#mackie m1400i #poweramp repaired for a diversely downhome dude @davidreedwatson one of the coolest folks i met at @radiovegasrocks#🎛#🎚 this fella fortunately had a couple parts in the temp protection circuit that commonly fail which people reported on several message boards, so i had a lucky time.
unbalanced ins n outs added to my @tcelectronic m one – now its not just a magic cave in a box, its also a di! thanks @ozziepresents for today’s subject device
#diy #delay #effects for homie @isthevatican to spit drama through on our upcoming #psychedelicmusic with stereo xlr and an effects loop/di to preamp his other effects too! It’s basically a premade ebay board for a chip commonly used in karaoke machines, crammed in a box that a Sony ActionCam was sold in.
really wanted a cool #compass to make us feel like we have a #TimeTravelCar . Learned a lot about setting something aside and coming back to it, because we did not know how to use a #magnetometer to hilarious folly. also a lesson in perseverance. so amazing to be able to make something with an #oled display, although admittedly not on that samsung…

lesser-known #speakandspell rival #1986 #vtech #TalkingWizKid lets you play it’s games without any card behind its primitive but forward-thinking ‘touch screen’ by using the Code button + 2 numbers. Code 45 for example is piano mode, 46 is a music game etc. i turned the power jack into a speaker jack and added a boss-style barrel jack. (totally reversible…

The Mythical Burr Brown Mod + the Legendary Tape Op Mod. #DaftPunk ’s secret weapon, the #Alesis #teardown tour continues with the historic and misunderstood #3630 #compressor. Circa my grad year 2001. Nowadays people tend to shun this box as a noisy knockoff of the similar dbx unit, but it’s low prosumer price made it a staple of the…

today’s #teardown tour is the 2011 @goldenageprojectofficial #preq73 #mic #preamp #🎛 this fella had hum at all settings. message boards pointed to the #lm317 but i also found a broken solder joint on a cap, and replaced the big #capacitor which bulged for some people, but that #voltageregulator was the real culprit, tell your friends. turns out this part worked hard enough to require a…

#dr202 now outputs a sync pulse compatible with #pocketoperator#volca and my recent looper sync mod. new backlight beatcounter defaults to the kind of orange you expect in 1998, but slowly color drifts when stopped. but how? #digispark used to sense the voltage change when the light behind the play button blinks.
#tiny #diy #dibox with real isolation transformer! for #circuitbent toys with loud n noisy speaker jacks. #furby / #speakandspell / TI85 calc sampler etc. remote knob thing courtesy @chrr1ss . same military surplus transformer used to cushion the output on the Timex synth seen previously.
#diy #LED #photolight with #blacklight #upcycled from an old halogen. (thanks @chrr1ss) basically cheap flashlight guts, quite a lucky fit. i’m saving the reflectors though because it’s tempting to put some 5-watt leds in there, but i actually need this light dimmer than my other one. also #usb power is handy. don’t use straight 5v though, it’s a bit much.
