Mods / DIY your own Audio {Log} pots
February 09, 2012, 07:46:01 PM
Here's an interesting article about Potentiometers

http://www.elby-designs.com/documents/tailoringpotentionometers.pdf

You can DIY your own Audio {Log} pots starting from a linear pot of the same value using the 10% approximation. See section called "Tailoring Potentiometers"

Interesting nuances.....

5kA= 5kB + 470 ohms across wiper & outer lug

General Questions / Boneyard at +/-12V vs TC1044S spec
January 26, 2012, 08:14:23 PM
I would like to run my Boneyard at +/-12V

Datasheet shows that the rated operational voltage is  1.5 - 12 volts and absolute MAX voltage is just 13V.  That seems dangerously close to the rated operational voltage when running at +/-12V.

Has anyone had any trouble blowing up these TC1044s by using standard unregulated 12V wall warts which start off around 14V and drop down under load ?
