Open Discussion / Re: Unusual "views" counts?

The number one key component to a successful diy pedal build is butt stuff.
Once user has mastered that, they can fine tune the tone of the pedal with telekinesis. Using extra flux as needed.
The key to biasing a Zonk Machine has always been telekinetic butt stuff.

So, did you just straight up omit the GAIN and TONE pots, or was there some other component bridging/omission going on?

I redrew Robert's Counterweight schematic with some power and IO tweaks:


The pin numbers on the original aren't a 1:1 with the column numbering on the tagboardeffects layout, so I changed them to correspond to them in the redraw:

This video came out a while ago about poisoning AI crawling YouTube with fake (invisible) subtitles. Maybe something similar could be done with HTML comments?

General Questions / Re: Setback no tails question

Last post by mauman - September 08, 2025, 04:17:51 AM

From the Setback build doc:

If you don't want the Tails switch it's easy to defeat. Simply solder a jumper between the TLS1 pads on the PCB. Leave the TLS2 and LED2 pads empty. You can also omit R16 and R17 in this case.

You'll still want to block DC from the NE570 pin 11, but instead of equipping both C9 and C10, you can strap one of them, and replace the other with a 470nF non-polarized cap. That's assuming you omit both R16 and R17.

This post already has almost 2,000 "views". I don't think I have a single post over the last 10 years that has received 2,000 views.
LOL!
There's nothing to see here!

General Questions / Setback no tails question

Last post by Robusto - September 07, 2025, 06:07:04 PM

If I want to build the Setback Delay and omit the tails footswitch, are both C9 & C10 (two 1u back-to-back in opposing directions) still necessary?

Thanks!
