NØTMÄKËMŰSIC

Didn't you even take up fishing after you stopped building pedals? At least i remember seeing a picture of you on a boat somewhere. Maybe you were sourcing diodes?
Anything not to play guitar 😀

Yah, I was on a pretty big fishing kick for a while there. But when my leukemia treatments started kicking my ass I had to pivot back to doing something less energetic. I've been building out my backlog of PCB's but have not been posting build reports or demo's. I keep thinking I'm going to do some "catch up" posts but so far it's eluded me.......

NO fishing, took up fly-tying instead...

You don't EVEN know how close to home you hit hahaha. I'm a bit of a fly tying junkie.

I see you got a lot on your lifebench at the moment. Sending you positive vibes from Krakow on a sunny Saturday, Michael.
 
Do you think this guy even bothered to check out the forum whilst he was here? I'm guessing he's a rank newbie that has likely never soldered, as to board quality of the dozens of boards I've soldered from here I've never lifted a trace and any issue I had was user error.
 
I had some issues in the past with desoldering. But desoldering just as soldering takes some skill. I guess 96,75 % of my soldering is quit good so there is no need to desolder. But even then: I learned to cut the components before desoldering.
 
I don’t even want to know how many pedal pcb builds i have built. I’ve lifted a pad on one of them. It was the 2u2 output cap on a glory hole. I was getting switch pop and couldnt figure out why and i probably soldered/desoldered that pad 15x before i did it.
 
I did a one day build today on a mach1 and after firing it up it has turned out to be a dud.... haven't messed with it yet to trace it... 99.9% says it's something I did... possibly how I ran a clipping switch.. who knows... lifted pads maybe.. lol Seriously..... Out of a couple hundred + pedalpcb boards I've built out I have managed to lift one pad.. and entirely because I removed a component and got as piece of wire stuck in the hole... kept heating and poking and bam.... jacked pad.... moved on with my life and ran a wire to fix it... Forgot to leave negative reviews because I made mistakes.. BRB
 
I used to use inches but just to distinguish a single from a Long Player. My ac30 is a 212 combo. But thats is about it.
But how about π? Do you use an American π?

I wouldn't approve it. I'm pretty sure this is just Jessie from 29 pedals, still butthurt that we didn't fall for his “elite unity amplifier.” :ROFLMAO:

I know you're joking, but there's no way a butthurt pedal designer would come up with "lifted pads" as the complaint for low quality. They would hit with something related to the circuits themselves - probably noise due to "bad layout" or some shit that is very hard to verify (not that anyone would actually say such things, nudge nudge wink wink). Everybody gets the PCB's from the same handful of places.
