Twenty-five albums you should probably check out. Number 18 might surprise you.

Just look at how clean that PCB etch came out. Guess I'm ordering parts to build a Wooly Mammoth pedal.

Mouser has the worst website. I get that you have eleventy billion items but narrowing it down to what you are actually looking for is needlessly impossible.

Got five boards with 15 pedal PCBs ready for etching. Several weird fuzz pedals, cab sim, filter, etc.
Now the hard part: build the BOMs and place an order for components.

Adventures in pedal building part 2: reprinted and etched the boards I made backwards. Learned I can very easily scrape the print off after etching with a razor blade. Much easier than toner transfer and scrubbing with acetone. I'll drill and cut them after I eat some food.

I've been toying with PCB etching for a bit now and I tried a new method. Instead of using glossy laser transfers I direct printed the copper with a UV printer. And it worked. The ink holds up to the etchant but can be removed with a fingernail.

Kid has a broken Tube Screamer. I tried to fix it. It's above my skillset to fix so I ordered up a PedalPCB Mean Green Metal Machine, fired up the art software, and got to printing. The finest resistors, caps, and transistors Tayda has to offer will be arriving soon...ish.

Time to play the "Shane messed up his parts order and needs four more of something imported between now and Thanksgiving. Can he pull it off?"

I'm sorry, getting a late start on #nonsensenovember. I'm going to try to post some new art nonsense this month. Might be 2D, 3D, auditory. Who knows.
