Why Did I Buy This Vol. 1

[PapaBear]

It would be pretty on brand for me to have bought em just cuz I read somewhere they're common and interchangeable too. I'm trying to work towards cataloging my stuff better (started with the pcbs). Guess I'll have to start making notes when I add something to a cart cuz obviously by the time it shows up, I've forgotten

Must have been a deal on them somewhere, because I got a handful and no idea why either

I wish Barry, I JUST ordered em and can't remember why

Well, if makes you feel any better, I got handfuls of lots of stuff I have no idea what I bought it for or didn't know what I was doing when I bought em

I just received a "surprise bits box" or whatever Electronic Goldmine calls it.

Note to self: if you get random-bits boxes, get them from PEDAL-BUILD suppliers ONLY.

My part like this is the LM324. I have them from a couple of different vendors and have forgotten why I ordered them. I've had them for a few years now, so, sorry Will, you may never know

I got in the bad habit of always ordering extras of everything with each order thinking I could just vero a ton of awesome pedals….. and now I have a huge tote bin full of stuff I have no idea what to do with. I’m sure a lot of us are in that same boat. Maybe in 20 years I’ll get around to using all these spares.

Google said those Ic’s are good drop ins for Od 250’s did you ever plan on building some of those?

Why did I buy 100 B500Ω solder-lug pots?

Fig’s ballin over here buying 100 pots at a time!
I’m like “should I splurge and get 5 A25K pots when o only need 3” haha

Mine is the 3mm photodiode that I have around 70 of because they were 90% off when my local RadioShack was closing 8 or 9 years ago. Even then I probably overpaid for them by a solid 1500-2500%

I have easily over a thousand transistors but relatively few ICs. That's the most baffling part

got those too

This isn't a riddle or a contest, just a general question: why did I buy LM1458 ICs? What are some circuits they're used in? They're not on the parts lists for anything I'm currently working on. Does this part ring any bells for y'all?

I feel ya. I have 4 Belling 3208s for some damn reason. I don’t know of any diy circuits that utilize these BBDs. I also don’t even own a pedal that has 3208s in it.

Current Lover? Some iterations of the VFE bumblebee list it in the BOM.

Just toss one in every build before putting the cover on. You never know.....

500 ohms... You could replace the simulcast toggle switch with that pot and add a second gain pot... Now you only need 99 other mods xD

A $120 lap steel guitar. Why? Has that itch to get a cool slide blues sound. Couldn’t resist the temptation.

So you have a lot of parts, but tell me, how many PCBs do you happen to have?

I'm asking for a friend...

 

[Bobbyd67]

Haha xD I am looking to make a EQD grey channel clone and it uses that dual opamp ,I thought it sounded familiar so I forum searched 1458 and bingo re-found this thread !!! could it be the pedal you might have gotten The ic for ^^?

It is not but I appreciate that it could have been

 

[Harry Klippton]

Hey @Bricksnbeatles I just solved this one. It's for the systech overdrive

Nice!

 

[HamishR]

I was thinking it might have been the Recycler. I think that calls for one...
