Teh Futuresailors is retarded thread/ halp wit teh snowflake

[D3rP]

Well, in the description it says this "Taper: Linear", so I am assuming that they are.


Don't know much about pots, but those are 10k linear.

[McSpunckle]

Those look fine. I kind of want to try them. Conductive plastic element, and cheaper than the typical Alpha pot. Gotta wonder if they're any good.

[futuresailors]

I'll let you know when I wire them up. And by let you know I mean probably change this thread again to "How the fuck do finish this?"

On a related note, that zvex guy's a dick. $300 for 12 internal components...

[D3rP]

lol, you can't put a price on dreams!


(It did come to him in a dream, right? I can't remember this shit.)

[McSpunckle]

Imma put a couple in my next Mouser order. This might be awesome! They look promising...

But with conductive plastic, you need to be extra careful. Avoid soldering to the case (good practice anyways), and try to solder fast. The stuff messes up easier than carbon durring soldering, but it lasts 10 times as long.

yay new question! see first post pl0x0rz

Umm...
loud buzzing + no signal going through = ?



green wire> tip of input jack
black wire> tip of output jack
grey wire> pow on pcb
ground from power>sleeve of input
ground from pcb> sleeve of output

there's no solder bridges. and the little cutout on the IC mount is on the right and the words are rightside up on the chip.

wai u no werk snowlflake?

did you flip the ic just for the hell of it?
cause this one looks liek the spot thingie on the ic is the other way around.
the only other hting i can think of is checking that your battery isnt ded.

[smile_man]

yeah dog, yr ic is facing the wrong way.

[futuresailors]

lulz

well now with it switched around I get loud buzzing and a super compressed poopy signal and then nothing when engaged...

[D3rP]

Have you checked the orientation of all of the caps and diodes, I believe there was a mistake in the build helper thing on the orientation of something.

[tuffteef]

the power of song ladies and gentleman and the answer cometh

Yep, they're all in right as per the instruction sheet.

But shouldn't my bypassed signal get through?
