In this video I talk about why I like to use point-to-point soldering or "deadbug" for my early prototypes.

You are a monolithic superlative. And king of the thrifty. Beautiful case, beautiful video, and beautiful sounds. So organized. You make me happy to be alive, and proud of my humanity. Not a great many people really make me proud of my humanity but no lies you are something else. Edit: I’m sure that I saw this at an art show or else heard someone else make this suggestion, also a friend of mine wanted me to do a p-2-p build for him. And he requested that it be encapsulated in epoxy resin. I’m still uncertain as to whether that’s a very worthwhile endeavor since components can always go bad and the different materials will still stress especially if you like loud, vibrating setups!

Aww thank you so much! That's such a nice thing to say. Re: coating stuff in epoxy, I'd be concern with heat dissipation. But it sounds like a fun experiment!

Very fast and easy construction technique, your system is much like circuit sculpture and is very clean and elegant. If one wants to be a bit sloppier and faster, I like using cyanoacrylate to very quickly glue down components upside-down so I can solder to their leads without much fiddling with a third hand. Have you ever tried "Manhattan style" circuits? I still see those on a lot of older homebuilt equipment. Who needs PCBs for short run or one-off production?
@benjiaomodular
@benjiaomodular 18 днів тому
Thank you very much! I looked up Manhattan-style and wasn't disapppinted. That looks pretty in it's own way too. Probably sturdier. Thanks for the tip about CA glue as well, i should probably try that with some circuits if I need things to be more rigid. Cheers man!

Do you know of any references to which PCB Fab options fit what purpose so I (we) know which are frivolous or not? I am rebuilding my 'design (copy what works for others more like - Don Lancaster's "Active Filter Cookbook" got me smarter how to approach the concept.) & build' space here for the past few years, attempting to reduce my radically increased Gear Acquisition Syndrome since the lock-down began and apparently never ends. Buying all four Eventide Factor Stompboxes is my trigger to get a Stereo/Mono/CV 8/16 Ins by 16 Outs Matrix Mixer built, though the Erica looks tempting. I am glad that I've been ADHD putting it off for so long. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bumped into the simplicity of using Attenuverters instead of Switches for Polarity. MegaThanks For Your Inspirations plural!!!

Hey! First of all, thanks for the kind words. And that design & build space rebuild sounds like a fun project! About your question regarding pcb fab options, for modular synths and pedals, I really almost exclusively use PCBWay's default settings (FR4, 1.6mm) except for surface finish where I use HASL lead free. Is this what you meant by options? Or were you planning on making the PCBs in-house?

Welcome back! Just one question - what would you say are the disadvantages of dead bug builds?
@benjiaomodular
@benjiaomodular 18 днів тому
Heyyy thanks! That sounds like another video idea. Haha. Here are some points off the bat: - It's tricky to debug and repair more complex builds, especially if you don't document your mods properly - Builds are more fragile, especially when they're outside the case

Happy to see you again ! What a big case, which power supply did you put in there, only one for this big ? Another question, which wire do you use to build like this ? Looks like you have very straight nude wire ?
@benjiaomodular
@benjiaomodular 19 днів тому
Thanks! I'm glad to be back. I plan to power it with a single MeanWell RT125B. I still haven't filled it up completely, so we're yet to see how it holds up

I figured you'd be tired of soldering after getting all those power boards done :). What do you use for wire when parts leads are not enough or not strong enough?

@benjiaomodular 18 днів тому
Haha! I'm glad I don't have to do that again anytime soon. I use solid 22AWG tinned copper wire. I just recently found out you can buy them without the shielding ph.rs-online.com/web/p/copper-wire/0355079

Do you have any builds for small biquadratic bandpass filters with high range q parameter on both sides? I cannot find a bandpass filter in my budget that I can afford three or four of. This would help me immensely in a signal processing project.
@benjiaomodular
@benjiaomodular 6 днів тому
Hey! I'm afraid I don't. It's on the list though. You could try to look for AS3350 circuits. I'm pretty sure it has a Q control built in

@@benjiaomodular I will take a look. I am specifically trying to split ambient noise into controlled bands to process elsewhere. Do you have anywhere we can chat outside UKposts comments? I am new to hardware but have several hundred hours in VCV Rack.
