Huge Dean Deleo fan, so making this would take me back to that super important time in my youth when I truly fell in love with music and core was one of those records I loved. Plush would have been nothing without this pedal

I thought i read somewhere that Brian was working on a version of it. Would be awesome if it came to fruition, would love to build one to play thru!

Are they cheaper? What’s the advantage if other ones are still available?

Price break for buying bulk.

I received one xvive MN3007 in one of my last order. I replace the old stock MN3007 in my CE-2 DIY for this new one. It's hHard to say if there's something different, but it worked.

Awesome thanks for the reply. I don't buy into the snake oil mojo of all nos parts. I'll order them.

General Questions / Xvive mn3007

I know the xvive mn3005 is good as a reissue but  am wondering how the reissue m3007 stacks up against the originals. Anyone have any feedback for me. I have quite a few projects I need them for and although the originals are still readily available, I can get a price break on the xvives. More money saved means more modulation!

Hell yes, Star Trek for the win. I grew up on that thang. Sounds good man, what phaser are you most looking forward to from bean. For me it's the polyphase and the whetstone.

I would guess non-polar.  It's a type of inductor, which are non-polar.   Also, looking at the different flavors of these, the SMD ones look like resistors, no markings to indicate direction.

Thanks John, I was thinking along those lines. I don't see them often used in circuits so it being my first time I thought I should ask before I solder vs ask how to fix something later!

where did you get the mv-57b and the tda7052b? They are the last two parts i need.....

The mv-57b i got from smaller when they reopened last month for those 3 days. The tda7052b I got off eBay, they are out there just not a lot from US sellers. I see China i.just assume fake

I am assuming that you are working a Lovetone project...

The ferrite beads are used to cut down on RF interference noise in the circuit. I have used them and not used them on projects.

EDIT: By "not used them on projects" I mean that I have built Lovetones and not installed them where they are supposed to go. Never heard a difference. Only guitar though...

I'm actually building a Hooke reverb, a spaceman Orion clone. The pads on the board are both circular so I'm assuming the aren't polarized. I bought them so I'm gonna use them. I guess they couldn't hurt even if I don't hear a difference.

General Questions / Ferrite beads

I was wondering if ferrite beads are polar. I'm building a deadendfx pedal and these are the ferrite beads in the build doc. https://www.rapidonline.com/murata-bl01rn1-a62-axial-ferrite-bead-inductor-26-4860
Anything I should know before I solder them in? It's my first project using them and my Google searches brought up slightly conflicting results. Thanks for any knowledge.

General Questions / Re: Tips For Repairing Broken PCB Traces & Solder Pads

« on: May 08, 2020, 06:24:59 AM »

I've tried different approaches especially some of the stuff from YouTube videos where  they do smd stuff. The most solid method I have had is the point to point style you did. Especially for power sections I would take solid over pretty. When fixing a deluxe reverb pcb I simply bent a cut off lead and looped the ends around both components to simulate a pcb pad. After it was soldered it was rock solid and it was not visible as it was on the back side. I trust that more than tape or something else flimsy.

I was told there would be phasers.

I love you Jimi, you don't play! You came hard with this lol I'm waiting too but you wild boy! #phasers4lyfe #phasorstilldeath
