VFE Projects / Question about the vfe switching board...
September 27, 2021, 09:23:47 PM
question about the momentary mods on the switch board:

is there any external indication to let you know if the system is in latching more or momentary mode?

does it remember the settings after a power cycle?

Thanks

necro bump.

i'm having the exact same issue.

D9E diodes, TL274 op amp, 1044scpa pump.

hi all,

i'm not that familiy with XLRs and balanced signals so this might be a really basic question.

I'm trying to make a simple 3-channel mixer that can take XLR balanced and 1/4" unbalanced signals, mix them, and then output a balanced XLR signal .

The output side is no problem - i found an active DI circuit that i can use to convert the mixer output to a balanced signal.

The problem is on the input side.  I'm not sure how to get the XLR signal into the AMZ mixer circuit "properly".  Do i just take the ground and pin 3 of the XLR and use those or is there something else that i need to do to the signal first before it goes into the mixer?

Thanks

thanks. i'll give this a try and see what happens!

I built a ebmm 3band  bass preamp in a pedal but I'm just barely getting unity gain with the volume at max - which is expected since this was originally an onboard preamp.

I would like to get more than unity gain from this circuit but I'm not that familiar with this topology.  Would I add a feedback resistor between pins 1 and 2 to get more gain?

Thanks

Open Discussion / Will a tablet pc cut it?

It's that time where I need to look for a new pc.  Would a tablet windows pc be able to run something like eagle and inkscape?  I'd love to be able to work on layouts while I ride the train to work lol.

Also would a tablet pc be strong enough for reaper and video editing?

yeah i know this isn't mouser's fault.  I emailed them about it hoping that it was a website mistake, but they confirmed that there was a price increase on 3/16/17

honestly, i can't really see the justification for a sudden near 50% price increase unless the company is being run by incompetent people who don't know how to forecast sales properly.

Koa-Speer has now gone from a middle-of-the-pack price to the highest price for through hole resistors.

So i have dozens and dozens of projects saved in my mouser account.  All of them with Koa-Speer 1% metal film resistors because it was a decent balance between quality and cost.

I log in today to make an order and for whatever reason the cost of all Koa-Speer resistors has almost doubled!  they were around 17 cents in singles and now they're up around  32 cents each!

not impressed.

edit.

fixed the problem as i was posting IC voltages *embarrassed*

nothing to see here..

move along.

General Questions / Zero Point Mini

Is there any way to get my hands on a Zero Point Mini PCB?
#14
what about the resistor that's in parallel with the cap?

Just a general question about JFETs as used in amp sim pedals like the chunk chunk.

i'll use the gausmarkov dr boogey schematic for reference here:



this question pertains to R2 (1k8) and C1 (1u) (and i guess to an extent R6 & C6 and R12 & C9)

What/how do these values affect the gain coming out of q1?    I've fooled around with adjusting C1 and i see that when i drop this value the amount of gain/saturation drops, but i'm not sure why it's doing this?  do these only have an impact on the overall gain of Q1?
