Polonium 2

You guys ever hear of the Cornish buffer? Just kidding. I just got done reading an interesting thread on this forum right after I finished my build for the Polonium 2 (Cornish P2).

Anyway, this one surprised me of how much I like it. I built the Aion Cygnus and I just wasn't feeling it. So, I didn't have high expectations. But the P2 is much more my shit. I love me some Muff and this is a cool take on it. It doesn't sound muddy or flabby. It's got some nice crispness. I dig it.

The build wasn't bad. A lot of parts and I had to fanagle the wiring with the daughter board with the buffer switch. But not too bad.

Awesome build... honestly my favorite Cornish pedal, and one of my favorite BMP varieties overall...

This stuff* might work:

WonderMASK P is a temporary, peel-able solder mask comprised of a thixotropic, synthetic acrylic latex designed to withstand fluxing, wave soldering and cleaning operations.

Mouser part # 577-2211-54G

54 Gallon, $6003.95

Here's the Wondermask datasheet.



*Yes, you can get epoxy-goop from mouser...

I was wondering about that 3pdt buffer bypass board and didn't know where to use it.

Really sorry @VanWhy — your Polonium2 is such a solid build, and here we are miring your thread in gobs of goop.

I started it, it's all my fault.

No worries. It's hilarious. With the way I started the report, I was expecting to get some jokes. I regret not mentioning the goop in the report haha. IAIGF
