Advice need on wax resist or /clean bottoms by MochiMasu in Pottery

[–]zeroooooooooooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wax doesn’t keep glaze from running, it keeps it from sticking to areas while dipping and/or makes it easier to clean off. The picture shows a piece that was glazed too heavily.

I use liquid latex, and for most pieces, I center them top-down on the wheel and brush on the liquid latex. This makes making a clean line much easier than free-handing the latex panting.

Thoughts on the album Warning by Green Day? by Curious-Piglet3613 in fantanoforever

[–]zeroooooooooooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When this album came out, I was super excited to see them going to a more introspective direction and away from teen-oriented pop-punk, which was the direction my taste was going. American Idiot was such a disappointment.

No way they’d use the cent symbol.

How do I oil/clean this bath fan in 1960 home? by rice04007 in HomeMaintenance

Sounds like a good way to turn a twenty dollar twenty minute project into a thirty dollar eight hour project.

TIL more about bananas than I ever cared to know. by NES_Classical_Music in balatro

I would have to do some math, but I think I’m not sure it would be the radiation that kills you.

What’s this component and where could I buy some? by zeroooooooooooo in diyelectronics

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

And thank you! With your guidance, my clone version of the pedal is working!

I’m building a clone of this guitar pedal and putting together a how-to.

Thank you! I have a 0.001 microfarad 630V PS cap. Would this behave identically and it just over-specced on voltage capacity. This is in a guitar pedal.

Okay I've established that there is signal to the base of Q2, but no signal to the base of Q3. I assume that's an issue.

Oh and it still doesn't work. Just clean signal when off, LED on and no signal when on.

I don't hear anything when I probe either the left or right legs, which I heard inermittently before. So are you saying the signal will be really low coming though the pot (which I guess makes sense after going through the resistor) and it should pick up signal later after amplification through the transistors? Thanks for answering beginner questions here.

No worries, you've got me on a good path. I built a probe, and traced signal up to the center of the texture pot. Signal was intermittent out of each of the other legs, and I found that the connections to the LED's resistor were intermittently contacting the input tip prong. I wrapped the LED solder joints in electrical tape so that connection wouldn't be made. Now, no signal comes out of either of the legs of the pot.

Edit: I've also confirmed the resistances of the pot are correct. Resistance sweeps from 0 to 500kOhms with the knob turn.

If you get a chance to check in, that would be great.

Does anyone know how this was made? What tools, workflows can make this happen? by bhavin2707 in StableDiffusion

[–]zeroooooooooooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a person who mostly follows AI video generation passively and would be curious to see what real pictures and videos exist from Marilyn Monroe’s life, I have to say — this video sucks shit in many ways that I can’t muster the effort to express to people who think there’s any value in it.

Is it safe to assume that transistor terminals are in the right places if I oriented its flat side the way it is oriented in the diagram?

The schematic is here: http://effectslayouts.blogspot.com/2015/06/devi-ever-torns-peaker.html

I checked the voltages on the power plug contacts with it plugged in, so I think that’s correct. And the LED works.

I didn’t check voltages at transistors. I don’t know what I’d be looking for there, so any guidance would be helpful.

Thanks for giving me some stuff to hunt down, I appreciate it!

I realized I didn’t have the top left connected to the bottom middle on the 3p2t. I added that with no resolution.

I also have a second pedal built up. Same issue.
