Judging by the number of projects you're taking on, the number of products you offer on your store, and the rate at which you upload videos, I can only assume that you're working, like, nonstop. Kind of insane but seriously impressive!
Just removed the 5W 27R resistor going to pin five heater pin on my look mum no computer GMSN safety valve PCB and it's working batter than ever! I just snipped the leads of the resistors and soldered them together. So glad I watched this video.
As a lifelong doodler myself, I am impressed by your table artwork! (One of these days I might get around to doing a caricature of you). Anyway, thanks for issuing another interesting video, including your Chewbacca impression.
The museum is starting to look so nice! It's very inspiring to see you work so hard, very much respect! This video made me wonder about a mixer with safety valves, might be amazing to mix drums with. Definitely going to try that :)
I often see people do distortions in series, but I’m more curious of what would happen if you ran them in parallel and with different settings. Like a distorted natural chorus type of a thing.
Aaaah, use a socket for that tube! Replacing it when it fails is going to be a real pain. Plus, using a socket means never applying solder temperatures to it.
I am building the erica swamp and it's recommended to use a 10 ohm resistor if you don't have a ferrite bead or just wire it, thanks for confirming in this build as well.
Your museum gonna be great because you live synthesizers like i "know" none other and show it to the public. I really enjoy your content so much. I wish university classes in my Bachelor where like that I think i would have been so much more fun and I probably would have learned more.
That sounds AMAZING. And it's the first time I've ever seen ANYBODY tout the self-oscillation as a feature. I wonder if putting something inductive between them would have an effect? 👍
remember a time when going to a nightclub was a thing before it was outlawed by Covid lol 9:23 was what it sounded like at the beginning of the evening, and 9:40 is when you knew it was closing time and everything for the next 6 hours sound like that lol
ISO shorting the 27R resistor you can install a NTC. this protects the valve from flashing during cold powerup and still offers low resistance for max filament heat. This trick was done in valve based TV-sets.
10 sounded pretty sweet. id love to see someone play a set and every so often plug in another one and another till at the end all 10 are just making the crunchiest sounds fade off to just that epic glitchy dying sound.
I want to buy a shirt with doodles just like your table art. You are awesome Sam. Needs to say....Don't be scared to try it. Black with silver sharpie would be so cool.
I never clicked so fast. Sounds bitchin', like a growling hellcat. I really wish you would make Eurorack versions of all your PCBs and Panels. I've been wanting to make one of your safety valve versions for so long now.
Wish I had a jet; I’d love to visit the museum... but I’m in California and really don’t want to spend the better part of a day crammed into a commercial airliner. Yet another thing to build... 😉
Watching all those valves light up in a row, reminded me of that scene from Forbidden Planet near the end of the film with the Krell's super machine drawing as much power as it could :-D Awesome.
You should have a pan knob on them to make a wide AF stereo field & Wet/Dry, in parallel. Be nice to have a range of saturated distorted and driven all over the place.
That reminded me of that meme where the guy is looking through a microscope at a board to identify wood and he’s just like yup it’s definitely wood lol.
Directly soldering the valves makes micro-cracks in the glass surrounding the pins from thermal expansion and as a result the valve can slowly lose the vacuum and fail early.
The pins on a 9-pin valve are actually made of a special metal alloy, that has about the same expansion/contraction coefficient that glass has, this is so that there's a good metal-to-glass seal around the pin so that no air can leak into the valve, this means that there's very little likelihood of micro-cracks occurring in the glass, consider this....when a valve is operating normally both the internal metal electrodes, heater-filament, and the glass envelope gets hot anyway, whether the valve is soldered onto a circuit-board, or mounted in a socket.
Great Video! But why didn‘t you use sockets for the tubes? (for example to try out different tube types (ecc83, ecc81, ecc82 etc.) for different gain structures)
I'm pretty sure that for the Doom 2016 OST, Mick Gordon was messing with setups like this of stuff feeding back on itself and creating interesting and unique sounds to use in the arrangements.
It does not get to full operating temp also having toured with 2 types of this safety valve for 3 years the socket one has been problematic and the soldered one has been fine. It's fine. If it was gunna be cooking yes. But in this module it isn't a problem
been watching for a month or two now, im not really sure what kosmo is. i know its the big case, but is it also referring to the module set up? is it sam's own format or am i missing something? searched google and cant find any good info
@@thomasgauntt Thanks, I was wondering what "Kosmo" format was! So, almost an inch shorter than 5U and a little over an inch taller than 4U (Serge and Buchla), and a little over 2.5" taller than eurorack of course. While doing your own one-off format is fun and even cool, I can't imagine any advantages of not sticking with long established formats for panel sizes? Why would anyone besides Sam want to use this format?
They live longer than capacitors? Having soldered and also socketed valves for a number of years touring with valves. They have come loose from sockets.and the soldered ones just keep working. This isn't getting hot and will outlive the electronics around it.

One day you'll laugh your ass off if you look back at this video, where you mention "finishing" the MOEE.
I do know my wood and yes you are correct. That is wood.
I personally won't be convinced until the Waterjet channel guy does the lick test.
Wewd?
Yep, it’s wood.
To be fair, some materials are woodier than others. But this material’s woodiness is unquestionably on the woodiest end of the spectrum.
i wood like to confirm that. 😂

I always love your narration when putting your builds together.
That thing is so gritty and raw in self-oscillation mode, you could make a sick noise album just using that and nothing else
I was thinking the same hehe.

