Gah, too late. SteveXFR has it

The Blue Light - Zappa

Yes! Toxic fumes aside lead/tin is magic stuff! I trained myself to resolver using lead free as my sons were showing an interest in it, and I didn’t want to poison them slowly. I doubt I’ll go back to 60/40 now just because I’m used to lead free stuff now, but damn it was easy to work with!

Daisy-chaining for two pedals is usually OK - just add up the current consumption of the two devices (it'll be underneath the pedals and given in milliamps (mA)), as long as you're not to pull too much current through the power supply then you should be OK... Edit: Just checked the specs and the Onespot delivers 1.7A (1700mA), which is plenty! According to their manuals the Spectradrive draws 250mA and the Polytune draws 45-50mA, so you're nowhere near the 1700mA limit! One caveat though is mixing analogue and digital devices from the same PSU can sometimes introduce noise, but I don't remember having that problem when I ran the onespot.

0 sold / 0 bought. I'm really happy with how my 3 bitsas turned out. I fear I may have to resign my commission as a BCer.

Nice. 555 as a charge pump? edit: just looked at the outside with two tubes sticking out of it. Durrrr 😞

The only difference between PCB and veroboard is that often a PCB can be made smaller - either electrons flow or they don't. The majority of my gigging board is done on veroboard, the only one that isn't is my Lovetone Meatball clone, and that's only because I couldn't be bothered with the masses of off-board wiring - four rotary switches and six pots (plus eight TRS sockets) was a bit too much for my patience...

This. There are very few components that are 'crucial' to the sound of a pedal - certain opamps (e.g. LM308 for RATs etc...)are sought after for their characteristics, often the same characteristics that made them obsolete in the first place (slew rate, noise etc...) and all the gunk about germanium transistors is a moot point, as they tend to be so leaky and susceptible to external factors (temperature variations etc) that it's a real crap shoot, and trying to build two identical devices with these components is like chasing smoke.

Played double bass for a good friend's MA performance exam (she was the singer) after twätting my middle finger with a hammer the day before. I did not play to my full potential.

Wishing you a swift and (more importantly) full recovery.

Twenty small cigars - Zappa

So long Marianne - St Leonard of Cohen

A PCB for a Lovetone Meatball clone - amazing pedal!

A wise move.

It's a Silly Point to make though. Is it Japanese or Maiden England? etc... etc..

Any downers? - Zappa

Stand Up - Diamond Dave

not just trimming the strings either - that's small potatoes compared to the unfinished wood he's left at the bottom and lack of rear strap peg.

Silver and Gold - U2, but mostly me, me, me.

Bongo to Wrongo in two swift cuts. people? You can keep ‘em.

Nice. great demonstration of how to use a P&C properly. Mine is just used for filth.

you know, it's much easier to learn to play the synthesiser...... not as much fun though.

I put my P&C in the effects loop of my Meatball for some great synth tones. Not much use on its own though.
