What's on the workbench?

If you stop drinking coffee, you could cut 85% of all joy in this miserable life. I can't function without a minimum of two cups. When I used to smoke there was nothing better than a hot cup of coffee with my cigarette to level up my anxiety

Aw man. I’m from Italy so coffee was always very important to me. But I had to stop drinking it because of anxiety. I now have one decaf espresso per day and a cup of tea, which apparently doesn’t give me anxiety (even though it probably has the same amount of caffeine).

In the middle of shipping right now, but I snapped this one for you.

I'll get some better closeups with light (and the PCB removed) later this evening.

There's a bunch of opamps, a quad VCA, and obviously a microcontroller somewhere (probably the other side).

Now that’d be a hoot to bake. I figure without a stencil, I could pump out 3 maybe 4 before my expiration date.

I don't know what's on the other side of the board yet but so far the only component I see that might not have a through-hole equivalent is the quad VCA.

Nope, scratch that, there's a DIL-16 package available.

Just to let you know, by DIY law, you have to show me them EHX guts.

Where you from @Scruffie? USA, EU?

Much as I'd love to say EU still, unfortunately, the UK...

 

[Robert]

Ahh, well then it might not make as much sense, but I was going to say I can do one better than pics...

You're welcome to the pedal when I'm done with it. It might take me a little while to actually get it wrapped up though.

Got another pedal incoming today, yeehaaw! First person to guess what it is gets to be the first person to know what it is.

Is it that fancy overdrive that everyone is raving about on TGP?

 

[Robert]

Probably not. I believe this one appeals to the metal crowd.

You're joking about TGP right? Is there some new rave I'm unaware of? WHERE!?

yeehaw? It’s the Jed Clampett Millionaire Fuzz.

does guessing YATS count?

does guessing YATS count?

Count? It usually takes home the bacon.

Okay..I’ll behave now. It just comes on suddenly.

 

[Robert]

does guessing YATS count?

It could be. I don't know... We'll see.

It's another stupid priced limited edition... (Not THAT stupid, but still more than I'd pay for a keeper)

I haven’t been to that site in years, I really dislike threads that are “tell me about what to buy next”.

I wanted to say lessons every time but instead just stopped visiting.

Just go. Get on out of here.

That thing scares me.

I can't find the screenshot right now but I once saw someone say something like "this is the gear page, not the practice page"

 

[Robert]

Some of those guys have like $10K worth of pedals (yep, two of them) then you hear them play an its like.... jeeez.

I'm no John Bonomaster, but come on.

 

[Harry Klippton]

I can't play very well at all but it makes me happy
