I pair I just got (pictured above) I picked up on EB for $20 + shipping.

Now look what you've done...buying toys for myself instead of the family!

I just want to give a big thank you to Paul for these tutorials. I've struggled with Eagle in the past, but with Diptrace and your help (and the Madbean library!), I'm finally over the beginning hump of the learning curve.


Eternity Burst pcb that I will sleep on before sending off to OSH

Clark Gainster w/ tropical fish caps. They are the ones with the multi-colored horizontal stripes.

Not pio, but I use tropical fish caps sometimes. Not too expensive and they look cool imo. Big mojo factor...

Every Russian germanium diode I've seen has the band at the anode end rather than the cathode.

Pm me if you want a few. Bought 100...

My daughter was a little older (15), but we built a Fuzz Face on a Mangler board. Simple and pretty dramatic.

Thanks for the Fretboard link. So refreshing to see other people as annoyed as I am with all the "giant sky fairy" and gun talk on TGP.

Thanks, Dave...worked great!

I just ordered a board from Rob. Has anyone started building this?

That is awesome...

Good suggestions...Thanks!

I recently etched a 424 pcb with board mounted pots. By the time I finished monkeying around with it trying to get the pots soldered without shorts from pad to pad, I had lifted a couple of traces. I ran jumpers, which were working, until I boxed it that is. Now, not so much. Anyone have any tips or tricks for working with pin mount pots on single sided pcbs? I've re-etched the circuit and will try it again. I'm thinking of just trying to be super careful during the soldering operation, and then using some epoxy on the back side to stabilize the pins.

And thanks for sharing, it is an encouragement!

+1!
