Open Discussion / Re: More love for Smallbear
December 14, 2019, 09:25:50 PM
I love small bear.  Many examples of great service over the years.  It has  grown,but I think he still takes care of the small guys building single pedals as a hobby.  I wish they shipped faster sometimes, but they always get me what I need even when I can't find it on their website.

Been a while since I've built a pedal.  My wife has a secret santa thing at work and the person she picked is a younger kidsl and a death metal band, so....

She said hey, gotta do this on the cheap, but I know you have a stockpile of parts and it's been a while since you built anything.  How about it?

So he is getting a boss-hm2.

Thing is mammoth is gone and PPP seems  to only accept orders in quantitys of 25+. Where are you guys getting painted enclosures these days?  Specifically I'm looking for a 125B black hammertone or black vein finish. Any good sources left?

Scruffie I recall reading the cool audio chips being noisy compared to Panasonic chips.  Not tryin g to propogate​ any fallacies.  The reprinting drives me crazy. 

I guess I'll find out, hopefully this weekend.  I'll let you guys know.

Small bear is reliable.  Sometimes their shipping is slow, but I have never had a problem with them.

Yeah, I've had good luck with this guy on mn3005 and mn3008 in the past so I figured I would take another shot.  I think those are way more rare.  I guess I'll find out the hard way.

I'm building a blueshift chorus(roland dimensiion D clone) and I got some hard to find chips on ebay.  I bought them from polida, who has come through for me in the past.  lots of mn3008 and mn3005s from him.  only ever got one dud.

These look a little suspect to me, but I don't know these chips as well.  My first concern is the silkscreen it the same on every chip.  Pretty amazing for reclaimed chips.  I may have to find out the hard way, by testing, but if anyone has any feedback.  I'm interested to hear... NE570N, MN3102, and MN3207 chips are the ones that worry me.  pics attached

Edited, does this link work?
