    SMD JFET soldering Demystified

    Great vid and the line “The Brazilian accent is because I’m Brazilian” wins the internet for the day :)

    What amplifiers do you like for testing how a pedal design/modification sounds?

    Good point. HRD is the best selling amp on the planet. From my perspective I'm not selling pedals and I just need to see if the stuff I'm working or works and/or makes weird noises. That said the next up on my bench is the Maxon Compressor and am willing to go out on a limb and say it's one...

    MadBean Trash Compactor

    I don't have the stones to even try to replicate this one. James did all the wiring and no...its straight up raw wire. I'd finished the board and had drilled the enclosure and passed it on to James. Only to find out I'd whiffed on the jack placement. He turned a potential turd into artwork...

    Thumbucker Compressor (ValveWizard Engineers Thumb)

    I'm gonna have to dig this out of the pile and revisit. I remember being totally underwhelmed by this one. Need to find out what I screwed up. And make no mistake, I'm a compressor junkie.

    What amplifiers do you like for testing how a pedal design/modification sounds?

    I have this janky old Ampeg G100 that someone gave me. Needed all new electros but there's not much to these things except they're VERY neutral. It can also get uncomfortably loud. It's solid state but breaks up in a very pleasing way and I know what it sounds like so it's a good reference.

    Changing up tubes

    All amps in general. I must admit I haven't fiddled with preamp pedals outside of standards like the BK Butler Tube Driver.

    Changing up tubes

    Honestly I've always been underwhelmed with anything in the main stage(s) by anything other than a 12AX7. It always sounds like it's a bit winded and struggling, if that makes any sonic sense. Kinda sterile. Now obviously ymmv.

    AionFX StrayLight (Univox Univibe)

    Curious to see how this works out. I have mine facing the lamp with most of my different builds but maybe more random light and higher sensitivity? I've been close on builds but never seem to able to get the roundness of the original. My builds tend to sound more on-off-on-off. Or just too weak.

    RJ is one of those guys that could plug a garden rake into a toaster and get a good sound...

    What's on the workbench?

    I’m servicing an ancient Tube Driver and it was gooped on the backside of the board (??!!)

    Fulltone Robin Trower Overdrive (PPCB Tower)

    Thanks for this. Even as a lifelong fan I just assumed it was YATS.

    Orange OR15 Amp Issue

    Try using a short patch cord to connect the send and return on the loop. If that fixes it the shorting jacks are dirty or bent.

    This Week on the Breadboard: The Runoff Groove Thunderbird

    I really liked this circuit and used it for a while at low to medium gain but even then the noise was a bit much. Still you got the notion that the ROG folks were on to something here. I'll have to dig thru my bin to see if I still have the original. Honestly, I think I sold it.

    Trembling Satellite: "Pacific Loon Tremolo" (w/Gerber)

    Coolest sound on the planet. Many a night as a kid in Saskatchewan being lulled to sleep.

    Help with getting into home recording - what do I need?

    Curious to see where this goes. I use my rig mostly to learn tunes for the week but have had nice results with the Amplitube Axe I/O.

    What's on the workbench?

    Dammit, I can't believe I made the ultimate mistake. Well at least I can't accuse anyone else of being a goof.
