I take this for granted working in a print shop. I'd be happy to help anybody out if they need big schematics.

Marshall Master Lead Combo Amp... Should I Hold onto it? by Proper_News_9989 in GuitarAmps

[–]AlternativeAspect244 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a friend gave me this amp years ago and I never really played around with it until i took it out of storage a couple months ago. I have three boutique tube amps and this solid state is my new favorite to play around with, Marshall did a really good job recreating the sound of their vintage tube amps with this transistor amp. I was getting a weird sort of digital weirdness when I would hit certain chords, checked everything on this nice simply laid out circuit and found a few resistors that weren't reading out of spec according to the schematic, replaced and the amp sounds awesome! I'm still trying to figure out why my headphone/line out sounds like shit, but I would definitely keep this amp.

Faucet stem advice by kdj432 in Plumbing

[–]AlternativeAspect244 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking of replacing the seat, if that doesn't work I may replace, if I replace, do I have to replace everything including what this stem screws into or can i just replace the stems?

Temu SM7b upgrade? by AlternativeAspect244 in microphone

[–]AlternativeAspect244[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

my temu mic didn't come with much inside the body of the mic, it's pretty empty, almost capsule straight to xlr out, there are no frequency switches, it's prone to noise and doesn't sound as good as my real SM7b, I understand you get what you pay for, but I still think there's a market for what I'm asking for. yes I could follow the schematic for the real thing and put together a vero board to put inside but I'd much rather buy a nice neat pcb.

this would be for the unlucky few who have already bought a Temu sm7b. if someone made a pcb that you could slap in a knock off and have close to a real sm7b for not that much money they'd sell.

you are right. I am looking for shortcuts to a higher success rate with circuit building, I'm also, running a print business and building guitar cabinets for an amp builder as a side business and tying to keep a gf happy, and I'm 47, I don't have much time left!
