Have you ever had a night that everything just clicks and you feel like a skilled electronics ninja master?
Now my long story:
So I have been in a huge lul with building pedals.. I have been building more synth stuff lately.. but thats neither hear nor there..
I went to my bench and opened my box of "To be finished" and pulled out all my Lovetone builds that needed something or another to finish them up. None of these were tested since they needed a few parts to finish them up for testing.
First up the Cheese Source - Horace - Alanp PCB.. needed some pots mounted and took it to the amp for a test and it fired right up.. played with it for 10-15 mins and called it good.
Then I grabbed the Wobulator - Tremopanation - Alanp PCB. Needed LDRs installed... I remember I sourced all these LDRs for numerous projects months back. Mounted them and took it to the amp to test and it also fired right up... I was amazed, 2 in a row.. Im on a roll
Ran back to the bench and grabbed the Meatball - Rissole 1.4 - Alanp PCB and it also needed LDRs. Minutes later I was at the amp and testing.. Another score.. fired right up. I really love this thing by the way.. spent 45 minutes messing with it.
There is no way in hell I can keep this up, right?
I then went to the PCB I have avoided this whole night because I KNEW it would not work and I would need to troubleshoot it. The Flange with No Name - Nameless - Alanp. This thing was a pretty daunting build. This one needed a few more parts but I had them all on hand. an hour later a scotch on the rocks I was ready to face my failure. Went to the amp and I was floored.. it worked, needs to be biased but It was flanging.
The good news: They all worked..
Bad news: I need to make some enclosures. lol

I think I can honestly say, "nope", I've never had a night like that. ;D
Sounds like the soldering pixies were helping you out.

HAHA Thanks Timbo. I'm so out of practice I will have to take it slow..
Enclosures ordered, so there is no excuse.

Since you're an enclosure master Cody, I'm sure this will also go well.
Those nights are the best. Mostly I've been having the opposite sort of nights. Lately it's been potty training accidents and flooding kitchens.

Ha. I was about to start a thread about the exact opposite.
If nothing else, I've been happy with my troubleshooting/probing skills lately, as they've had lots of practice. ;)

Amen. Lots of your kind of nights going on down here too Jacob.
Something seems different about Cody today. I can't quite put my finger on it...
Sounds like the mojo is strong with this one.

Nice! I have had my doppleganger on my board for a couple years now, still one of my favs.

LOL Brian added "skilled electronics ninja master" as a tag to my username.. look under my avatar.
I think he's setting me up for failure.
