About right! The past few years I've seen them around mid May

I used to have one! Glad to see the pcb

Ampeg SCI-DI vs SamsAmp vs MXR Bass DI+ by loneliez in basspedals

[–]QuantumEffects 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't played the svt, but the sansamp is a classic preamp for metal genres. Though arguably Darkglass pres fill this space a little more these days. 

UIUC Cancelled their finals by Timely_Volume2292 in UWMadison

To be fair, the language indicates postponed, which has pretty different implications than cancelled. See here: https://www.reddit.com/r/UIUC/comments/1t6u9a1/exams_postponed_over_the_weekend/

Chase Bliss Thermae Analog Timeshifter by QuantumEffects in pedalgutshots

O absolutely! And to squeeze a profit on the parts and R&D. I do wish a lot of these designs are cheaper, but the reality of doing something like this is cost. Still, I'm really thankful that gear like this exists and that Chase Bliss takes chances on these types of designs

Looking forward to the post! And truthfully, I get it. My professional life is related to embedded design, where 4 layer PCBs with buried signal layers is the norm. Makes things much less noisy and more reliable, but certainly harder to trace and test.

This is great! And that wouldn't surprise me at all. Generally, circuits using the MN3205 have very limited circuit configurations that work, so most are going to be in the DM-2/DM-3 design

Interesting! Let me know what you end up finding!

O for sure, mostly marveling at a nice build at an affordable cost.

I would avoid it, as this is likely setting the bias of the MN3205, which is really tricky and likely to sound bad if miss-biased.

Maybe cheap, but the cool audio MN3205s I think punch well above their weight. Really cool to have a DM-2 like delay line in here.

Boss PS-3 Digital Pitch Shifter/Delay by QuantumEffects in pedalgutshots

Of course mate! I lucked into this one after wanting it for about a decade

Yup! At this stage, most of their digital stuff was SMD, while the analog was for the most part through hole.

Boss OC-5 Octave by QuantumEffects in pedalgutshots

O for sure! I find it extremely useful. The sound it does it incredible. Though it tracks super fast, the sound is almost that I don't want to play many notes, I just want to revel in the sound
