Instead of going to school and watching Jackie Chan movies, I spent three afternoons soldering components onto a perf board. The aftermath- It can result in a mess sometimes. After soldering, I moved on to the part where I usually disappoint myself — testing. Looks incomprehensible, right? It is! There’s […]

Thank you all for being here today to honour the life of our dearly departed NPN 2N3904 transistor. It’s hard to stand here, but I’m grateful for every current you amplified and for the times where I’d mixed your emitter and collector up. You were everything I could’ve asked for […]
After many rounds of testing (and soldering), I finally got the potties to work. First up: volume control. Going clockwise, the volume decreases. Going anticlockwise, the volume increases. It’s the most obvious out of the two. Next: gain control. This might be hard to tell. Potentiometers are technically called variable […]
The title is not what you think. Pots stand for potentiometers. I learnt a bit about them today. These little things are the knobs you turn to control the volume on an amp. I’m planning to add two pots in my pedal: a A100K one, for the volume control, and […]
I might know how to bake, but cooking is far more practical. It’s one of those essential life skills you absolutely need to learn. I’m lucky to have a mother that teaches me exactly that. On tonight’s wholesome menu —
A new book + A dumpster view! Here’s what’s to come: Skyworlds, game night, a Maggi Mee Hotcup breakfast, and a solemn trip home.
