    Oh FFS. Pardon me, I'm going to go scream into a pillow.

    Jlcpcb and tariffs

    I'm loyal too due to the convenience, quality and price. I'd happily give that business to an American manufacturer if they could compete, but they simply can't. I don't expect this trade war crap to change that one bit because there is no plan at all to protect and preserve small businesses...

    I think this is my plan at this point. The de minimis is surely gone maybe forever but the current tariff rate is not going to last. We're just a couple months from empty shelves.

    Rumor mill is saying there will be some scaling back on the 145% soon. BigBox CEOs are giving the admin a riot act.

    Bc109b question

    The B is mid-gain, it appears. That tracks with other NPN that use A,B and C suffix. https://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=40871.0

    Blue tac alternative?

    I use it for soldering resistor/cap sockets and toggle switches in place. But, I remove it after soldering one joint. That's usually plenty enough to hold a part in place while soldering the remaining contacts.

    3mm LED vs 5mm LED for clipping diode

    It isn't. Unless I'm in the PedalPCB multiverse.

    Yeah, it turns out the 125% is on top of the existing 20%, I guess. Join tomorrow for another edition of dipshit bingo. I'm getting in a last minute order tomorrow to avoid the May 2nd tarriff bomb.

    Madbean Total Recall 2024 - Can't calibrate

    So good news/bad news. Good news is that (after replacing the chips I took off this build and doing a quick recalibrate) is that I've got no detectable clock noise at the delay output (after the compander) as was demonstrated in the sound clip earlier in the thread. So, this may come down to a...

    Yeah, I tend to agree. It doesn't have to have to get unnecessarily political other than maybe recognizing that this is a deliberate act of sabotage on the world economy (IMHO, anyway). It's not even unpredictable market forces. It's insidious. If that's going too far then I'll keep my mouth...

    DEMO MBP Current Lover 2023 (EHX Electric Mistress)

    I'll put in a good word for my buddies at L'Ectric FX: I haven't built the Old Chap but I have built several other of their projects and never been disappointed. The Current Lover is quite bright as far as flangers go, but I can't compare it to the Chap. The A/DA is it's own animal as mentioned...

    I think 8803 might be 34% now instead of 25%.

    I think the final maths is 54% total but I might be wrong.
