I added a few of the extra VFE MCU to my cart but when I go to pay it says it's already sold out. Is that right?

Is it really different enough from the regular opamp muff to justify a new release?

Wow, this is cool

Ok, right. I see. The transistor package outline on the PCB is upside down. Thanks for the heads up.

I used the 2n7000s

Would you mind sharing where you got them from so others don't suffer the same fate? I'm building this one now and was about to place an order.

It has this in the build doc...

"MOSFET selection and pinouts
The original Box of Rock uses BS170 MOSFETs. These are identical in specification to the 2N7000, but
with the major difference that sometimes the pinout is different. Some manufacturers use D-S-G and
others use D-G-S, while the 2N7000 is always D-G-S. Therefore, it's recommended to use 2N7000 when
building this project."

Just a guess, but it sounds like the computer is a high impedance output and the guitar signal is low impedance. You might try loading the circuit input with a 1M resistor to ground.

This seems to be working for me now.

What you are looking for is the Archive section on the main shop page. It's in the VFE section

I just got the change to brown theme and Brian's profile showed up when I clicked on that thread. I go to another page and its back to normal.

Yep, I still see that issue too. There are some others I've noticed as well.

I randomly switch to the brown theme for a post and then back to regular.

Going to a post I've visited always takes me to the first post/page.

Edit: it took about 2 hours for this post to show up for me.

Hmm, I don't see anything referencing 15v or 18v versions. Where are you seeing that?

As far as I can tell there are two versions of the SPS switching boards.

1) Truesoft SPS - this is mostly thru hole components with 2-3 smd ics on the back.

2) SPS System - this has mostly smd components and was designed for mass production. I think he only sold these fully assembled

You want the Truesoft SPS pdf in the assembly folder

They probably took the bags out so they could move the seats closer together.
