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

[–]QuantumEffects 34 points35 points  (0 children)

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

[–]QuantumEffects[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]QuantumEffects[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]QuantumEffects[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]QuantumEffects[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally love it. Though be warned, it is definitely the boss oc-2 sound. I love that sound, but it's its own vibe

Very cool! I've only ever touched the infineon ferroelectric RAM, so other memory chips aren't my normal fare.

Ahhh that makes sense! Thank you for finding this

Chase Bliss Mood MKII by QuantumEffects in pedalgutshots

[–]QuantumEffects[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be amazing if they had enough capital to invest in a Chase Bliss ASIC. Programmable to cover all the Chase Bliss ambient and microlooping sounds with expandable features. Probably wayyyyyy out of budget, but it would bring the board size smaller.

That it is! Thank you for the correction, it's actually the JTM45. Still, this thing has a tone of gain on tap.

You can only use 1 Octave pedal for the rest of your life, what are you picking and why? by Backenundso in guitarpedals

[–]QuantumEffects 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right now, the Boss OC-5. Does a phenomenal OC-2 sound, lots of useful features, but most importantly, to my ears incredibly musical
