They just wanted to get the messy paperwork out of the way.

I think it looks really good.

I noticed the volume is considerably louder when you activate the tractor beam. What happens when you turn the volume down? Also, when you wail on a phaser, it will sound like that. The phase 90 does the same thing. If you, or any guitar player, is going to be wailing on it like that, usually distortion is involved anyway. I like the 5952s better than the J113s. Around 5:27, I think you'll hear the same distortion coming in, no distortion pedal, this is straight. It's just the nature of the beast.

That's just the output level trimpot not set quite right. Turn it up, turn it down, distortion sounds the same. I forgot to demonstrate that turning the guitar volume down does clean it up.

Sorry for the wailing... just trying to show what the extreme input did to the signal. Im ok with the distortion being there, that's part of why I like the phase 90 so much, but I think it is noticeably more extreme with the J113.

Im not quite sure I understand why the distortion is better/worse with different JFets as long as they fit the spec and are biased properly. Some people don't have an issue with j113s in a phase 90 and some people have trouble with 2n5952's in them. It seems to be hit and miss. I'm just looking to understand the possible differences and potential fixes.

I'm going to try some different chips to rule out any trouble with those...

Hey, I get it. I guess it just comes down to parts and part quality. You have a significant amount of gain in the input section I believe, that's what it sounds like to me.

Excellent group of entries. I am finishing up documentation for the next release right now but I plan to go through everything and get voting started within a day or so.

Woohoo!

First time I've seen that, I'm definitely using it in the future 

Bwahahahaha! I'm a bass player, this is the only thing I got out of this thread.

Because it was there! Nice ingenuity. From concept to the end. I like it.

Also, if I may say this here, if you are able to, please enter something, even if you don't think you have a chance of winning.  I keep saying, and others have said similar: this is a celebration of diverse talents and ideas.  It is a lot more fun when there are a ton of entries, and I don't think I've ever seen a single rude comment during the judging.

This. It's not really about the win, it's about seeing your best build and letting us see and hear it. For me, building is about the process, I got more pedals than I have room for now.

Cell phones!  Not hums, but random clicks and what sounds like bursts of data.  Laid one on top of an amp one day and it took me forever to figure it out.

Oh I know man, that makes me nuts.

Yeah, I figured it was just a joke, sorry CJ. I have definitely talked to people that do feel that way though and it's in no way constructive.

I totally feel you about how to start those conversations. I don't have the answer, but I strongly feel like that's what we have to do.

I should have noted in my original post that I was joking. Otherwise, it just looks callous and ignorant. Appreciate you not letting me skate on that. 

I think we can probably start to find some common ground in the next several months. Now that we will (most likely) be getting back to the old, comfortable shit-show that the presidency and federal politics has historically been, I think some of the daily reality-show circus antics will fall away. Not have a major scandal break every couple of days is going to be nice.

Remember when a blow job was the craziest thing that had ever happened in the White House? I miss that.

That guy was awesome. I miss Sara Palin too, she could see Russia from her porch.

I build
In front of my computer, I don't like to print out Boms. I was testing with my strat one day, and I kept getting a hum, drove my bits. I finally figured it out after 2 hours of mad frustration.

I plan to get my micro-chip shot as soon as they will let me. 

Still a lot of people I talk to at work or in general think the shot is full of nanobots and 5g and voodoo.

Let's hope that all these people stick to their beliefs and don't get the vaccine and then nature sorts things out.

I plan on getting mine ASAP. I don't believe the conspiracy.

While agree with you, I hope none of them work with my mother, I'd hate to lose her as crazy as she is.

Wait? Where is the switching board?

Very cool artwork. I can't place the character but it's so familiar.

It's in the center of the board. Interesting design.
