Anyone ever built one of Ceriatone's kits before? They seem to have a huge selection of kits available

Great work, that thing looks incredible! I really need to build myself one of these, no flanger collection is complete without one! I particularly love the enclosure color, is that powder coat or did you paint it?

Fantastic work man, that thing looks sick! I really love all of your colored graphics on mirrored enclosures, one of these days I've gotta get a laser printer so I can give it a try myself!

Nice! Although essentially the same in principle this looks a lot handier than my current setup, might just have to pick one up next paycheck!
As for the Silverfox, are you planning on eventually releasing it as a normal project? I missed out on it this time but I'd definitely pick one up in the future if you do.

Open Discussion / Re: Small bear retiring
« on: September 22, 2021, 09:09:28 PM »
Man, this is a huge bummer. Small Bear was always my first stop for obscure ICs, obsolete transistors, LDRs, all sorts of pots, and pretty much anything else you can't find at Mouser or Digikey. While Steve has certainly earned his retirement, I can't help but wonder who (if anyone) is going to take his place. Hopefully someone buys the business and continues it and we aren't left at the mercy of fake Ebay chips and Reverb scalpers charging $50 for a v3207.

That thing looks great! Did you laser etch the graphics? Those knobs fit it super well!

Incredible work, your builds look amazing! I really need to get more Lovetone in my life, I put together a ? Flanger out of sheer curiosity and now I'd really like to round out the collection.

Great build, those blue aluminum knobs really pop against the rather subdued black and white background. Very classy!

« on: July 03, 2021, 05:45:34 AM »
That thing looks and sounds incredible! I don't know if it can really be called the "best" analog delay (that's just way too subjective), but it's almost certainly the most versatile. $549 is a bit rich for my blood, but it's hard to say it's not worth it!

Nice! I've been thinking of ordering the Dead End FX boards for these for some time to keep my ? Flange clone company, but seeing as how these fit in a 1590XX which can be gotten predrilled, powdercoated and UV printed from Tayda they just may be the ticket!

« on: May 21, 2021, 07:26:57 PM »If anyone is crazy enough to make diy boards of that 104 delay, I am crazy enough to buy it and build it asap!
I've got zero interest in trying to clone the 104m but I would like to lift some ideas from it for a new delay design. But seriously, look at it:
Wow, they certainly didn't waste any space in that thing!

« on: May 07, 2021, 10:46:23 PM »
I got my second Moderna shot at the local Walmart pharmacy on Tuesday. Got a headache and developed a low-grade fever with the accompanying chills and body aches that evening which lasted for around 24 hours but by Wednesday night I felt fine again except for a sore arm. Not great, but I'll take that over actually getting COVID any day!

General Questions / Re: need a substitute
« on: May 02, 2021, 10:03:31 PM »
I just got a lot of 200 Soviet D9B germaniums for $15 off of Ebay, which for me is pretty much a lifetime supply. Those should work fairly well as a sub for the 1N34A, especially in clipping applications. Hell, I swapped between those, some 1N34As, some 1N695s, and some OA1160s in a Harmonic Percolator I have on the breadboard and barely noticed any difference!

Wow, those look great! Nice work, I love seeing people use unorthodox finishing techniques. I really have to get myself a 3D printer and a laser engraver one of these days...

It's at the bottom of the front page but I had to zoom out to get a scroll bar.

Well damn, I might have to grab one next paycheck then! I don't know if I really have much use for it at the moment or if I'll get around to building it any time in the near future, but I can't deny my attraction to weird, overly-complicated projects!
He also mentioned working on making the pots and switching controllers available for purchase, so even if I have to get my own boards fabbed and do my own enclosure that would make things much less daunting.
