    Whiter-than-white Noise project

    Hi everyone. Long time, no see. But I have only now got my soldering bench back in place after more than 6 months of medical and construction hell. I'mma cut to the chase: I need to make an ultrasonic white noise speaker system, omnidirectional as can be and with a frequency range of maybe...

    This is why I don't trace circuits from photos

    I can tell it's fake because there's no trim pot to dial in that transistor bias

    Ungula Fuzz for Bass Guitar

    Sweet. I may breadboard this if/when I get a bass again

    Going off the SMDeep End

    Hold on there, Babalooey, who said anything about well-laid-out? I get things in a pretty grid and hit "auto route." Also, what's "dead bug style?"

    Going off the SMDeep End

    I saw a bunch of videos online where people are making fancy temperature controllers to follow a reflow profile. Are you saying that's BS and I just need to time or watch it?

    Random pix

    From the day job. We're demonstrating how you can measure the vibration modes of a vehicle using our laser-robots.

    What's on the workbench?

    beginning to wonder if I'm the only one here who's never had a tube amp

    Promethium Filter Question

    Yeah, I could see that R16, C8, and R18 are all going to the inverting side of the TL072 op amp. This makes that stage an active inverting high pass filter. Although, I think it's actually technically a bandpass filter because of C9 being there too. This is more advanced than the rudimentary...

    Where the bass players at?

    I played bass here and there from 2006 to 2020. I really treated it like a melodic instrument and never practiced keeping a beat. I had a Bass Pod XT and that was it. I do know that you need a good blend of mic and DI but that's it. I had just discovered flatwound when I decided to say screw...

    Going off the SMDeep End

    That's interesting. Why go with different sizes of resistors and caps, I wonder?

    Going off the SMDeep End

    Guys, I was converting a schematic to a pcb layout yesterday, and I was thinking about how neat/easy it would be to just have everything be SMD. I did have to solder up some mic signal conditioning boards for my grad school research, and while it was tricky at first, I do remember eventually...

    Help with an ampless rig build

    I am currently an Iridium user. I really love it so far. I start most overdriven/distorted pedal chain sounds on the Punch (Plexi model) and I start slowly increasing the gain from zero. At some point it hits a sweet spot and that's my tone sorted.

    Viceroy SMD JFETs

    Heads up, I just ordered some 5457s from DigiKey yesterday

    Duocast

    Man, I've always wanted to try screenprinting. Seems like a real money pit to get started, though. I even have a DIY UV fluorescent bank that I made years ago for alternative photographic processes.

    Another J201 Thread

    I am thinking about getting a bunch of those adapter boards and doing some SMD soldering again. Last time I tried it, it was a pain in the ass but that was maybe 10 years ago?

    Missing Build Docs / Schematics

    I'm curious what the update is/was, because I have a previous version on my HD

    I need a new workbench. Recommendations?

    It's kind of TBD. I had a few bookshelves that were in there but are probably staying in the other room. I'll guess 3 to 4 feet?

    I need a new workbench. Recommendations?

    So, I have been using an Ikea IVAR monstrous combination desk and bookshelf. I would really like a dedicated workbench so I can have my desk separate and work on my laptop stuff there, including (hopefully) music production. You know what I'm looking for: a nice open area to solder, storage...

    Paragon Mod

    Just a heads up... I tried this mod, and for some reason, when I switch from 18V to 9V, capacitor C10 starts to smoke. (double checked the polarity and the power rating.)
