They have enclosures and other electronic stuff not restricted to effects pedals, and they will sell you one resistor at a time if you want. It arrives quickly from Louisiana

I have a question. When I played a couple of CDs the Los Straightjackets (surf rock) and the Ronnie Earl (blues guitar) I was very dissapointed. These are ones I listen to a lot and enjoy but they seemed dingy for lack of a better term. There seemed to be a big difference between them and the other recordings. Do you think it was the room, the recording or what?

The Szekeres headphone amp would be a great start. Great for anybody who will use a MP3 player in their audio system.

The basic version only needs a resistor on the lower side (in place of lm317) I prefer the LM317 CCS. The panasonic caps I gave out are perfect for the output cap, 2-3 in parallel. The original amp has 470UF cap (IIRC). I can send some heatsinks,caps and resistors needed to everybody for this amp. I can also send you a really simple regulated supply that will also use the IRF610 mosfet. Just find a 12-15V wall wart rated for about 2-3amps. (old laptops, etc)

The Bride of Zen would be a great project that everybody could use..... I was looking at etching a PCB this week!

OK,

So, let's start with the IRF610/IRF9610 chips we picked up guys. If you are looking for a few very simple projects with them, here are a few:







All of these have several qualities that will make a first time builder a happy one.

A) low parts count! Heck, you got the IRFs for free.

B) medium/low voltage power supplies. Nothing that will kill you.

C) should be easy to wire since none of the components are tiny

Personally, I think I'm leaning towards the IRF610/J310 project. Looks fun and very simple. You could even run this on a simple wall wart and add further snubbing and filtering if you choose.

Yes Bill helping each other is the plan. I really formed this group so we could have a list of people who are qualified to solder your cross over parts.

just joking.........
