This will be slightly #geeky, and probably only of interest to #electronics hobbyists and #guitar players. I happen to sit in the intersection of that particular #Venn diagram.
When I was a teenager, having only been playing guitar for a few years, I owned a guitar #effects pedal that went on to become legendary - the Boss HM-2 "Heavy Metal" #pedal. Its sound is still ubiquitous in metal.
I don't have it any more. I think I traded it for an analog chorus, which was a seriously expensive pedal back then. Although I have other #distortion effects, I've missed it a lot over the years.
Well, lots of hobbyists build their own effects. And the circuit schematics for many effects, particularly the classics, are available online. So like many others, I decided to build my own HM-2.
This image is the schematic for the #HM2. It's not the most complicated pedal, but it's a league above something like an Ibanez Tube Screamer. As far as active devices go, it's got 6 #opamps and 10 #transistors of various types, along with a bunch of diodes for multiple types and stages of clipping, and the usual jumble of capacitors and resistors. Oh, and four potentiometers.

Smashing Magazine · Creating The “Moving Highlight” Navigation Bar With JavaScript And CSS — Smashing MagazineIn this tutorial, Blake Lundquist walks us through two methods of creating the “moving-highlight” navigation pattern using only plain JavaScript and CSS. The first technique uses the `getBoundingClientRect` method to explicitly animate the border between navigation bar items when they are clicked. The second approach achieves the same functionality using the new View Transition API.
We spend a lot of time talking about problems, effects, and causes. Sadly, we fixate on problems' effects rather than focus on their causes.

BLAG Meet: Inside Issue 06 is free, online, and features five hours of talks, interviews, studio visits, and demonstrations: https://bl.ag/meet.
We kick off with @matratype and her quest to learn and devise the language to describe letterforms on India’s vibrant signage. (See previous post here: https://typo.social/@matratype/114042322483513686.)
I'm excited to see where these investigations have led to, and how they're being incorporated into the India Street Lettering project.

The one end of the XLR cable, is plugged into one of my Bass effects, an overdrive
Continued thread
Here's the photograph with connector one at the end of the reduced XLR cable
Today I decided to create another patch cable, within my long line of patch cables, important for sending signals from effects, whether they be discrete analog effects, or effects which process the signal digitally, then spit them back out in an analog wave.
It was important to make this cable because I was using an expensive higher grade cable which I need somewhere else. The cable that I used is a standard XLR cable which has ground signal 1 and signal 2. You can go read on Wikipedia why XLR needs that in detail, but it has to do with the length of an XLR cable which can go to 30 m if you need it.
The signal that I need to carry only needs an unstable connection which means a signal and a ground. My XLR cable is een overkill but I don't have any other cable.
Enthusiastically I warmed up my trusted Weller soldering iron, waited till it heated up, took my fantastic cable stripper stripped the cable on both ends, prepared the connectors beforehand and started soldering.
Everything went smoothly I've been soldering since I'm a 7 year old kid. Of course quality control is important so my multimeter was tuned on diode.
For the uninformed, a diode is a electrical component which only lets current on one side, and then blocks it from the other side. This setting is also used to check the connections & continuity in cables and on ports.
When I was done something strange occurred. I measured the cable and the mass, the common was open. Checking both sides of the soldering work showed it was perfect. Not believing that there could be disruption in the cable, I stripped one side then measured the cable and came to the same conclusion broken Mass. I caught and stripped another small section of the cable at the other side and still an open Mass.
So I've had a piece of XLR cable, that didn't ground and I had used that as a stable cable, which had given me all kinds of interesting artifacts, that I alleviated by just stripping out that one piece of cable, years ago.
Now a regular person would take that cable and chunk it on the side. I on the other hand I'm not a regular person, I started stripping / dismantling radios when I was two and when I was five I had such a skill that it looked like a trained electronic professional had stripped the radio. Are we talking about radios in the Tube era, where hundreds & hundreds of Volts and many Ampères were going through those circuits.
XLR cable has three conductors; signal one, signal two and ground. I used the white conductor as the new Mass, the new ground and used the red conductor as a signal two, thus making a balanced XLR cable unbalanced because the ground conductor was broken.
It was a wonderful trip, taking this piece of XLR cable and reusing it again even though only two conductors were usable effectively.
I may provide photographs later.
Congratulations!

Yesterday, our long-standing team member Peter R. Slowinski successfully defended his doctoral thesis on dysfunctional #effects in #patent #enforcement. We wish him all the best for his upcoming projects! #ip #law
#gearsquad, I'm happy! I got myself a ToneX One amp modeler, which might be the solution to all live venue backline problems. It’s tiny, can be configured as distortion stompbox or two-channel preamp with optional cab-sim, and it can load custom tone models.
Today I captured my first model, my Friedman IR-X. And after loading it up and comparing them side by side, I can’t hear a difference. Great stuff. Now I can face all crappy backline amps that any venue throws at me.

I can't believe – or actually maybe it's not surprising – that the purveyors of the digital effects solutions think that an analog dry-through is unnecessary. And the most hilarious thing is that Eventide says I should buy a separate switcher to take the H90 out of the signal path if I really care that much. It's like, then why don't you just give your users the option???

new lil pedal video, looking at a couple of the new Trickfish pedals - the compressor and the overdrive preamp. Lovely stuff :)
Having my #Ibanez PUE-5 pedal board apart again... not to jinx it but it seems like a wee bit o' wigglin' & jigglin' (sorry for the technical jargon), plus some compressed air, might actually leave it more functional than before, assuming I manage to put it back together without incident 
**J'aimerais utiliser Tenacity plutôt qu'#Audacity pour mes projets audio-visuels (afin d'utiliser des applications 100% #libres). Le problème est que je ne retrouve pas les mêmes effets que sur Audacity, en particulier les #effets #Compresser et #Normaliser. Comment faire pour les retrouver (ceux-là et tous les autres) ? 
I'd like to use Tenacity rather than #Audacity for my audio-visual projects (to use 100% #free software). Problem : I can't find the same effects as on Audacity, specially the #Compression and #Normalization effects. How can I find these #effects (and all the others)?
