Nice! Bad DC jack maybe? Battery is pretty straight forward. I don't use them on my builds, though.

All the restocks have been inventoried. Just need about two more hours to finish up the new project docs tomorrow.
Which tomorrow were you speaking of?

here's what it says when i try to checkout for the big bottoms:
"Sorry, BigBottoms isn't available at this time."

Groovy. I'll double check the datasheet to be extra care, but I'll give er a go.

Quote from: jessenator on April 07, 2026, 04:01:13 PMSo it's safe to say that almost every BBD-based modulation effect is my 'nemesis circuit' NO matter how meticulous I've been in builds, or how much I've tried cramming related analog circuit engineering into my skull.

I've been reading about BF-2 substitutions, and if I read Mark's comments correctly, one can drop-in a xx3204, but that if the clock is running at the same rate you treat it as if you have half the stages of the xx3207. This results in a tighter effect for flangers especially.

My question is if this can be done for chorus effects, or if it would just be terrible sounding?

As long as it's pin and voltage compatible there's no harm in trying. At worst, it might be more boxy or metallic sounding than a typical bbd chorus.

Tech Help - Projects Page / Epipen - Below Unity Volume
Last post by Jobu - April 06, 2026, 02:09:00 AM
Hi there, with the "more" switch off is it expected behavior for the Epipen to be below unity volume (Pre set 100% up and Post 100%)? Biasing does not seem to make much of a difference in volume. Currently biased at 7V similar to the build documents.

If that behavior doesn't suggest a builder error I'm thinking about swapping the 10kA output pot for 100kA and testing different JFETs, other suggestions welcome.
