Claybridge - (pre-) Fuzzmaster

"... indeed a PRE-Fuzzmaster, Claybridge Sound Systems Fuzz Box! Everything was matching up: the two controls, the 15ft lead (or output cable), the sticker on the side that read the earliest name of the company; it was all there. ...

two major details jumped out as being definitive proof of its validity: A. The small white knobs used on this "prototype" were also found on a legitimate v1 Fuzzmaster, in addition to appearing on the original Fuzzmaster ads! B. The same label-maker seemed to be used on the MKIV Fuzzmasters!

... the circuit is completely encapsulated in an opaque epoxy resin. This is not unlike the infamous "brick" inside of an Ampeg Scrambler, and also not any less of a kick in the stomach for pedal nerds like myself. That initial disappointment aside, what is notable about the guts is that the enclosure seems entirely too small to hold a true Fuzzmaster circuit (which is essentially a 2 transistor fuzz that's smashing a treble booster). So even though this pedal matches most of the details described in the May 16th ad, I can't see how it would be possible to fit both the "improved" fuzz circuit and the "inbuilt treble boost" into such a tiny space. The other thing to note are the components we can see, like the two resistors and that big yellow cap hiding below the wires. Including the pots, jack and switch, everything matches up pretty well with a 1966 release. So, let's see how it sounds. ... [long fuzzologic description of the pedals sound, read here] ... No joke, and hyperbole aside, this is one of the best fuzz pedals I have ever heard. "

re: wooden bathtubs, there's a couple ways you can make wooden vessels watertight & protect the wood itself from the water (two different things!). none are 100% effective & eventually the wood will decay. easiest modern way to deal w/ both problems simultaneously is to encapsulate the wood in petroleum-based plastic of some kind (polyurethane varnish, epoxy resin), which basically removes the wood from the equation altogether except as a structural member (until the plastic fails from UV exposure, wear, stress, etc). you can of course also completely coat the wood in something like tar or paint, which act similarly, but then you lose the natural wood look, so we'll put those options aside.

other options are generally going to involve separating the goals of "protect wood from water" and "seal container", and will rely on the properties of the wood itself. when wood is wet, it absorbs water, which causes the fibers to swell. if a piece of wood is already closely pressed against other pieces of wood on both sides before getting wet, that swelling will make the seam VERY tight - almost perfectly watertight. (of course, this swelling also induces warping & distortion into the wood depending on the pattern of the grain, which needs to be planned for so the pieces of wood don't push each other out of alignment.)

however, most wood doesn't like being wet all the time and will start to rot pretty quickly, so you need to pick a kind of wood that won't do that, at least not on the timescale you're planning. depending on the kind of liquid you're planning on putting into the vessel (salt vs fresh water, different concentrations of alcohol, different acidities/alkalinities, amount of UV exposure, temperature, oxygen exposure), different woods do better or worse. for example, there are oaken foundation piers continually submerged in wet boggy soil in england that are close to a thousand years old. willow i believe is supposed to do well with long-term water exposure (think of the riverbank environments they normally grow in). cedar in particular is naturally permeated with lots of resins & oils that make it very resistant to rot - i would guess that the redder of the wooden baths in that picture is cedar.

also, vessels with continual water exposure usually do better at being watertight than ones that dry out & are refilled - when they dry out, the wood shrinks and the seams literally open up, causing leaks until they rehydrate.

this is so interesting and im in awe and i love you for giving such a detailed answer to my impromptu question

LED electronic display production process

As a new type of efficient and energy-saving display equipment, LED electronic display has been widely used in advertising media, traffic guidance, information propaganda, command and dispatch, security monitoring and other fields. With the rapid development of the economy, LED electronic display plays an increasingly important role in the development of modern cities. In order to help customers choose satisfactory products, it is particularly important to understand its production process. This article will introduce the production process of LED electronic display in detail.

LED electronic display chip inspection

The first step in the production process is to conduct a strict inspection of the LED chip to check whether there is mechanical damage, pitting and pitting on the surface of the material, and ensure that the chip size and electrode size meet the process requirements and the electrode pattern is complete. Take you to understand LED chips: technology, application and development.

LED display expansion

Since the LED chips are closely arranged after dicing and the spacing is small, it is not conducive to subsequent operations. Therefore, it is necessary to use a film expander to expand the film of the bonded chip so that the spacing of the LED chip is stretched to about 0.6mm to facilitate the operation of subsequent processes. Do you know how LED chips emit light?

LED glue dispensing

Apply silver glue or insulating glue to the corresponding position of the LED display bracket. For substrates of different materials and LED chips of different colors, select the corresponding colloid. The control of the amount of glue dispensing is a difficult point in the process, and the height of the colloid and the dispensing position need to be precisely controlled.

LED glue preparation

The glue preparation is to pre-apply silver glue to the back electrode of the LED, and then install the LED with silver glue on the back on the LED bracket. The efficiency of glue preparation is much higher than glue dispensing, but it is not applicable to all products.

LED manual puncture

Place the expanded LED chip on the fixture of the puncture table, place the LED bracket under the fixture, and use a needle to puncture the LED chips one by one to the corresponding position under a microscope. Manual puncture is suitable for products that need to install multiple chips.

Automatic mounting of LED large screens

Automatic mounting combines the two steps of glue application and chip installation. First, silver glue (insulating glue) is applied to the LED bracket, and then the LED chip is sucked up and moved with a vacuum nozzle, and then placed on the corresponding bracket.

LED sintering

The purpose of sintering is to solidify the silver glue, and the temperature needs to be monitored to prevent batch defects. The temperature of silver glue sintering is generally controlled at 150°C, and the sintering time is 2 hours.

LED pressure welding

The purpose of pressure welding is to lead the electrode to the LED chip and complete the connection of the internal and external leads of the product. There are two types of pressure welding processes for LED display screens: gold wire ball welding and aluminum wire pressure welding. It is necessary to monitor the shape of the pressure welding gold wire (aluminum wire) arch wire, the shape of the solder joint, and the tension.

LED sealing

The packaging of LED electronic display screens mainly includes three types: glue application, potting, and molding. The difficulties in process control are bubbles, multiple missing materials, and black spots. The design is mainly about the selection of materials, and the selection of epoxy and brackets with good combination. What is the difference between CSP and COB LED chips?

LED curing and post-curing

Curing refers to the curing of the encapsulating epoxy. Generally, the epoxy curing condition is 135℃ for 1 hour. Post-curing is to fully cure the epoxy and thermally age the LED.

LED cutting and dicing

Since the LED display screen is connected together during production, a dicing machine is required to complete the separation work.

LED testing

Test the optoelectronic parameters of the LED, check the external dimensions, and sort the LED electronic display screen products according to customer requirements.

LED electronic display screen packaging

Count and package the finished products. Ultra-bright LEDs require anti-static packaging.

The above is the entire process of LED display screen production.
