I have those too and I replaced the spring with something stiffer as soon as I got them. Erem doesn't offer any true needle-nose, though. Closest thing are long chain nose. They do have an internal spring. I opened one up yesterday to have a look and they appear high quality. I bought mine on...

$475 for a pedal?

I absolutely HATE it when I'm treated like crap by businesses. I've experienced it with car shops/garages, guitar shops, gun shops, you name it... When you're having something custom done like this, every little thing matters. I really just listen. That's all there is to it. You told me what you...

Dude, I'm thrilled you like it! Your amp came out great. Thank you again for putting your trust in me.

Yes and no. These are manufactured/marketed for the microelectronics and medical industries. I think the jewelry makers sort of adopted them.

Dope amp.

Just got a few of these bad boys from Erem (Weller). The quality is ridiculous. I've heard other says theirs are still going strong after 20+ years. Got a lead straightener, another cutter, and some needle nose on the way too.

@Fusionbear 's build. I like the tones at 1:45

Skervesen are more expensive than a Duvell... They are also a pain to deal with. I recently tried ordering a custom shop Skervesen and gave up out of frustration and ordered a Mayo. The way they (Skerv) communicates leaves a lot to be desired. They lost two sales from me just because of their...

TC Electronic or Strymon

I love mine as well. I played LP Customs for years (and wish I kept one). But after getting a few Mayos, off they went. I've had a bunch as well. Still have my Duvell Elite 6 Master Builder and have a custom shop order in progress.

You asked about 50uF caps. That is a 40uF. I included some 47uF in my first post because those are all close enough. But going from 50 down to 40 is a big enough jump.

I've always wanted to try 'em but never have.

Right. I can't. I'm saying I'd rather focus on other things that I can control. I've used and continue to use both ARS and F&T with equally good results.

Nice playing! Sounds great. I had one of these for a bit and it sounded pretty good but it was just too complicated for me to dial in. I wound up constantly playing with the knobs and switches instead of playing guitar.

I'm simply saying I prefer to be able to intentionally tune something rather than relying on chance/luck. I'm using the hot shield as an example to make my point.

Sure. I understand. But isn't it a bit like using a "hot shield" method on a grid wire? Can you do that to create a low-pass filter in conjunction with the tube's Miller capacitance? Yes. But you have no way of intentionally tuning the cut-off. I'd rather use an actual capacitor, whose value I...

They're polypropylene, which in my experience lends a harder edge to the amp's sound compared to polyester. My go-to are typically MKT 1813.

I don't think I've ever seen someone tout the benefits of AC ripple on the B+ rail before haha
