Want to build an active direct injection box (D.I) - Page 2

Don't mean to be a jerk, but please stop requesting me to pass on a 20 year old schematic of no particular significance when 5 seconds with Google will get you more choices than you could ever build. The post was from 2005 when web resources were a little scarcer than now

If in doubt build this one, Rod Elliot's:

Whatever jackass! Nobody, that I saw, ever said it was a 20 year old schematic. An old magazine to me is a couple of months. Just ignore the thread if you don't want to answer. I did do several searches and I was trying to determine which I liked best.

I have had very good luck and very friendly help from this site and was looking for a little advice. I guess there's got to be one like you on every site. A simple "You probably don't want that one, it's very old" would have gotten your point across much better.

Wow, you've got some edginess!

I don't think its edgy bud, I think how you came across was uncalled for. It was a simple request that deserved a simple answer. Not everyone gets on a forum without doing their homework, I do a lot of reading and trying to understand something before I dive headlong into it. For you to imply that I don't or didn't was simply not necessary. And putting a smilie face after a rude comment doesn't make it not rude.

What's funny to me is that from where I stand, your last 2 posts are a lot ruder than what I wrote.

they write about this schematic:

Note that in some cases (especially with older equipment of US origin), pin 2 is 'cold' and pin 3 is 'hot'. This connection scheme is not recommended, and should not be used. The above is as close to an official standard as you will find, and should be used in all cases.

What does this actually mean? Something to care about?

What unit are the capacitors in?

Enzo · 8th March 2012, 08:37 AM

"uf" is microfarads

"nf" is nanofarads

"pf" is picofarads

1000pf is the same as 1nf

0.001uf is the same as 1nf

I would love a copy of that schematic if you have it still.
