What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

[Feral Feline]

I've seen those capacitors on some Chinese pre-populated clones of Fuzzdog boards, or at least knockoffs of those caps on Chinese pre-populated Fuzzdog clones (IIRC, the boards I have {2 or 3}, the caps are much brighter, almost neon-orange).

why didn't I check that before starting out? who knows

This box is slowly but surely turning into Thrak! Very glad to see this, J - fuzz on, brother!

When you're on the spectrum and have to mask, every day is Halloween.

Drilled, punched, and backfilled. Gonna let the enamel set before sanding it back

And, a Fornicus. Digging it, but I'm gonna mess with D1/ D2 a bit before boxing it

aw cheers - I'm afraid not. We will have a backwards gain knob! (making a version of jptr jive, which is essentially a SHO with some common mods)

Current projects…come on Tayda, Small Bear, Aion, and Mouser
Edit: add CabinTech to above list. First time ordering from them, and with some upcoming projects, for sure not the last.

Those caps are interesting. What brand are those? I don’t think I’ve seen them before.

They were given to me so I can't be sure, but I think @Feral Feline is right. I've had Spragues that are a similar color, but with entirely different markings. They all measure well within spec (with most going a smidge over) and I think they look kinda cool, which is the most important thing

I like cool caps and I cannot lie

Yeah, ones backwards. It was late...

Ooooh shit, I gotta do a THRAK pedal!

 

[Cybercow]

Pedal building can be a meditative thing whilst convalescing. The Pretty Tears build has come along nicely and had to alter the artwork after doing a test graphics fit on the drilled enclosure. Had to move the jack labels to the sides. Full build report by the end of the week I imagine.

Yeah
But way quieter than those 500V beans everyone else uses.

Just finished soldering this up, I need to to source some different electrolytic caps since these are a couple mil too tall, I will drill the enclosure when I get the new caps.

I had set this machine aside in December and I guess I forgot to reconnect a ground lug to the transport. That wasn't a pleasant noise

Not just easier to get a higher enclosure?
