    I'm out of 2n5089'a for the squidward. What characterisics am I looking for in a possible substitue? I have some S series(ex: s8550), A series(ex: a1015), as well as alot of BC 109,108(a,b,c), 2n2222(metal can), and bc183s. Maybe I should be patient and wait for the order of the 89s? Thanks

    Amazon "Electronic component assortment"

    A year or so back I acquired one of those general electronics packages off of amazon (resistors, caps,etc). On the list of whats inside it notes a bunch of trannys, at the bottom it says Germanium PNP x2. I was sorting through the lot of 100 Russian transistors that just came in the mail and...

    Tayda Fuzz Face PCB

    Bought one of these out of impuse and I am now throwing it together. I bought a lot of MP42B, and MP16 transistors from Sovcom(alexer1) on ebay, most of which are 40-60 HFE on the TC-1 tester, a couple between 75-110. While it may not be ideal has anyone messed with using the lower values for FF...

    Quick question(led)

    Still really green when it comes to effects Quick question(s): 1: Is that indeed true, that all I need to do is jump the main pads "A" to "K" to utilize the daughter board's LED pads? 2: I have not put a LED in yet, but should I be seeing 9v at all times? effect on and in bypass? doesn't 9 seem...

    Ge transistors

    Recently picked up a lot of Germanium MP42B's(AC128/OC75) as well as MP16B"s(2N404). I am almost done sorting though them, about 90 out of 200 or so have a HFE between 40-60 as well as leak being okay. I'm new to pedal building so I'm still learning, is there any suggested use for these? any...

    Enclosure Drilling

    First time posting here. When it comes to any project, getting holes drilled and graphics are a struggle for me. Im still an apprentice when it comes to the pedal game. Does anyone have some advice? I think that the best(easiest) way to tackle it would be CAD, then chuck it up in the CNC... at...
