What's on the workbench?

[Big Monk]

Yep, truth is, without masking the inside the spring still might not work.

It'd be just my luck to get 500 enclosures all with powder right where the spring contact hits.....

EXACTLY.

That’s why I pay for drilling and finishing and masking.

My business model is I’ve got maybe 15 hours extra time, onesey twosey like, in the week. I have a real job so I need enclosures to be assembly ready for me or else my business model hits the skids.

The few extra duckets for an enclosure ready to rock is worth it for me because if I had to do any of those steps I couldn’t make things work.

Oh, as promised.

Did they drag an iron across the box caps or what? That's hilarious if they're trying to obscure the values — why not paint-marker the resistors, too, and hide all the colour-coding.

Side jacks, and there's enough space left over for a Black Jack table, and a back room with hookers. Well forget the blackjack, and the hookers...

Ahh just goop the whole thing.

Yep, it's an OKKO thing and not the first time I've seen it.

I don't understand the goal here... are people out there really attempting to trace pedals who don't own a DMM?

Musikding might have an outdated PCB... I don't have the layouts in front of me on this PC so I can't say if Rev 2 is the absolute newest revision. Let me look into this and try to make sense out of it. There has been a lot of debate on multiple forums about the orientation of that capacitor...

Maybe they get their parts from “Bob’s discount mystery capacitors (only slightly burned by soldering iron)”. They have good prices over there.

Hot off the press....

I can't stop thinking about how there's an Amazon brand of pedals called kokko

Hey buddy requests go in the wishlist forum.

Clear enough?

Yall laugh but someone is going to get it wrong.

"You know how hard it was to solder that damned thing in the dark!?"

I had a guy email me mad as hell a couple years ago because I forgot the EEPROM in his order... and I also included some unlabeled 8-pin IC he didn't order.

Finally, I can box up all my 45s!

That rotary switch adapter is rad!
Trying to figure out what circuit that could be— no bbds or cmos… 3 (or 2) position rotary, two footswitches, and 4 knobs…
i’m drawing a blank

Is that a charge pump in there ?

Looks like a charge pump, two dual op amps, and a JFET

The rotary switch is an order switch, just because I wanted to be quirky...

(And couldn't find a happy place for a toggle switch like the original)


Also just realized I Rushed and forgot to order parts for the thing.... Think it's bad when you forget one part? Imagine forgetting the parts for a whole damned pedal....
