I'm thinking about doing a simple preamp with a volume and a tone knob.  No EQ stack, just tone.  I think I could do a simple TL071 circuit to do it along with a tone setup from a big muff pi or something.

Thanks 

I'll pack it up today and ship it out tomorrow morning, Priority mail.  And as for the questions, thats what we are here for  :tu:

Feel free to tell your friends about us here as well!

Just paypal me $5 to joseph.raymond@umit.maine.edu and I will ship it out tomorrow morning.

I have 2 more LM3886 kits available, someone who wants one, speak up!

That slide thing at the beginning?  If thats what you are talking about, that was the big thing making me not want to watch the rest lol.  That and I'm busy getting ready for my brother's graduation.

Sounds like maybe a light phaser to me.  I only listened to a minute or so though.  I'm not a big metallica fan, and on top of that it wasn't that great of a live performance.  The yellow guitar is a telecaster btw.

Yes you will want to break them apart.  You don't want the power super close to the amp section, you will get hum.  Plus the amp section can be hung off the heatsink via the LM3886 without problems, thats how I did mine.  As far as heatsinking the LM3886 while soldering, I wouldn't bother, it can take a ton of heat.  Unless you REALLY stink at soldering, it won't be a problem.  If you are worried, do a couple pins, let it cool, then do some more.

Did it come in alright?  I would have sent you some solder with the iron, but I'm running out myself.

K.  I'll mail it out as soon as I get the money order in.

I should hope so 

Nice, build reports are always good!  Feel free to ask any questions you may have when you are putting it together.  I didn't print out a manual for you, but you can get it at chipamp.com

The money came in and I shipped it out.  It's in the mail, priority.

Cool.  I got it all boxed up, as soon as the money comes in I'll ship it out.

I should note that I will be away tomorrow and thursday, back on friday and gone on saturday.  After all that I will be back for a while.

Rockin'!  Is that going to be the correct shipping address on his paypal?  If not, go ahead and either email me or PM me the right shipping address.

Consider it yours.  As soon as you paypal me the $5 for the LM3886 I will ship it out all together.
