Nope. I even ordered just the exact quantity I needed for a project (25 of each part) and I got 25 assembled boards out of it. They didn't drop any on the floor 🎯 Appartently you can even ship parts to them if you can't find them through any of the distributors they work with. I haven't tried...

I did. It's totally self-serve. https://jlcpcb.com/help/article/how-to-use-jlcpcb-global-sourcing-parts-service

You can play around with a hard clipper and soften it to your heart's content by simply adding a small resistor in series with the diodes on their way to ground. Just tweak and listen until it sounds right to you.

What I would probably do: - cut off the part's legs at the very top using an Xacto or utility knife (careful not to put too much pressure and end up cutting into the board) - pluck what's left of the pins, one by one, with tweezers and an iron. The idea is to do no harm to the PCB. - clean up...

...and the follow-up:

Brake pedal and gas pedal. Optionally a clutch.

Stickman, at least you, unlike most of us, know what will happen when you die :

Saw this on the way to work today. I mean, OK, they're French, but still?

I'm already upset I didn't win.

I should have mentioned that I build mostly just populated PCBs, not pedals, so it's easier for me to offer some simple customization, such as, for instance, no pin headers for those who prefer to solder their own wiring, or a different input Z that involves just swapping a resistor. Pedals are...

Not sure about Charlie Watts, but I measured 150 clean Canadian Watts per channel into 4 ohms with a 40V PSU, if it helps 😉

Well, it's 300 best-case watts. You could power it at much lower than max voltage and use a less bulky power supply that might even fit in the box along with the amp.

This one works great for me: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mrHCsM7 (I got the non-Bluetooth version).

Amp. 2x300W class D.

Hmm, a multicolor GR LED sounds interesting to me. Say, not lit =no GR, green =3dB, yellow=6dB, red >= 10dB. Something like that. With maybe some blue thrown in. Minimal footprint, lots of information.

I admire the small one-man-show builders who manage to make pedals and sell them into such a saturated market and somehow still pay themselves fairly for their work. I briefly made pedals and got out of it when I saw how much work they were -- even though they sold well at a price well above the...

I like to think of that cap as a placeholder, in case you want to replace it at some point with one that actually does something. Looks a bit prettier than an unpopulated footprint, I guess?? Depending who's looking.

I don't know if they're the same, but I recently bought the Amazon ones (Daiertek) and I like how they feel. Not too much force required, not overly clicky. No idea about longevity.

I've used ATTINY. Even if JLC doesn't have any of them as a basic part, as long as LCSC does, you're good. You'll just have to pay a $3 or so extra charge for loading the non-basic part spool on the pick and place machine.

I think the takeaway is that once a component gets p-h-u-c-k-e-d, it usually stays so.
