I have an N95 mask, I think it looks cool. I feel like cobra from GI joe or bane from the Batman series.

Or the Lone Ranger apparently?

(Either DJT has never seen the Lone Ranger or he doesn't understand what kind of mask we're supposed to wear for COVID, but either way something's terribly wrong.)

Oh yeah man, that's super cool.

Do a forum search for autobahn, its an swaw type pedal on steroids. Kief can etch one for you; I believe it has everything you want. I prefer it to a straight swaw.

Data sheets and the analysis in the link below  have all the info you need.

I've found that the SMD parts are generally more consistent. The specs are the same as the TO-92 devices, but they are still in production and haven't been sorted through already.

Very cool. If I can get them in various Hfe then I am going to grab 20 or so.

Glad to see you got it sorted out! Where'd you end up getting the JFET that worked for you?

Ended up getting it from someone here. Your best bet is just to go on eBay and buy a bunch (now than 5) from someone in the states.

Good advice. I'm set with TH JFETs for a while and have been moving toward SMD JFETs anyway...I was curious because that seemed to be the sticking point in your troubleshooting thread.

Yessir. Do the 5457 smt jfets vary in hfe? I know in the 201s, they tend to be pretty steady and kind of high.

Here's the breakdown. I wanted to support Peter Rutter, so I paid the 10.00 to get his files. Even though I could get a Bumblebee board from Brian, I paid 22 for 3, I don't know why. The fix was in the 5457, the trick is the calibration.

It seems there's a widespread idea out there that if enough of us get this virus it will just die off and go away. That idea ignores the reality that the more people who get the virus the more potential for mutation and then resurgence, as well as the reality that some people will just never be able to breath the same again after it.

I remember reading about a total asshat walking around the U.S. Capitol Building simply saying "herd immunity" when asked why he refuses to wear a mask.  I think he may even have a medical degree (truly frightening).  I can't remember which state he represents.

For whatever reason when i see reference to 'herd' i always think lemmings mass suicide off a cliff (apparently a myth and perpetuated by Disney, but nevertheless the image endures.)

+1 tThat's about the size of it! Seems like a great concept til you get sick.

I got the right 5457, it's all about the 5457. Carry on.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the 100 is optical and 2 of the stages are fixed

No idea.

Sorry, I guess I'm thinking of something else with fixed stages.

The elecrosmash phase 90 analysis says the following:

"The effect is more dramatic by placing more than one notch. MXR Phase45 has 1 notch, Phase90 and Univibe have 2 notches and Phase100 uses 3 variable notches"

https://www.electrosmash.com/mxr-phase90

It also goes on to say:
"The LDR Light Dependent Resistor used on MXR Phase-100 and Univibe is linear and easy to use."

No worries. That's very interesting. Always happy for some phaser theory.

I thought maybe you ran the art thru Corel Painter or something for effect. It'd be damn hard to duplicate :-)

Will Corel still work on a modern computer?

That's a good question because I think the demo I saw was a V2.  Not entirely sure what the difference is.
