I would have loved to have worked with you. Now retired, I'm happy to have found your videos and cheer, laugh, and thoroughly enjoy everything you decide to put up. Don't let anyone dictate what you make & share here. As you well know, tons of folks watch your vids hoping to rip off something they can monetize. So, just do your own thing, things that we smile at with you, enjoy the fun of the simple geek comraderie.

2020-01-13 20:25:29 +0000 UTCI use a short (1cm) silicone tube at the tip of the desoldering tools. Its elasticity helps a lot to get a much air tighter connection.
2020-01-13 20:24:11 +0000 UTCJust added a piezo mic to my favorite ukulele. Experimenting with pedal simulations before I pick one/some to buy. Are there any simulations for FranTone pedals? (Will SPICE sims of the circuits suffice?)

2020-01-12 14:54:24 +0000 UTCAs a musician, i would love to own one of your pedals. 😀
2020-01-12 14:49:50 +0000 UTCGreat repair video Fran, but I noticed your amp only goes up to 10. What do you do when you need that little bit extra?

2020-01-12 10:14:07 +0000 UTCThe "crowbar" is a neat circuit idea. I really need one of those de-soldering tools. Thanks Fran.
