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.

it look very cool, sometimes the accidents are better than perfection, plus this one phases!

Wanted to give props to Jimilee for becoming the Phaser Overlord, that's some OG stuff right there!

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.

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.

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

I can understand it being part of the circuit. It's not massive and it's a cool effect so not a deal breaker

I built my freakout and it sounds like it should but there is a slight volume drop. Any way to raise it to unity?
I checked all my resistors and they are all right. Thanks, Chris

Beautiful. The colors, the faceplates, the build is super clean. I bet it sounds amazing. Great job!

That is awesome Jimi, where you hide the road rage? Under the the pcb?
