I am having an odd experience where my zendrive, pot and morning glory pedals have to be dimed to reach unity and in the case of morning glory never gets there. They are just after my tuner which is first I. My board. I have tried different power supplies and cables with no luck. Anyone have any idea why this would happen?

A while back I could have sworn I saw someone post an excel spreadsheet for use for parts inventory at home. Does anyone know where I can find this? I have been sifting through search results without much luck.

I was biasing a Woodstork that I finished a while ago and haven't boxed and can't seem to get the bias in range. The voltage coming off the Jack is 9.5v and the closest I can get at the test point is about 7.5. What can I do to get closer to range?

I was on the SB site today and no tested transistor sets are available for tonebenders. Does anyone know anything about this? I wonder if this is temporary or has he actually run out? Does anyone have any other sources for tested sets?

Really stupid question and I had a hard time searching for the answer so i apologize but where would I find a DMM probe socket that I have seen people use on their JMK test rigs? I am building a new one after a friend claimed mine and want to make it a little more polished.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I'm getting back into things after a long hiatus and my harbor freight dmm is toast. I looked at some of the old threads about this but a lot of the models are discontinued or unavailable.im hoping to get something relatively decent but for sure less than $100. I have been looking at various models such as the fluke 101 but don't know if that is too bare bones for this stuff. I'm hoping to get some suggestions.

Thanks

Is there a diy compressor available to us diy'ers that sounds similar to and has similar controls to the Cali76? I'm jonesing for one but can not justify the price. Looking for the next best thing.

Does anyone remember what the keeley mods are for the boss tr-2? I recall seeing them way back when here but can't find them when searching. I just got one cheap and wanna tinker.

Wife did the purple fade paint. She plays bass and I'm trying to get her into pedals

Built up a fat pants junior. Checked my wiring  and power with dmm. Tried to bias the get and can only get between 7-8 volts. Any idea what this could be? Will upload pics in a bit.

Got the board populated by Droogie, changed out a few components to fit better with my guitar and amp. First completed project in over a year.

Currently comparing the schematics and trying to figure out correc component values for Joe bonamassa ff due to differences in designs. What I have come up with so far is r2 to 45 k and r4 to 332r. Does this seem right? Also trying to figure out bias and r3 values given the bonomassa uses a 220r in r3. If anyone would be willing to help me clarify I would be super appreciative.

Hi all, it's been a while since I have been super active and built a lot. Life is crazy right now finishing my medical training and I just am getting back into building and playing more and my stahl iron crapped out. Any love for the Xytronic LF-389D from small Bear? I'm trying to stay around 50 dollars if possible but could go a little more. Any recommendations? Sorry if this has been answered to death somewhere else but unless someone has a lead on a cheap hakko I'm not ready to drop 100 dollars yet.

Thanks!

I have been burned a couple of times on parts from Tayda now and want to try building these with better components, does anyone have mouser BOMs for these projects?

Really dumb question but when reading schematics and there are 2 separate circuits on the page ala the Timmy schematic how do you integrate the two? Not trying to build anything but trying learn schematic reading for my own education.

I have been out of the loop for most of the last year on here and want to start doing some of my own pcb layouts. I know there is a ton of knowledge out here but I am wondering were I should start? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks for the help, glad to be back.

Are there any out there under 500 built that are fairly well built?

Sorry if I'm missing something obvious but does anyone have an idea of what od pcb out there would be like a Trainwreck? I have a buddy who wants one but I dunno what to build.

Anyone have one or is it identicle to the sea urchin
