What's on the workbench?

[Feral Feline]

When I find something I can't remember why it was ordered, I do a quick search of my computer's hard-drive for that item.
For instance, I might type in 2SK208 and the Low Tide comes up, but also AMT SS-11a and the Boss ME-33. Makes for some interesting info-discovery from time to time.

Key-word searches online sometimes work, but often you get too much unrelated garbage.

I do a similar thing by going into Outlook (email) & type in the Search column it tells me the dates when I purchased a part.
I can cross reference with a PCB or Graphic that I ordered or drew up!
I also use it to reorder the same part numbers for components.

Well hello there! How far away is this guy? One of my must-haves! I was going to get a board from another manufacturer but would rather get one from here.

I might be wrong, but I don't think the board offered by any of the other guys is exactly the same as the MXR. I believe those are JFET adaptations of the amp schematic.... This is (quite) a bit different. This has opamps, and more opamps, and what's that? Oh.... more opamps.

Not saying that's better or worse, just not the same.

(If there IS a schematic of this thing already floating around I'd love to see it, it could sure save me some time)

It's going to be a little while, that circuit is rather complicated, but I did crack it open a few days ago to put it in queue.

Re: NG-3™

If I build one, I will call it "The Serial OD" because it seems so important on that gooped one.

How’re you getting in there without breaking the seal? You’re inviting some Indians Jones type curse upon yourself if you’re not careful…

I had thought the PCB Guitar Mania offering was a copy of this pedal, but you're right, it's a preamp based on the head.

I'm in no hurry, I have more projects on the go than I can poke a stick at. I am glad to hear that it's in the queue though

Nice, plans for the new PCB to have the integrated buffer, like the Semi-Sweet update?

Without breakin the what? I'll smack that bastard with a sledge hammer if that's what it takes.

Seriously though, the seals are gone, didn't even give it a second thought.

What's the gooping/seals on the NG-3? Google image search is no help rn

There’s a ‘warrantee’ sticker on (many?) Cornish pedals to prevent removing the back plate.

Yes but anyone looking to trace a pedal isn't worried about a Warranty

That was the joke :-/

 

[Robert]

The warranty is two years, non transferrable... considering the superior build quality I wouldn't expect any failures within that period.

Yep, I was just joking as well, the stickers were still intact a few hours ago.

 

[Feral Feline]

What !?

No memes?
But so many to choose from...

Anyway, it bodes well for my growing "Kernow" line of pedals...

 

[Robert]

Woaaaah we're half way there. Wooooaaah the goop is off of there.

We got a plan, and we'll trace it I swear.

Well Well I say Son, that Goop must have been stuck on good, It's darn ripped of a complete layer of the Board!!!

This will probably all fit in a 1590b with a standard 2 layer PCB.

Feral's hopin' this dirt'll soon be in stock
Now stuck in his head's a riff with a box that talks
So rough, it's rough...

Can confirm the pcb guitar mania is NOT the mxr 5150. Theres not much gain to it.

the mxr 5150 is the teeeeets. So is the diamondhead. That was a complete shock- i got it on a whim for cheap and blew me away. The demos online just havent done it justice. Maybe wes hauch’s. But still didnt sound like what it can do.
