Re: Loopy LP8+ - an 8 loop audio switcher [documentation]
This looks great, and if I can see ahead to any time to build one I may order a PCB from you on eBay (assuming you have any left by then!).

Re: suhr backplate silent single coil
P90s have a lot of wire in them, so they need as large a cancelling coil as any single-coil you are likely to encounter. The fact that it is only one pickup doesn't make much difference to what you need either - pickups are usually selected in parallel, which gives (pretty much) the average of the s...

Re: "Fake" 2n5457
..Except that it encourages a race to the bottom in price: as no device can then be guaranteed to be of its 'rated' value, all devices must then be treated as suspect and the price (and margins) fall. This is very bad for the bottom line in the longer term, so the question is really whether the manu...

Re: Bare Foot Pedal(s)

I have myself picked up electronically dead...

Re: Board repair and fixing chips/cracks around components
Ice-9 is suggesting that you solder a piece of component lead from the (most appropriate) existing solder point to the spot where you need to solder in a replacement component. IE: replace the damaged track with a piece of wire. Sorry if that doesn't make it any clearer. I have done the same when re...

Re: Hinged Pedal Enclosures
Your enclosures look brilliant, and you have obviously put a lot of thought into the design! Like most posters so far, I am not sure I can justify spending so much for an enclosure and switch when I would normally get both for $10 - $15, but the cost does seem justified for such a complex item in lo...

Re: "max" volume for a pedal and input/output imedences
Regarding voltage - the maximum 'acceptable' voltage depends on what the voltage source is pushing it into and what sound you want. What will be clipped in the following circuit (and whether that sounds good) is largely up to the next thing in line. There are plenty of pedals that use an 18V supply ...

Re: Oscilloscope Probes

Re: Awesome power supply for peanuts
I think I placed the order in December. If they are discontinued, that is a shame, as it seems to be really good for the price. If you want to build something equivalent and you are comfortable working with mains power, R.G. Keen has an article on building a multi-isolated-output power supply (which...

Re: Plastikote Paints Issue
If you did the coats in fairly quick succession, you will find that the base coats will still be rubbery/soft after the top coats have dried. Thus any hard pressure/impact will cause the base coats to 'give' underneath the top coats. You may simply need to give it more time for the base coats to exp...

Re: Toner transfer as pseudo screen print?
I have had a few more tries with this on powdercoated Pedal Parts Plus boxes. The results have been mixed - it always leaves the paint matt in places, but some finishes come up pretty well if a clear coat is added over the top. The worst problem is using press+peel blue leaves blue traces in the fin...

Re: baking wet paint or clear coat in a toaster oven
Dr Nomis, would you mind sharing the brand name of your spray clear? I have had bad experiences with clear coats so far - I have tried two, one crazes when it dries (which looks quite cool sometimes, but weakens the finish and leads to flaking) and the other tends to develop fisheye and other incons...
