Stompbox and GuitarPedalParts arrived today. I’ve been wanting to try out These knobs for a while and they don’t disappoint. Wish the red and silver ones were in stock. Tayda and Mouser due tomorrow and then once the cabin tech chips show up it will be Delay making time 
I really dislike ordering just one chip, but GPP was the only place that had them so I picked up a carling heavy duty switch. Thing is burley.

That sucks. Did you call to protest the fee or just eat it?
So far the only odd fees I have, knock on wood, experienced are some currency conversion fees with PayPal. Nothing on the order of the shipping gouging going here. Since everybody is showing off their MBP sale purchases, mine just arrived today:
Sludgehammer and a glitchee. Will probably work up the Glitchee first. Have ideas of adding one of the power amp modules to the sludgehammer and making a small bass amp.

Nah it was like $6. More annoying than anything else

Yeah, Xvive has been really short of 3007s for a long while. We have a standing order for whenever they get some made. Hopefully soon!Been Out Of Stock for awhile with the MN3007.

Indeed I do love Love My Switches, because Lawrence
POSTAL!
*A*
I contemplated that, feed the 1/4 out from Space heater(any tube pedal really)with a 12au7/ecc81 to 'hammer and then I have this Oz made 60amp power board I have needing just a 25VAC CT transformer to be fed from the xlr/trs out of sludge, be a pedal board contained amp with actual bite
. Tomorrow should be the missing resistors and caps from Digi-Key and SBP for my latest 2 projects, along with some foot switches..Paypal said somethign in a recent email that in and out from US between personal and biz accounts was to be no more, unless the backlash hurt(wouldn't be surprised it was the fee crap or real dumb political BS I won't contemplate further...)and yep, slo boat or Fedex from Tayda for me, and I make sure nobody else has it 1st!

Two separate deliveries from PPCB collected today: some top jack faceplates, Obsidius, Trembling Loon, Deflector, Unison, and Stereo Harmonic Tremolo. Still waiting for the Spin chips (ordered elsewhere before Robert starting offering them again) and the electron microscope for seeing the colour bands on the 1/8W resistors. Looks like a busy weekend ahead …

Many thanks to @Dan0h for a really nice white sand GØRVA box AND..a TAD premium 12AU7. My goal, use them together somehow....well, other than using the enclosure to house the tube. I mean something audibly appealing...something........something totally tubular as never never before seen by the nakedness of your eye, or heard by the eeriness of your earhole. To the laboratory!

My Pinecil V2 has finally arrived. It "only" took 6 weeks from China to Krakow.
I've only tinned the tips but haven't soldered anything yet.
With a 65W, 20V 3A PD power brick, it reaches 350C in 10 seconds. With the new shorter, lower impedance tip it's even faster (but it's conical so it's useless). My previous station took at least 5 minutes to reach the same temp and cleaning the tip on a wet sponge made the temperature drop to Cthulhu abyss depths. The Pinecil instead is absolutely SPONGEWORTHY!
I also got the silicone USB cable, the ridiculous stand, replacement contacts and the fine tips set so I can use the small hoof type as my main tip. The knife tip will be useful for larger components. I wish they made a D16 as well, a small chisel tip is perfect for PCB work. I think I'll buy the other shorter tips when they become available.
Hopefully now I'll stop making questionable solder joints.

So I've mentioned my chronic back pain here before, it's... whatever... but it but I've dealt for 13 yrs. A few months ago, I absolutely trashed my back moving an Ampeg ba500 combo so my wife, who is a saint, demanded that I go buy a fancy lightweight cab. I landed on this Barefaced Super Twin. It'll get paired with an ampeg pf500 I keep as a backup so I can now leave my combo at the main rehearsal space, my exhausted 410 at my secondary band practice space and only move the head until I can afford to upgrade that too. Considering a quilter 800 watter right now since I've been building a bunch of pre pedals I dont think I'd even use the pre in something like a mesa anymore. Gotta try some stuff with the new situation. Woooo!
The tragedy? I don't have a head at my house at the moment. Just my blues deluxe and my unicab/headphone amp...

I'm probably late to the party, but what in the Fig's Friendly Robot Company are all the relays and microchips for? Surely, something epic...It was a big delivery day..
MPLab, relays, PIC12s and PIC16s
MN3007s,3008s,3009s,MN3101s PF5102s,OPA2134s,LTC1044 (trying these out), and a big honking PT2395...
...and my Ghost Drive, WITH adorable ghost transfer

On a side note, it's cool that PedalPCB designed these PCBs for StewMac. I didn't realize that @Robert was doing their board layouts. I'd read somewhere that he designed the most recent boards for the Klein-u-lator (a solid-state Dumble-a-tor effects loop) and thought those looked totally awesome too!
*Edit: I said that PedalPCB "designed" these boards, but it appears that these boards may just be whitelabeled for StewMac because the layout looks identical to the existing Kliche board (https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/kliche/). Still cool, nonetheless.
