YES! That KB board is so beautiful! Can't wait for my package to show up! @cwsquared are you notifying people when you ship or will it randomly show up in my mail box? I have a box set aside with all the components I ordered last year for all my projects. Still blown away by this undertaking @cwsquared ! Amazing job

Oh man, that does look cool. No EU site, but Ebay has some third hand for 50€ and free shipping. I did see some negative comments on the Mike Herman Youtube vid, so maybe I'll hold off because warranty stuff would be pretty messy. Plus I just built an Abyss, I'll just fiddle more with that to sate my vibe-thirst (and probably another vibe in the future).

The initial batch where I actually took things to the post office, things were surprises for recipients. But now that I am using PirateShip to produce labels, I provide tracking info as I ship stuff.

Received some fantastic stuff from @PedalBuilder and @Barry recently - a "kinda sorta" trade since I had sent out some transistor sticker labels.
@PedalBuilder created a Deluxe Harmonic Percolator that I'm excited (and slightly nervous!) to jump into, and sent some sweet starter packs for a couple other builds I've been wanting to do. @Barry sent a plethora of pcbs, some Ge's, and silver micas - awesome!!
Think I'm pretty well setup for a few projects! Looks like I've neglected ICs, although I don't need lots... A handful of TC1044SCPAs, some LM386, one 40106 I think?... I'll probably need a couple 4558s at some point too. If anybody has piles of these I'm happy to send some labels or $ to ya!
Seems silly to place such a small Mouser order, but that's likely what I'll have to do. I've finally cracked the "Lament Configuration" that is their website... 
HUGE thanks as always to all of you!! The tips, guidance, and troubleshooting would be more than enough, but I truly appreciate the generosity as well. Hopefully I can offer more than silly transistor labels in the future! Ha... They have come in pretty handy, though:

Should have two of these coming in soon as well. When I thought I had a good collection of metal film going, I now need to hunt down 1/8W as well. I am rethinking the noise-on-a-budget that initially lured me into this forum... There's some funny business hiding beyond those lollipops folks here were waving around!

I love those early Mackie mixers, and not just because that's what I cut my teeth on.

FWIW I've now built at least two pedals (Hydra and Abyss) where I just used 1/4W stacked up. It's not hard at all IMO, although of course it's possible there could technically be some space considerations in some layouts... but I don't think anything is so cramped in reality that you couldn't use 1/4W resistors like that.

I'll give that a try!
Found these guts of a 20-years-old Fluke DMM. Its nicely laquered legs stand out! It's gonna be tedious to sleeve 100 resistors per board though. A little jar of laquer dip sounds appealing, and sort of fun!

I built a schumacher Spiralizer (which is pretty similar to the abyss, I think, based on my thinking through the circuit). I didn't know about the issues, but for $50 shipped, eh...worth it! Plus, you can never go wrong with more vibe and phase. I'll probably build a full transistor based Univibe eventually.

So my hands were NOT made for Bass guitar. Great for laying brick, and I've done THOUSANDS of those.
However, I have to use my pinky finger just to stretch TWO frets. I was resigned to just using my bass guitars as decorations and torture devices until I saw they make SMALLER bass guitars for reach deficit individuals such as myself !
AND and and and, it's going to be here Saturday!!!
I was getting ready to click on Place Order at Sweetwater when my screen redisplayed and it was OUT OF STOCK. Someone beat me to the punch by a second, lol. But, no sour grapes here, 'cuz Sweetwater always takes at least 6 days to get to me.

But it is something an idiot wrote, because I laid out the dang board with asymmetrical clipping, so I don't know where my mind was with that.

I built a shorter scale kit for my cousin's son when he was getting into bass guitar. I set it up, and it played well. Good weight, great feelSo my hands were NOT made for Bass guitar. Great for laying brick, and I've done THOUSANDS of those.

Now, my mom's Jazz Bass from the 70s: huge neck, heavy as a lead tank, sounds great!

Well, the Butter Roll vibe made it. First thing I did was tear it open. Look below, but ignore the broken jack (oops). Looks like a LM13700 phaser. Sounds good, but has some whining in the background. Probably bad power supply filtering or my bad power in this old house.
