Open Discussion / Spring cleaning

Last post by djaaz - July 15, 2024, 07:17:09 PM

I started two days ago the annual reset of my home office, home studio, guitar workshop, soldering station, entertainment space.

While you do that, do you also feel like setting the whole thing on fire and restart your life from scractch somewhere in south america?

That's just the pedal building thing, and there's stuff in there i did not know i had.

Am i the only one and if so how are you dividing your space for your different hobbies?

There are several questionable solder joints there. Solder should flow through the board. I recommend going over it again.

Really cool. Each time.

Thanks! I'm pretty pleased with it.



I guess I didn't really comment on the circuit itself, reading it again, heh.

I do like the overdrive quite a bit. I know it's an oldie, but I do appreciate moving the bass and mid controls to trimmers in the rev. 1. I went with the intended IRF transistors, since blearyeyes kindly included them, and first time figured why not keep it vanilla. Sounds great and I might build something like it again.

Global Annoucements / Re: 2024 outlook

Last post by jimilee - July 14, 2024, 02:32:42 PM

I'm kinda stoked.  Now that I've moved my output is zero while I get caught up on music store repairs but I have some Aion, PedalPCB, and MB boards in the queue and I'm finding that just taking my time and not having access to all my parts and tools on a daily basis has made me appreciate this a bit more.

Got to (slowly) get back in the groove and looking forward to new MB stuff!!

Welcome back!

Build Reports / A boy and his …electronic dog ...

Last post by jessenator - July 13, 2024, 07:01:14 PM

Working through my backlog of boards, I remembered I received this PiF from blearyeyes this last holiday, so I set to work. Sparkplug. Well, given my fixation with Fallout, the first thing that came to mind was actually Sparks from Fallout 4's Automotron DLC, but then I decided to play to type and pick an eyebot from New Vegas

ED-E

 

A pre-war relic, sent from the east, detouring in Chicago before finally making its way towards Navarro: the last bastion (fight me) of the Enclave. ED-E took a .308 round cruising down through the Mojave, before being picked up by passing courier who picked it up and dropped it off at the Mojave Express office in Primm. In the hands of another, it would be repaired to working order and accompany the fated "Courier Six" on their journeys. Companion, pack mule, defender, eDog, it was the only one who never complained about the questionable actions carried out by the courier, with them until the end.





This one was comparatively spur-of-the-moment, which thankfully came out 99% as intended. I suspect one of monojack holes was milled slightly larger than the other, hence the asymmetrical protrusions. I think it just slipped over the annular ring on the input jack.

I toyed with a few enclosure color options, but when looking at Tayda's "cream", I converted the approximate Pantone to HEX and that sealed the deal: #EDE9AD I kid you not.

Thanks for looking.
