Title: Nothing more frustrating...
Post by: Govmnt_Lacky on September 27, 2014, 10:50:11 PM
There is nothing more frustrating than spending the last 3-4 hours layout out, printing, ironing, transfering, and etching a faceplate only to find that you labeled one of the footswitches WRONG!  >:(  >:(  >:(  >:(  ::)

Well.... I guess its just gonna be wrong!  :-\  ;D

you did see my Britannia that has a "decay" pot? :)
once the envirotex is on, it may as well be written in stone... I ain't reworkin that kind of a brainfart, ever. Just not worth the hassle, OCD notwithstanding.

Don't you just love that? I got overly ambitious the other day labeling my FSH. Woops.

Thanks for the sympathetic posts guys  ;D

I ended up etching a faceplate where the "Byapss" is now "Parallel"  :-\

How I missed it and why the heck it said parallel is beyond me. Oh well... I guess I could say "The effected signal is running in parallel with the bypass signal."  ;)

My last finished project was The Low Down, a heavily modded OC-2. The only two pots that were PCB mounted were the Clean and Octave levels. Of course, my hand-painted labeling reversed the two. Frustrated, I clipped my pots off and wired them to fit my painting. Suffice to say, the insides are a mess...

I feel for you.

Just done that with my Boneyard - the high gain and crunch labels are on the wrong pots.  Gonna have to rewire those two because it'll drive me nuts, but first I have to get rid of the whine (which is probably bugging me more).

Off topic but, try a different op amp.  I don't know which spec it is for op amps and their resistance to oscillation, but there is a difference between flavors. Also bean had some good notes in his build docs for the early version about fixing whine.

Lol, should probably put this in the other thread, but yeah, I saw on Mark's site that some other guys have had luck with TLC274 and TL074 so I'm going down to the local tomorrow to see if I can't get those.
