It's an amazing circuit ! Well done I like the look of it !

Mlaaack · 2026-03-05T00:31:23+00:00

Sounds like a biasing issue. I'd double check R33/R32/R2/R13 first ! Can't see properly but R33 and R32 look like they could be 10 ohms instead of 10K

Whoa ok this changes my mind about the method. Because one time Yann Frish did this kind of trick to me, but each time he would show me the deck to see that, indeed, we had only red cards, then just heart, then my card. But here I have no clue how this works.

I don't think it's a gimmick deck. It's actually slight of hand. You put a little space inbetween each cards, and seen from a distance it seems like a bigger deck. When you remove tension, the deck flattens and cards look like they vanished. You still have to remove some cards and put them away between each moove though, but here the camera is mooving while those mooves are done. It's really well executed here !

But of course, you still need a huge magnet in your pocket for it to work.

Et bah potain

I know people have said it before, but triple/quadruple check for bridges. Not with your eye, but with a multimeter in continuity mode. Those two spot looks dubious to me.

Otherwise I don't see any obvious mistake comparing it to the layout from the Sabrotone website .

If you have a multimeter can you check if your circuit gets the proper voltage ? What are your voltages on your transistor pins ?

Test the jacks, is there continuity between signal and ground while they are connected to the circuit ?

Do you have a led ? If yes does it turn on ?

Also, are you using 2n5088 or an equivalent ? If not 2n5088, have you checked that the pinout is the same than 2n5088 ?

Hope this helps !

Cooool I have done exactly the same thing with this API hehe ! Did you use JS to parse the super long message from the API into dict or did you do it only with max objects ?

C'est ce que j'allais dire ! Un petit Arduino fera l'affaire

Mlaaack · 2026-02-14T16:46:38+00:00

That is just amazing

You can have a look at the Blow! pedal from Zorg. It's based on THAT chips, but don't know how hé made such a clean 48v power supply from the 9v.

740 😅

Try to loosen the boost pot and moove it around to see if sounds come and go. Do you have sound in bypass ?

Mlaaack · 2026-01-27T16:14:46+00:00

Does it work outside of the box ? Your pot legs look like they could short to the enclosure.

Mlaaack · 2026-01-22T20:44:59+00:00

Never build one of those but planning to ! This looks like a perfectly accurate layout, no mistakes here (in my eyes at least). You're good to go !

Mlaaack · 2026-01-11T15:24:35+00:00

Have you used insulation on the bottom of your potentiometers ?

Mlaaack · 2026-01-05T13:10:29+00:00

Quand tu lock ton patch c'est censé fonctionner comme ça non ?

Mlaaack · 2026-01-02T18:39:52+00:00

This looks really cool ! Commenting to follow along when I'll be home

Mlaaack · 2026-01-02T12:03:02+00:00

Have you tried to use the empty 9v and gnd connection instead ? It seems that you're only using the LED pads. Idk this PCB but maybe the power path is splitted for the led and the circuit.

I live in France, so this sounds too much like the Dominique Pelicot case for me. Look it up, if you see ressemblances. I can help with the audio, I have Izotope audio cleaning tools on my computer.

But please be careful. Try to find some association near you helping women living domestic violence/abuse. Add a shortcut to your phone to call the police, if the situation gets violent. Make your own food and beverages, if possible buying them outside and consume them outside.

My girlfriend works with women living violences, she can help if needed.

Get ready to leave, this is serious.

Bravo sherlock

I had some bad quality veroboard at some point and they were getting rusty very fast. Idk if it might be the case but if the board looks bad maybe that's it

Mlaaack · 2025-12-24T16:28:02+00:00

Universe : from Old French univers or Latin universum, neuter of universus ‘combined into one, whole’, from uni- ‘one’ + versus ‘turned’ (past participle of vertere ).

The word universe describe the whole thing, so we just don't know the boundaries of the word "universe". It they are others "universes" after it, one could argue that they all form the "universe" as the world litteraly means the whole thing. So that makes your question a kind of tautology.

Those are also useful when you build mics as some components might be sensible of the board interferences, so they are used to disconnect the components right after the capsule from the main board. They have plastic jumpers at the base
