Mods for my Yamaha HS-8 Monitors

 Swapped the NJM4558 IC-s in every monitor with OPA1602 IC-s and also removed the limiter circuit.

Now, they don't push exaggerated mids that much, and are a little flatter. A little better for accurate mixing and monitoring.

HGE Contraptions 2nd Resistive Attenuator Build (161st "pedal" built)

 Yesterday I've finished the second attenuator clone of my first clone 🤣 (SPL Reducer).

Absolutely useful, even if only resistive, and didn't have to pay 800+ euro for the originals new 🫠😱

Now I can have my stereo setup with an attenuator per amp/w. two cabs each.

HGE Contraptions Vemuram TSV808 Clone (160th pedal built)

Excellent sounding pedal, here is a video take with this pedal on/off randomly, on a Crate Blue Voodoo 120 modded head, but in a lower gain setting of the amp, using my two Fender Stratocaster Custom HGE Build Projects,          first one from the start, and second one (at 9 min mark):

Specs:

• Original OPA2134 IC;
• Gorva Mechano soft actuating 3PDT True Bypass;
• Lumberg Japan Jacks and DC plug;
• Metal film quality resistors, caps are Nichicon lytics and various other good caps;
• Silver plated single core red telfon coated copper wiring;
• Quality Kester Eutectic 63/37 solder with good and aesthetically pleasing soldering;
• The two switches give a variety of diode combinations, subtle in part but can be combined in 4 ways;

Sounds awesome and works well. Handles about 200W max.

Will build a second identical one for my stereo setup.
