"For the SCHALLER enthusiasts ... how to differ models

Beside the facts that the early versions had:

•2 screws on top ( first generation),second generation have 1 screw

•both controls to the far right (first generation ), second generation with 1 screw on top have the controls more towards the center, same as the last versions with silicons in the 70s.

•different jack sockets ( last pic shows the very early to the left vs. the last germanium version with 1 top screw but already in a plastic enclosure to the right)

•screw size on the first generation pedals is way smaller; the feet are different as well ( last 2 pics showing the 1st generation to the left vs. the last germanium version to the right)

•very early ones had AC151 germanium transistors while the later ones used Ates AC192 germanium transistors

•version 3 before they swapped to silicon transistors (probably late 69/early 1970) still has one top mount screw but already a PLASTIC enclosure but still the „Marshall-type“ control knobs.

•the „SCHALLER“ engraving changed over the years as well; the very early ones like in pic #2 are big and deep while the letters went smaller till the last versions in a plastic enclosure with silicon transistors, no top-mounted screw and silver metal knobs. Swipe left for the „history“ of the Schaller logo.

•there’re a handful super early ones with the inside NOT painted.

These infos are based on what I’m looking at overbite years collecting these pedals. I didn’t wanted to go deeper as most of the folks who have one at home or wanna buy one aren’t into „science" too much"

Silicon is the king of electronics, but it wasn’t always that way. In the early days, materials like germanium and selenium were used in making transistors and diodes. Germanium was great because it had high conductivity and worked well in early circuits, but it had one big problem—it couldn’t handle high temperatures. Selenium was used in rectifiers, but it wasn’t as efficient as today’s semiconductors. Then came silicon, and it changed everything.

Silicon became the top choice because it has the perfect balance of electrical properties and stability. It’s a semiconductor, meaning it can act as both a conductor and an insulator, depending on how it’s treated. This makes it ideal for transistors, microchips, and other electronic components. One major advantage is its ability to withstand high temperatures, unlike germanium, which breaks down easily when things heat up. Silicon also has a stable crystalline structure, which makes it reliable for long-term use in circuits.

Another big reason for silicon’s dominance is how easy it is to “dope.” Doping is the process of adding tiny amounts of other elements to change how silicon conducts electricity. By adding phosphorus or boron, engineers can create either n-type or p-type silicon, which are essential for making diodes, transistors, and integrated circuits. This precise control over its conductivity is what makes modern electronics possible.

On top of all that, silicon is incredibly abundant. It’s the second most common element in Earth’s crust, found in sand and quartz. This makes it cheap and easy to source compared to rarer materials. Because of this, silicon-based chips are affordable and mass-producible, making electronics available to everyone.

From the first germanium transistors to today’s advanced silicon microprocessors, technology has come a long way. And thanks to silicon, we have everything from smartphones to supercomputers.

Reading Notes_Semiconductors and Transistors

Despite studying Computer Science, I have no idea how the intricate parts of a computer work. Needless to say I was thrilled to find out that my current read, Chip War by Chris Miller, covers one of the biggest inventions in the last century, the transistor. So to help myself learn and remember it, here's my explanation.

William Shockley came up with the theory of Solid State Value where if a power source was attached to a piece of silicone and an electric field was applied then, the silicone would then become conductive due to the electrons being attracted. Unfortunately, at the time the tools to detect the current that was being passed were not up to par so, later on Walter Brattain and John Bardeen improved the experiment by applying two gold filaments attached by wires to a power source and a piece of metal to a block of germanium (works in a similar fashion to silicone). Each filament touched the germanium less than a millimeter apart from one another.

They found they were able to control the current that was surging across the germanium by switching the power on and off thus proving Shockley's theory. The new piece of technology was then dubbed the transistor.

Hopefully this will help keep this information in my brain, and maybe teach any other CS professionals.

#ThrowbackThursday "The first transistor radio hit the consumer market on October 18, 1954. The Regency TR-1 featured four germanium transistors operating on a 22.5-volt battery that provided over twenty hours of life.

"The unit weighed eleven ounces and cost $49.95.

"Two companies — Texas Instruments of Dallas, Texas, and Industrial Development Engineering Associates (I.D.E.A.) of Indianapolis, Indiana — worked together to produce the Regency TR-1.

"TR-1 COLORS: Four colors were initially offered in the 3" x 5" x 1 1/4" plastic case — Black, Ivory, Mandarin Red and Cloud Gray; and were soon followed by Mahogany and Forest Green. The color selection continued to grow as the TR-1 was marketed as a stylish accessory." — Bruce Eaton, Old Time Radio Lovers on Facebook.

