    Need some transistor testing mansplaining

    so I watched a recent video about curve tracing germanium transistors to get a better idea of a closer HFE and leakage than just throwing them in the dca75 and hitting the go button.. which is what i've been doing and have gotten lucky most of my builds.... I attached two pics of the same...

    Electrovibe build report… Mmmhmm

    This is my second build of this PCB… Man I love these… Fairly straightforward and did the resistor changes to help with volume drop… Worked out perfect again. No issues and adjusted trimmers by eye… just getting the bulb in that sweet spot to pulse brightly and fade just right.

    Byzantium? Pin headers?

    Can someone point me in the direction to what type of headers to by for stacking the Byzantium flanger? I’ve never bought pin headers before… only single dip sockets for trannies and such… no idea what to buy.. assortment kit on Amazon looks like it doesn’t have pins… just an empty connector?

    Byrdhouse Compressor Report

    Built a squish box for someone… I’ve never been a fan of compression so I cant be a good judge for tone on them but I can tell it’s doing what it’s supposed to do.. Attack turned up you can really hear it go after the strike of the strings and squish it… Couldn’t tell much with the trimmer...

    Mach1 build report “Hyperdrive”

    Put it into hyperdrive Chewy… Sweet little build for a friend. Went with the TL072 because I didn’t have any of the spec’s IC chips. Man I think this one turned out great.. other than the sub IC everything else was built to the docs. Sounds great for a light overdrive. I see why a lot of...

    Identify Nuetrik Jack

    Took in a pedal to repair for a guy… Digitech whammy with a busted input jack… got it desoldered and it appears to be a stereo jack but it only has 5 pcb pins instead of 6… all I can find are 6 pin jacks on Nuetrik website? Anyone know what I can substitute ?
