merlin's 2 books are pretty much the only books you need to start out.

proper heatsink technique.

always use a mica or other ceramic isolating sheet between the back of the 220 casing.

always use a plastic or ideally teflon insulating washer between the screw and the mounting holes.

best practice - use a non-conductive screw.

the exposed back plate on a non self insulated 220 package is always connected to the cathode or the output.

you can use some combination of opa2604, 2134 and 1612

I "Eagle'd" some boards up.  It's a little different than the aquaboy double delay.  I based the board off the schematic on SmallBears site for the fake mn3005's.

does that work with the mn3005?

you have to look on ebay or surplus stores.

they really aren't made any more.

are you talking about the custom audio electronics se3+?

that's the front end to the Suhr/CAA OD100se+

there's no schematic of either as far as I'm aware.

Normal sized parts for Min is different from what we think of normal sized parts 

Silly amp builders

wut. i'm living in the future. the future.




time to find me some 22uf film caps.

Ya i was trying to use some rn60 resistors since i didn't have the values in rn55 but i'm not gonna be able to use them at all.

I think I'm going to have to mount the resistors on the other side for me to even have any chance of fitting the caps properly...

not to mention that I got wimas in 1uf, 2.2uf, 4.7uf, and 10uf.

I'm going to have to build an adapter board for them.

I'll fix it for my other two boards. Stilts for the first board.



now to desolder the stand up resistors sigh.

Houston we have a problem ...

my boards too small



.

it really depends.

however, I'd say that 99 percent of pedals that are advertised as using blah blah blah finest whatever isn't really.

Mercury Magnetics- I think they make the best stuff out there for sure. The problem is, it's double the price and you are not getting double the sonic quality. Their transformers are great but Heyboer is half the price and I seriously doubt anyone will hear the difference. My favorite of theirs is the $300 transformer upgrade kit for a $125 epiphone valve jr 5 watt amp. Are you kidding me?

not even...

edcor beats out mm at less then half the price.

at the same price onetics completely destroys mm.