                        SEMICONDUCTORS

        (How India is progressing in this sector)

1.What is a Semiconductor?

Semiconductors are materials which has electrical conductivity ranging between conductors and insulators. Conductors are good conductors of electricity while Insulators are bad conductors of electricity.



2.Where is a semiconductor used?

Semiconductors are used in manufacture of various electronic devices like diodes, transistors and integrated circuits. The most popular use of a semiconductor is in cars. In vehicles these semiconductor chips are used to control emission systems, driver assist systems etc. Not only in electric cars these chips are also used in petrol cars.



3.A Semiconductor is made up of which material?

Generally a Semiconductor chip is made up of silicon, germanium and gallium arsenide. Out of these three germanium is the oldest.

4.How will a semiconductor help?

First of all semiconductors regulate the flow of electricity and assist in making electronics function. Secondly the electrical conductivity of a semiconductor can be controlled over a wide range making them versatile for various applications. As I told you earlier that a semiconductor is not only used in electric cars but also in petrol cars, this is because semiconductors increase fuel efficiency in cars. By using semiconductors in engine control systems car manufacturers can achieve more precise control of the engine resulting in improved fuel economy and lower emissions.

So these were some common questions people ask when they hear about a semiconductor.

Now you must know that how it will help India and what steps India is taking to manufacture semiconductors in India.

At present Taiwan, USA, Japan, South Korea, China, Israel, Netherlands, UK and Germany can manufacture semiconductors. Out of these countries China and Taiwan produce a large amount of semiconductor.

More exciting thing was that USA and China were in contention with each other in this matter. During era of Donald Trump there aroused a semiconductor war between USA and China. USA wanted to disrupt China's semiconductor manufacturing and hence put a lot of sanctions on China. USA also funded Taiwan and wanted Taiwan to produce more semiconductors than China.



In all this India was benefited a lot. India also wanted to develop semiconductor plants in country and facilitate ATMANIRBHAR BHARAT initiative. 

https://ism.gov.in/ this is the link of Government's India Semiconductor Mission. This mission aims at forming a semiconductor ecosystem in India.



Government of India is also working on many other semiconductor initiatives like SPECS initiative. Moreover a joint venture of Vedanta electronics manufacturing giant Foxconn has finalised Dholera Special Investment Region near Ahmedabad for setting up their semiconductor display manufacturing facility.



So much progress is happening in India and surely it will facilitate India's economy and will also provide more job opportunities. India will surely emerge as a Developed nation in upcoming years and these semiconductor initiatives are like a cherry on the cake.

I ran into a video going into the circuit details of the classic Fuzz Face guitar pedal, and was reminded that I need to build my own and got a little excited about it — and then I realized that I'm not entirely sure where I put that stash of germanium PNP transistors that need to be sorted and tested first. Oof. Maybe I should build the tester first, then dig through the boxes of parts.

When a semiconductor is composed of small crystals of crystalline compounds, it is referred to as a microcrystalline or amorphous semiconductor material. Strictly speaking, a semiconductor is not a component but a material that has a conductivity between that of conductors and insulators. Semiconductors are important because they can be constructed to conduct electricity better than other materials, a fact which makes them perfect for many applications. The unique properties of semiconductors position them in between high-conducting materials like copper or aluminum and nonconductors like rubber or glass. Most commonly made out of silicon, germanium and gallium arsenide, semiconducting hardware either allows a free-flowing current or repels it completely - semiconductor components.

Exposing a semiconductor to light can produce electron hole pairs, which increases the number of free carriers and thereby the conductivity. Compound semiconductor diodes are also being used to generate light, light-emitting diodes and laser diodes. Semiconductors are materials that conduct electricity well enough to be used in transistors and other electronic devices, but not quite as well as metal.  Semiconductors are used to build virtually every electronic device and have applications across most relevant sectors, such as automotive, home electronics, communications equipment and enterprise systems. In other words, if you want to enhance conductivity, you need to add more electrons, or more holes anything to create an unequal number of either instance - EMC Solution.

They are typically used as amplifiers and oscillators in high-frequency microwave electronic devices. The main advantage of a semiconductor is its ability to control the flow of electrical current electrical charges. The conductors lack this ability as they allow current to flow in both directions. Now let us talk about the important category of material for our discussion i.e. the semiconductors. We use these discrete components in power devices, compactness optical sensors, and light emitters. In addition, they have an extensive range of current and voltage handling capabilities. For more information, please visit our site https://www.westek.com.au/
