    The Final Act

    if allied didnt have a spaghetti site, they'd be my go to due to location ... anything i order will be in hand the next day, even at the cheapest rates. You, being on the other side of the northern boarder, probably couldn't justify most hobby quantity orders from most US houses. You DO however...

    The Final Act

    We need to get you hooked up with a good Canadian parts house. I find some stuff on Amazon. It's better than RadioShack ever was, but still not 420 pages of opamps good.

    Gadet Geocache - lock not tripping

    standard issue 1n4003 diode should work .... MOSFET ... IRLZ14 is my random stab at it for about a buck each. I'm sure others have other go to N channels that'll do just as well

    Gadet Geocache - lock not tripping

    I draft these things in LT Spice, so some parts look odd (its a simulator, not an illustrator) but your application will look a bit like this.

    Gadet Geocache - lock not tripping

    You might want to think about using the switches to feed into the gate of a MOSFET. That would solve all your low current switch issues as well as the high current latch problem

    Vibration Sensor

    I think he answered your question in the first portion of his initial response. He described the sensors operating principles, and how it's sensitivity is neither sensitive, nor adjustable. Then he went on to offer alternatives that are sensitive as well as adjustable. I have to give him an A...

    yeah ... its just a function of getting consistent in that part of the craft. Keep a wet sponge in a dish at your work bench. Drag the tip across that to clean it and remove the great whacking gobs of solder that plague you. After that, it get pretty easy to achieve 107% success rate

    well, this one might be more your jam anyhow .... the quardafuzz rack distortion. Its essentially 4 of what you've already done with the added element of high, low, band pass filters, mixing and effects loops. it's at least worthy of analysis and discussion...

    Now thats no way to get in over your head. If you read between the lines of my thoughts on the tube head schematic a few posts back, you'll see me use terms like "springboard". This is possible because I broke these things down into tangible, bite sized pieces I can work with. You can, and...

    Yes, and a wonderful thing to see. Since the fall of Heathkit, the market is starved for kits that do something more than make an LED blink. Any oasis we might find is to be celebrated and cherished

    There she be. Strikingly similar to the tube mic pre by the same company. I suspect it will make a good overdrive / boost as drawn. It should also serve as a springboard for other designs since it is a two channel design, using two tubes. These could be used in series with a marshall or fender...

    I used have a cat that'd lay atop my bargain basement 1X12 solid state combo amp for the warmth ... and rip the knobs off then look at me like "what". Since then, I transitioned to tube fired amps and use circuits like these for not much more than a means to push the amp harder with a clean...
