Is it contest time again?

[Fuzzonaut]

Riffs, chugs, notes, yawn.

It should be about pedals, so no instruments allowed, just pedals and amplification.

And cables. You may touch or lick your cable.

Bring on the noiz!

 

[drgonzo1969]

I second the Cable licking contest!

You want a chug contest?
Bring it
View attachment 98686

Everyone's gangsta until you bring a chug to a choo choo contest

@jcpst I think you just got called out.

 

[YourGuitarist]

Make a pedal where every time you strum it makes a train noise. The first ever choo choo breakdown.

Pick a circuit and the person who fits it onto the smallest PCB wins

An opposite DEFX contest?

An opposite DEFX contest?

Only condition is your build must include a 50mm LED

not sure if this has been done before:

a circuit design contest where all values have to be made up of either 1, 10, 100, 1K, 1M etc.

e.g. allowed values:
10p, 100p, 1n, 10n, 100n, 1u, 10u, 100u
1r, 10r, 100r, 1k, 10k, 100k, 1m, 10m

same goes for pots --> 1k, 10k ,100k ,1m

That's just a PITA.
17 resistors to bias a transistor stage.
Oops All Resistors!

 

[owlexifry]

That's just a PITA.

that's the point. it's a contest

Algolagnic HUT!

 

[jcpst]

Maybe like E3 (10 22 47)

 

[owlexifry]

Maybe like E3 (10 22 47)

seems too easy though

 

[ftumch]

Easy BOM though lol

I've drawn up a schematic for a Muff that has all 2s...2k2 22k 220k etc
So to get some targeted values I had to have like six 220ks in parallel, and two 220k in series to get 440k — closer to where a normal Muff would have 470k — etc.



Can't recall if the caps were like that...
Just checked, yup.


The only thing that doesn't really work for that build-theme are the POTS!





Meanwhile, back on topic...

CONTEST BY COMMITTEE

... continues.

ayy now that’s what i’m talkin about

well, with only x2 1M in parallel, that’s an easy 500k. close enough.
tone circuit might be a bit of a PITA though haha

I’m pretty sure I did this for one of Chuck’s contests a few years ago. Every component I used had the number 1 in it. It wasn’t a requirement, but I thought I would give myself a challenge.

Huh. I was right.

Are those component values a Djent song tab?
