    Unless I’m misreading this, it doesn’t seem to be an EAR/ITAR issue. This sounds like your order tripped a system flag for being a possible distributor (which would violate their terms with the manus). I’d be surprised if a phone call wouldn’t get this resolved quickly.

    Stuff you wanted to know but were afraid to ask

    I think it's the other way around, but that's maybe not entirely accurate. Switching and signal integrity (e.g., rise/fall, wave shape) are important features for both, but they deal with different types of signal information. Pulse diodes have higher peak voltage/current rating--which...

    Stuff you wanted to know but were afraid to ask

    Signal diodes (contrast with power/rectifying diodes). Fast response for high frequency, logic, etc. It’s just a subcategory.

    Your best and worst pedal hot takes? 🔥

    I feel like VFE brought the customization possible with DIY to non-DIY consumers with the 'bring everything to the front panel' approach. For retail pedals, this expanded classic circuits with more options (e.g., the one knob and one switch of the Small Clone is expanded substantially with the...

    Affinity Software - October 2025 Announcement

    My guess is a free tier that canva will have access to for their AI with a subscription pro tier.

    https://www.affinity.studio The applications are being collapsed into a single free program. Not very much clarity about data use or what future user-responsiveness will be like. Generally, free applications that aren't open-source are concerning.

    This Week on the Breadboard: The Fairfield ~900 Fuzz

    Yeah right you have a production pedal. You probably just used a pedalpcb schematic. What a joker.

    Jlcpcb and tariffs

    The tariffs put forth as responses to various “emergencies” are citing IEEPA, which lower courts said was an overreach. Those are still in place as the appeals process plays out. Oral arguments start on November 5th at SCOTUS. This latest tariff is said to be in response to trade practices...

    King of Tone: what would you do?

    I said flip it—but what I’d do in your situation is just pass altogether if I wasn’t interested. EDIT: I said explain in the comments. Scalping has basically ruined concerts, so participating in that would make me feel kinda gross. That being said, if you want to hang onto it and sell later...

    Should I expect to pay Tariffs on Tayda Orders?

    This is, I think, particularly vexing for US folks because we have never really had a consumer-facing, across the board federal consumption tax like this in recent memory. States/local authorities have sales tax (tax on top of eligible goods at point of purchase). Federal consumption taxes exist...

    As an aside, discord is the absolute worst platform for support forums. I’m really not sure why that has become the de facto tech product support platform. It’s not really intended for static reference and results in so much clutter and duplicative information. EDIT: I guess I can understand a...

    Affinity Software - October 2025 Announcement

    The licenses seem to be limited by platform now, right? A v3 release may very well be the case. A month with no indication of what’s happening while removing things like add-ons and the forum is not very consumer-forward—especially given the amount of concern raised with the canva acquisition...

    Yep. Let’s see if they hold to this: My patience is pretty non-existent with this kind of thing though. I’ll keep using the V2 software, but doubt anything else from them moving forward. EDIT: Wonder if they’ll change the name for anything non-licensed and subscription-based. Also, huge no if...