Gameboy megamachine has it. Just a more mixable sound. Not chorusey mind :) still beats and ohases
Aaaah, use a socket for that tube! Replacing it when it fails is going to be a real pain. Plus, using a socket means never applying solder temperatures to it.
Think of how amazing that is , you've created a new standard in modular gear . You sir are a miracle of motivation and innovation . Keep going!!
You say you procrastinate but damn you get a lot done week by week :-)
My man turned his procrastination activities business, that's all
Those yellow PCBs are beautiful!
That filament amperage requirement gets a little wild when you get to a large amount of tubes, doesn't it?
That looks epic, excellent work!
This is stretching the definition of "saturation" to uncomfortable levels.
I dig it.
9:48 for a second there I braced myself for Justice - Waters of Nazareth
I like the idea of a giant calculator. Looking good, it's really a beautiful machine.
Structurally sound, the wooden rack certainly is. That looks solid!

That guitar tone!!! bloody hell :o ))))))
“I was going to build a hundred of them, but it’s a little bit overkill.” Who are you and what have you done to LMNC?!?
Listening to this 10 is overkill
I know each to their own and all that, but I'm glad you didn't use blue LEDs behind the valves
Love your attitude and project design.
8:17 so I finally figured out what those guys in my counter strike lobbies are running their mics through
Amazing as always
Wanna go to the Museum asap when it open

Getting some real Merzbow vibes over here. Awesome!
Beautiful Noise!
It definitely makes some sick noises. I love it! I heard some nice riddim bass coming out a few times.

Well it's modular that's what using it with other modules is for.
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER Good point. I can't wait to visit your museum! I am eventually going to build my own modules when I get some time.
Thanks for the demo, it broke my speaker now
8:51 This is what a Disaster Area sound check sounds like (only 1,000,000,000 times louder).
You mean 90dB louder?
@@mzflighter6905 I suppose, haha! Although shouldn't that be 180dB if we're talking about sound pressure?
True brilliant.
nice to see your videos♥️
Definitely going to England now.
That reminded me of that meme where the guy is looking through a microscope at a board to identify wood and he’s just like yup it’s definitely wood lol.
It's the cover of a book called "Identifying wood".
Directly soldering the valves makes micro-cracks in the glass surrounding the pins from thermal expansion and as a result the valve can slowly lose the vacuum and fail early.
Well I have one from 7 years ago and still going strong time will tell I guess. These tubes do not get up to full operating temperature anyway
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER You have made 10 identical so keep us posted with the health of that modules in the future.
The pins on a 9-pin valve are actually made of a special metal alloy, that has about the same expansion/contraction coefficient that glass has, this is so that there's a good metal-to-glass seal around the pin so that no air can leak into the valve, this means that there's very little likelihood of micro-cracks occurring in the glass, consider this....when a valve is operating normally both the internal metal electrodes, heater-filament, and the glass envelope gets hot anyway, whether the valve is soldered onto a circuit-board, or mounted in a socket.
I know it doesn't matter which way round the resistors go but my OCD says which ever way you choose they all have to be the same!!!
You achieved death industrial/ power electronics sound.
Good
First!! Love your projects and your personality. Anything with Vacuum tubes gets a like from me :)
LOL. That chubaka sound.
i saw this on your instagram this morning and i sat there waiting for this gold. Keep up the amazing work sam! :3
Hey you should run a 9-10 way crossover before the safety valves and make a multi-band distortion unit.
Great Video! But why didn‘t you use sockets for the tubes? (for example to try out different tube types (ecc83, ecc81, ecc82 etc.) for different gain structures)
Because for this module it's pointless. The ax7 is good. I have a socket one and it's problematic on tour
Could you find the brown note with that beauty ?
I like the Rat scratching wub wub...Great stuff!
Not far from the Metasonix sound! :-D Cool!
Doing the lords work
This video: EXISTS..
Every Software VST distortion ever: ..BUT 😭😭😭💔
I'm pretty sure that for the Doom 2016 OST, Mick Gordon was messing with setups like this of stuff feeding back on itself and creating interesting and unique sounds to use in the arrangements.
Suggestion: I would have used vacuum tube sockets, for easy replacement.
There exist various types of them, pretty much like IC sockets.
Reasons for not using them explained on the site
Magic smoke. 👍🏻😂🤣

That procrastination doodle will be worth millions in a hundred years or so.
You have confirmed that more isn't always more gooder.
I fell asleep to my watch later playlist and everything was going well until this video’s 8:20 mark.
This is Awesome!!!
Just before it started breaking up, maybe 4 modules in, it sounded fucking glorious.
you are such a cool guy .... like to do a splashi vid with you to the soundtrack of modern gas ;-)
8:44 Jesus fuck... That's beyond even Uncle Al Jourgensen vocal distortion!
What about running in parallel or a combination? Like 1+2+3+3 or something?
Hey sam! What software have you been designing your PCBs in? I have been looking for a vaccum tube footprint and i cant find one anywhere.
Bought a safety valve. One day I will build it. One day.
I get the feeling that LMNC likes the Korg MS-20
LOL this dude is the doc and Marty McFly all in one ! xD
Every time I see these thumbnails, my eyes are like "AWESOME"
But then I click it and my ears are like "AWFUL"
hoping you get these modules back in stock soon as really keen to build a couple for my rig!
Restocking on Monday :)
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER HOLY SHIT BALLS THATS EXCITING!!!
10:12 I actually liked that
Do you think, there is a way to biuld it for 0-5V?
I remember such calculator models🖤 spooky glow in the dark, welcome to the world of Fallout☣
Please use tube sockets! Tubes are not meant to be soldered! The heat can stress the vacuum seals on the pins leading to eventual leakage.

Nice to know how they sound chained....you are The mad scientist of sound. Would you talk about vocal chain for zebra chlorine sometime.
Should really use sockets for the tubes. Either the friction pin sleeves, or the discreet style. Especially tubes are component with finite life.

@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER Fair. If them coming loose was a concern there also was locking sockets
