Careless Capacitor Calamity

May is more than half way over, and I'm on track with my builds for 2025. I recently put together my third for the month, an Englishman by Lovepedal clone. When I went to test it I quickly realized I had made a careless mistake. With the last three builds I've somehow managed to place an electrolytic capacitor in wrong. With each build I carefully went over the components and realized I was off by a singular spot each time. Once it was rectified the circuit worked perfectly. I'm not sure how I can place everything else perfectly fine, with the exception of one singular capacitor. And to have made the same mistake three times? I'm sure there is some kind of lesson to be learned in there somewhere.

I currently have 135 circuit builds completed, and an additional 13 to finish this year. This leaves me two builds away from my goal of 150 total builds since I started. I'm not going to count the 5F1 build as a built circuit, but I do know I've included some misc. things that might not be an effects pedal circuit. I'll deal with that when I get to it, because I may have to add a few more than just two builds to the schedule. I'm not sure exactly what I'll build to sure up those numbers, but something will cross my path. If I'm being honest I can't wait for this all to be done so I can go back through and troubleshoot the circuits from years ago that still don't work. All in due time. Onward we go! Until next time!
