Re: Thread for random DIY-related questions

I'm back again, with a few questions: q1---toggle-buffer-or-true-bypass.jpg 1. I'm designing something where I want to be able to toggle between buffered bypass & true bypass. I haven't breadboarded this yet, but I'd like some feedback on my schematic (see above). The idea is to use an op-amp (e...

Re: Poster Flags

Without looking it up to confirm I’d still bet dollars to donuts Nuclear War Now does. Granted, probably more for bands looking to print small runs than for one-off custom orders.

Re: Recent Acquisitions

What rack format are these in? It seems like a lot of your gear has more in common with scientific test equipment than things commonly found on a euro rack rig, for example.

Re: Chris Reierson (news)

Story time: So some close friends of mine got me a couple of books for Christmas, one of them being Michael Tau's Extreme Music: Silence to Noise and Everything In Between. That name sounded vaguely familiar to me; I remember shooting a few emails back & forth with the guy like six years ago, ta...

Re: Thread for random DIY-related questions

So good news bad news: I’ll start with the former. Adding the buffering components to each ”stage” (more like “copy” but semantics be damned) did yield a significant improvement in crosstalk mitigation. As an aside, I had unknowingly applied a similar principle when I built the cacodemon last year, ...

Re: Thread for random DIY-related questions

So you’re basically just putting a cap (or in this case looks like several) across +12v & common, like a DC filtering cap?
I’m confused what the switch is supposed to do; I can’t tell what J1 is supposed to be, either, let alone why there’d need to be a diode there.
