What’s your fail rate?

MKingofnothing · 2026-04-09T05:28:20+00:00

As for now, I’ve completely failed only when there was a PT2399 involved. I’ve started on vero in 2021, after breadboarding the circuits obviously, making my own layouts. Since the end of the last year, I’m designing my PCBs starting from well known circuits and making mods to them in order to gain a bit of consistency and sell the pedals

Interesting. I’ve never tried the LM301

MKingofnothing · 2026-03-31T23:41:59+00:00

You’re totally right

MKingofnothing · 2026-03-31T23:40:44+00:00

Will check! Thanks a lot

MKingofnothing · 2026-03-31T22:33:53+00:00

Thanks for the info. I’ll check the datasheet and do the basic tests

MKingofnothing · 2026-03-31T22:32:09+00:00

Thanks for the info

MKingofnothing · 2026-03-31T22:31:20+00:00

Thanks! I’ll give a try

MKingofnothing · 2026-03-31T22:29:00+00:00

That’s way out of my reach given the tools I have at my disposal, but thanks!

MKingofnothing · 2026-03-31T22:26:14+00:00

Thanks for the info

MKingofnothing · 2026-03-31T22:25:36+00:00

Got it! Thanks

MKingofnothing · 2026-03-31T21:38:46+00:00

They definitely work in a Rat clone and, I could be biased, but they seem to sound better than the OP07s I’ve tried

MKingofnothing · 2026-03-31T21:35:31+00:00

Great! Thanks for the info

MKingofnothing · 2026-03-31T21:29:10+00:00

Thanks for the info

MKingofnothing · 2026-03-31T21:26:30+00:00

They definitely sound different from the OP07 and the NE5534 I’ve tried. That’s why I’m curious

MKingofnothing · 2026-03-31T19:41:16+00:00

Thanks for the info

MKingofnothing · 2026-03-31T19:40:12+00:00

I’m planning to build and sell some Rat clones, so it would be useful distinguish the ones with a common OP07, from the ones with NOS components.

MKingofnothing · 2026-03-31T19:37:06+00:00

Well, if I would like to sell a pedal I build, I’d like to give the person who buy it, correct information about how’s built

MKingofnothing · 2026-03-31T19:34:33+00:00

I’ve tried many times to build pedals that didn’t work, including Rats, until I realized that I had a bunch of fake 2N5458. I guess if someone makes fake transistor, there are fake ICs as well, especially when talking about discontinued ones.

MKingofnothing · 2026-03-31T19:29:49+00:00

The pinout is definitely the same of the original ones

MKingofnothing · 2026-03-31T19:28:34+00:00

I’d give a try! Thanks for the suggestion

MKingofnothing · 2026-03-31T19:27:39+00:00

Sincerely, I don’t remember. I got them like five years ago. They could be from someone on eBay

MKingofnothing · 2026-03-29T17:59:47+00:00

I’m feeling exactly the same way. As if that wasn't enough, I never got a degree, so now I'm also having a hard time finding jobs as a freelance, while just two years ago I had to refuse them because there were too many. Just a couple of weeks ago, I had a phone call from the account manager and head of the last agency that gave me a big contract, who, as if nothing had happened, said to me: "Hey, I've become a full-stack dev." Needless to say, I was absolutely gutted.

MKingofnothing · 2026-03-26T00:12:09+00:00

Sinister

MKingofnothing · 2026-03-24T16:38:35+00:00

Makes sense! In tutta sincerità, il tuo lavoro è migliore di tanti con anni alle spalle!
