And no, not the smoky, and consume the whole world kind, but the twisty-knobby-resisty kind!

A while ago I wrote this calculator and then my hosting expired and due to real life, I never moved it to its new home, despite being offered by multiple people.

Well good news is, it has moved to the server, where this very forum, you are reading my rambling is hosted, big thanks to aron!

http://www.diystompboxes.com/brisance/ <- clicky clicky and have fun :)

I will start to overhaul the whole interface soon too and maybe write in some more features as well. Will keep you guys posted! :)

I think you might need to do some tweaking - I set VR=R1=R2=1.
Perhaps fudge it by adding a small resistance to each value.

Thanks for bug report, I will check on it later today :)

No problem - always happy to break stuff.

As a relatively newbie, my question is probably dumb and comes from my understanding that the default pot structure here is linear taper...but would it make sense to include an option for default linear, logarithmic, and/or reverse-log tapers?

I know that you can CREATE those tapers by adding various resistors but I would find it handy to know how adding/removing resistors would influence pots that come stock with these tapers...

Brisance

Hmm, thats an interesting question, I would need to add in the values of said tapers manually or get a formula for them somewhere though
