Hey guys, I have a few questions about germanium transistors. I have never worked with germanium transistors before and was wondering if some of you could help me out with a few questions. Any help would be greatly appreciated. First, should I solder them or socket them? If I solder them, what's...

A long time ago I started and finished this build. I have finally gotten around to making a build report. It's the El Sol which is the EQD acapulo gold. I got to say I actually quite like the way it sounds. The only downside is it starts to oscillate after sustaining for a while and that is...

Do you want to go to McDonald's or in Burger King? ". The ability to choose the answer creates in children the illusion of control, but in reality the situation is controlled by parents that limit the selection of McDonald's restaurants and Burger King. Sellers constantly use questions with...

Here are some photos so ye can appreciate thy craftsmanship of yesteryear.

For a few weeks now, I have been looking at synths, particularly modular and semi modular. I got to thinking, what if someone made a guitar pedal or rack mount effect that had very useful patch points? Maybe patches like preamp out and in, eq out and in, stuff like that. These patches maybe...

Bass with built in bottle opener!

I just wanted some info on transistors in fuzz pedals. I know nothing about the gain you want or matching transistors or stuff like that. If someone could give me a complete rundown of transistors in fuzz pedals, I would appreciate it greatly.

I know that the 45580 number is one of the tube screamer ICs, but what are the values below that? Would they be useful for pedal building?

Have a few questions. First, can anyone date this thing? I tried to take good photos! Second, any good mods? I know Chuck knows some, and I would be grateful if he elaborated. Third, how to get rid of that annoying squeak? That's all the questions I got. Sorry the photos won't pop up normally...

What things make a pedal look more professional, on both the inside and outside?

I am looking for a good preamp for use in a solid-state class d amp build. It needs to have good clean headroom, and not distort to easily. Amp like would be good, but as long as it sounds good, then I don't care! I don't have very many specific preferences for amps, because I only have 2, and...
