What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

[KR Sound]

I’m starting on the Bass Kliche with the values that @Chuck D. Bones set. I don’t have a few values on hand, so I made due with what I have. It’s kinda fun to calculate the parallel resistor values and land spot on the needed value!

I put this HM-2 together over the weekend as I wait for a big Tayda order to show up. I’ve always wanted to have something high gain to mess around with. I had to jury-rig some component values in this too, but it’s heavy metal

Loads of decals. I tried something outside the box today and need another go to get it right

Those resistor are having all the fun!

Well, I finished the Fuzzrite and it doesn't work properly. The second transistor doesn't do anything. Continuity checks out but there must be some crappy solder joints in there. At one point it worked so I know I haven't burned anything.
Truth is turrets require a powerful iron and my Pinecil struggles, even with the boost on it only reaches 45W. It's great for PCBs but I think turrets need more muscle.

You gotta hear this version, the bass player, Jerome Preston, KILLS it on vocals in a band of legends

I hate stripboard forever. I want to learn how to make PCBs just so I don't have to do this ever again.

Between the valleys of stripboard (Vero) and mountains of PCBs is the land of Perf, the magic circuit-wagon...

Different workbench…
Finishing my ceramics projects for my final crit tomorrow

No idea how perfboard works. Do I just use insulated wire to connect the pads?

Decals still

Bus wire, stripped hookup wire, or good ol fashioned solder bridge will do the trick

What's on my workbench? Flippin everything! I tend to not clean up until my project is done, but I should probably change that. I'm in the middle of putting together my BuddyBoard. You can see it on the top of the pile next to a populated breadboard.

I got a small batch of pcbs made of "Mictester's Buzzaround-Alike". I boxed up this first one with a low Hfe silicon transistor even though Mictester's design calls for germanium. But because he described how to compensate for a low leakage transistor I was curious how a silicon one would fare in it - and with spare boards and small parts count I wasn't worried about it sucking. Pretty blown away by it - but it's definitely best suited for a Ge transistor - the controls don't do a whole lot with just an Si transistor.

I'll do a proper build report when I do one with a Ge transistor but figured I'd share the progress in here

Wrapping up the Bass Kliché and will do a dedicated post with a demo. Sounds pretty awesome

I had some ‘avocado green’ ‘Extra Guacamole’ paint so I copied off of @MichaelW and his color scheme as I had the knobs already.

That's a cool color! Is that a rattle can?

It is, and I dig it too. My wife had this sitting around that she got from the craft store.

It actually laid down really nice in just a couple light coats.

Ooh mama.

How do to guys spray paint the enclosures? Two coats? How much time in between coats? Any extra layer to protect the paint?
Just curious cause I'd have to do it in my apartment/bedroom and there's no way it's safe

Don't you have a basement or an attic in your building?
