigahearts FX via the madbean forum. It does...

    Need a circuit: Amplitude modulated squarewave

    I have a dumb idea for a dumb circuit but need some help. Anyone have a circuit snippet that can generate a binary/squarewave 5v who's pulse frequency and perhaps pulse width is modulated based on an AC input(guitar) signal. I.E., when you play loud, the frequency modulates faster and decreases...

    Pyrite Ge Fuzz -- or, An Ode to Solder -- or JWin freakin finished something

    Fu..in @Ginsly made me build something. And finish it. But first, this build is sponsored by ChipQwik. Anyway, The build: Easy layout via @PedalBuilder. I used 3 house/MIL/possibly random numbered Moto Germs that measured 42/52/72 in Q1/2/3. No measurable leakage Evee en when heated. Nichicon...

    PSA: DCA75 battery

    RTFM This dummy assumed the DCA75 had a lithium battery. Nope. If you're gettery battery low errors, it will skew the measurements, a lot. Manual says swap the battery once a year. Within the case is a single ~1.6V warrior. If you notice the screen dimming or odd behavior, don't wait for the...

    Stereo channel isolation of fv-1? Isolated instructions for L and R channels?

    Pondering some ideas and can't find the answer to th3 following curiosities. 1)does/can the FV1 operate in isolated dual mono? I.e., can a signal flow from LIN -> LOUT -> RIN ->ROUT without creating a feedback loop internal to the FV1? 1b) if so, what's the best practice to accomplish this...

    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...

    Revel no 9v on IC1?

    Limited building time lately +working on learning illustrator and etching has lowered my output. I swear, since I started etching it's been a curse. 1 etched pedal has worked properly. Anyway. I have a Revel that isn't getting 9v on IC1. Just nada. LED IC2 are getting 9V. Vref correct on IC2...

    Mini paint booth setup?

    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...

    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...

    New? Belton modules (bricks)? 99fx and ABE

    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. Little Bear has them in stock with the 99 being $40. That's a lot of bang for buck! And, it has several reverse reverb programs! Mono in, stereo out...
