CHORAL REEF does not play well in effects loop of my amp. The delay switch makes a very loud pop.

Any ideas?

I updated the Projects page with some additional releases. This will hopefully be available on the 20th (margin of error of a day or two depending on how this week goes).

Woohoo, a 4/20 release.

Open Discussion / Transparent isolation washers?

Last post by lars - April 18, 2024, 01:52:55 PM

I know nobody manufactures them, but with 3D printing so prevalent, I'm sure somebody could make them.
Transparent resin printing
The most practical use for these would be to add LED lighting to vintage pedals without having to drill or modify in any way. The washers could either be for a 1/4" jack or the stomp switch. With how ridiculously bright LEDs are these days, I'm sure the light would bleed out just fine.

Open Discussion / Re: Just Saying -- the soapbox...

Last post by TNblueshawk - April 17, 2024, 05:05:36 AM

I know this thread is old, but I prefer to use what is established, rather than start a million new threads covering the same thing.
Soapbox time:
Have you ever been on an airline that didn't have ANY barf bags? I was on one last night. And of course, they hit some really bad turbulence, the kind that has those wonderful free-fall drops mixed in. And yep, people started puking. But there were no bags anywhere. And since it's "company policy" that everybody (including flight attendants) have to stay where they are during turbulence, that means nobody could go to the bathroom, nobody could get any assistance, nobody could do anything about puke flying all over. By the time the plane landed, the aisles looked like a crime scene of spent napkins and piles of digested pretzels.
I'm wondering...who is the absolute bungling idiot that refused to put barf bags on the plane? What did they expect would happen when the puke starts flowing? Does somebody hate the poor souls who have to clean the planes? Yet another example of the crippling stupidity so prevalent in the world today.

   Dude that is a nightmare

They probably took the bags out so they could move the seats closer together.

LOL! Come to think of it, that flight did feel more cramped than any flight I've been on recently.
Here is the kicker though:  they handed out free earbuds to anybody that wanted them! You can't tell me a barf bag is more expensive than earbuds. And people take the earbuds with them. People don't take the barf bag if they don't use it. So the absence of bags can't be because of economic considerations. It seems like it would be illegal for airplanes not to have bags, especially with the hyper-sensitivity the world has to communicable disease after that little covid thing. Barf hurling around has to be one of the most unsanitary things this side of who flung poo. I guess flying from now on is a BYOBB situation.

VFE Projects / Re: sps switching board questi...

So if you look in the eagle files in the universal documents folder it has all the switchboards I listed.  the picture in the assembly folder shows Truesoft sps v3.1 and has a few smd on the back and th on the front. If you pull up the eagle file it's actually version 3.2 and has everything on the front and is all through hole. I assume this is the one I will eventually use. In the eagle files there is also an sps 15v (shows sps v3) and an sps 18v board (shows sps v3.4).  The 18v appears to be the newest based on date.  I also looks like it has fewer components and returns to the th on the front with a few smd on the back. In the assembly file it shows sps v2 assembly which matches the 18v and 15v format but doesn't show anything about the smd components on the back.  Essentially there is nothing in the assembly folder that matches any of the actual boards completely.

Just came across this little amp, whilst looking at the tube cricket. To my ear this one sounds better. Does anyone have a vero layout or better still a gerber they'd be willing to share?
