The only time I would recommend 1/2W resistors in pedals (barring tube-based ones) is for making supply voltages. For instance, sometimes you will see a small resistor like 100R in line with the power supply. This creates a low pass filter with the subsequent filtering cap to reduce noise. It is beneficial to use 1/2W resistors in those cases (metal or carbon film), but generally not a requirement. This is especially true when you have a effect that has a high current draw. If the circuit tries to drain a lot of the current available from the supply, that filter resistor will start to heat up. I've smoked a few out on occasion. But, replacing that resistor with 1/2W almost always solves the problem.

Okay, I have added a drill template to the last page of the Mangler doc.

I'll make one right now.

It's that expensive because people foolishly will pay that much. I've seen them for 2k, even.

There will be new projects soon. I'm way behind on finishing up things. But, I will get it locked down here within the next week. We''l do the end of summer sale when the re-stocks/new stuff gets released.

Cool. Yeah, at some point I need to dig into the PHP side of things on the forum and expand it a bit more. Maybe when I finally get around to finishing the re-design of the website.

My god...that cat is enormous!

I just noticed some of the PCB images on the Projects page did not transfer. I'll get that fixed.

Just use Draw-Frame from the menu bar and set it to the Info layer. 

Added quick links to the menus for the Projects page etc.

Added "related topics" which might be helpful.

68n rated for 63v.

I think Tapatalk should be fixed now.

Also, my regular email is now functioning ... brian AT madbeanpedals.com

All things forum related should now be working correctly. Please post here if you run into any trouble.

You can now choose from several different forum themes. If you want to stick with the one we've been using, it's called "Black Rain". I'm trying out "Dark Modern" right now.

Okay, thanks for letting me know. Part of the upgrade will be taking the forum and database to the latest version, which is SMF 2.05 I think. I will be reloading all the plugins as well on the new server. Hopefully that will fix the issue. And my madbeanpedals email will finally be working again.

If there are any other forum features/plugins you like, let me know and I will see if I can incorporate them.
