    Just make sure that when you solder the replacement in that you solder the cathode (negative leg indicated by the white stripe) facing the same way; some capacitors aren’t fussy about polarity, these ones are.

    here’s John K’s version. I’ve built this layout and it’s great. The transistors were expensive (6 -7 quid each) but there are opamp layouts in the net too.

    I’ve got one of these on my main board - great little unit.

    Higher end pieces of kit often have an input transformer that is switchable between 110v or 230v for US and UK/EU markets. Different manufacturers have different ways to achieve this - the most convenient is a simple toggle switch, but sometimes it’s an internal procedure.

    I've spent a LOT of my playing doing 3 fingers - mainly to distribute the work more evenly. Playing night after night is easier when you don't have finger fatigue!

    Polypropylene caps tend to be closer tolerance - so closer to the stated value than polyester caps too, so I'd always opt for those wherever possible.

    I think you’re all dreadful and all the advice is worthless.😄 There, balance is restored.

    Envelope filters

    paul_5 replied to Thump's topic in Effects

    I started out life with a DOD FX25 - the same one in the Flea video in the 90s. Currently I'm loving a Lovetone Meatball Clone which does everything I could ever want from an envelope filter. In the middle of all that have been a couple of Q-trons, a Q-tron plus, a mini (and probably Micro) Q-tron too, and my main squeeze for a good long while was the a clone of the Chunk Systems Agent 00Funk which is my second favourite.

    Bought a multiFX unit from Fryer - really easy sale and quick dispatch. Top guy.

    Saw this advertised elsewhere today; very much looking forward to it.

    I tried to run this a while back in Pro Tools and it just crashed any PT session I opened it in. Took the AAX plugin out of the plugins folder and hey presto - Pro Tools works again. That was the catch for me. YMMV, and I think it was OK in Cubase though. The Plugin Alliance SVT stuff works and (IMHO) sounds better.

    Also Faith No More - Jazzlobber. That one's actually an improvement.

    Revisiting Macy Gray’s superb ‘on how life is’ album. Every track is killer! Also, it helps to drown out the navvies execrations - they’re digging up the road again.

    That one could have gone either way - pink torpedo or pink torpedo.

    quick tip for soldering to the pot cases - they have a coating on them which makes it more difficult than it needs to be - a bit of abrasion with a brillo pad or something similar will remove this and the soldering is MUCH easier.
