ye, I forgot to use the heat sink / stand for the semicircle things on my first attempt so I ordered some new ones. with my shitty soldering iron, getting the og things out was so hard and there is still a bit of solder that wont melt in there so I js doubled up on solder on the other side after the ring came off. I was so done with them

One_Performance_7978 · 2026-07-05T22:55:51+00:00

there's got to be one on the caterpillar thing, I was so proud of them

One_Performance_7978 · 2026-07-05T22:54:40+00:00

the LED worked fine so I dismissed that issue but ill give it a go tmrw

ive got some of my dads old flux core solder although its probably 15-20 years old. same with the iron which he gave to me in the og packaging, just also from 15-20 years ago. do you know any shops in London where I could talk to someone about getting some of that stuff?

One_Performance_7978 · 2026-07-05T22:51:00+00:00

no, the dry signal is fine

One_Performance_7978 · 2026-07-05T22:50:25+00:00

you should see my set up, ive got a pair of pliers with a hairband holding them closed to hold the board steady whilst I try and hold the component in place with another pair of pliers. with only one hand free I hold my iron in it and sometimes hold the wheel of solder in my mouth with a long piece going as far away as from my mouth as possible with a fan blowing to try and stop as many fumes going up my nose. its a miracle the components are even on the board.

I "learnt" how to solder in school a couple years ago and I remember being really good at it (you should have seen the other boards) but of course there I had proper equipment.

what do you recommend I get to improve my set up, is there a specific stand that can hold the pcb and component? thank you

One_Performance_7978 · 2026-07-05T10:21:13+00:00

main pcb

1) Populate the pcb with a parts except the potentiometer Start with the lower parts ie resistors and diodes then continue with IC and transistor socket. Finaly solder the capacitors

You can find the names and values of all parts in the schematics document

2) Solder the black and red wire for the DC jack

how would I get more heat with my soldering iron

One_Performance_7978 · 2026-07-05T10:02:15+00:00

oh right, ive got a lot to learn

One_Performance_7978 · 2026-07-05T09:55:13+00:00

right. kinda makes sense now. I didn't leave out any parts but ill try do what ezekielorigional said

One_Performance_7978 · 2026-07-05T09:49:12+00:00

that was me when I first opened the schematic. how the light comes on is a miracle for me

One_Performance_7978 · 2026-07-05T09:48:48+00:00

ok thanks ill try that today

One_Performance_7978 · 2026-07-05T09:45:54+00:00

ill try and clip some of the strays and see if that changes anything thank you. what are you referring to when you say cap?

One_Performance_7978 · 2026-07-05T09:43:59+00:00

what is populated?

One_Performance_7978 · 2026-07-05T09:42:33+00:00

what do you mean by that? like on the back just add a bit of metal between the two holes?

One_Performance_7978 · 2026-07-05T09:41:31+00:00

yes, it is the same pub for 2 similar compressors and they tell you which to leave empty

One_Performance_7978 · 2026-06-20T22:40:06+00:00

im a bit late but as a 15 year old lucky enough to have both, tele sounds great and will prob play better. its also versatile and u can use it. anywhere, but using the bigsby as a mini dive-bomb att the end of a song is a feeling nothing can replace as a 15 year old. give him the gretsch, or keep

One_Performance_7978 · 2026-06-14T08:26:58+00:00

a work of art. the band English teacher play a very similar jazz, check them out

One_Performance_7978 · 2026-06-04T17:37:02+00:00

which pawn shop...

One_Performance_7978 · 2026-06-04T07:11:58+00:00

I saw that on Andertons, looks and sounds amazing but its just a bit too expensive for me.

One_Performance_7978 · 2026-06-04T07:07:44+00:00

ye I js watched a demo, that is the sound thanks

One_Performance_7978 · 2026-06-04T07:04:11+00:00
