Vactrols from ali express? These can’t be “good”

[Locrian99]

Anyone actually tried any of the vactrols on ali express. First thought is they have to be crap, has anyone tried?

I have a bag of them but haven't built anything with them. A week earlier and I would have sent you one. Let look legit. I'm guessing they're likely bad batches that aren't within spec but it may be a case where whoever was contracted to make them for xvive or whomever just kept making them.

lol yea Im thinking I’ll order some and a couple of the xvive ones from sbp. Now that electric druid has opened up shipping to the us again going to be messing with the taplfo3d chips for some tremolos. Do some comparing. Thx again for the germs doing a but of house keeping in my music room today but hoping to get them on a breadboard soon to nail down that project before I layout the pcb

Pretty sure I have a few legit xvives somewhere. Can do a breadboard comparison at some point. But they are so cheap, they're worth a shot I think.
