Typically if I am on bass it’s a volume pedal and maybe a chorus or vibe. My son’s board runs a digitech whammy, general tso compressor, Drebbel pre, Jimi Lee OBD-3, MBP Touchstone, and a DMD-2. All but the whammy are in a pedaltrain nano. Of those he uses the Whammy the most with the compressor...

Just breadboarded the micro blend. Works, but I get bleed from both signals on either side of the pot. Working as designed, breadboard oddity, or I dun F’d sumpin up?

Nope, that is the “blue vein” from stompboxparts. Way too cold for rattle can jobs since I do mine outside. Edit: Aqua Vein

Any chance on getting the microblend schematic? Want an active blend but not set up for SMD so would like to Vero it

Sockets can become unreliable. With multiple transistor switch outs the sockets can become loose and you run the risk of the transistor falling out of the socket down the road. As far as heat shrink I have never applied heat to the shrink wrap, I have some really small stuff and it’s really just...

Thanks for the info. Once I moved my regulator off board I am getting the correct voltages where expected. The 5457 has clean signal going through it. This is going to be a really dumb question, but I am second guessing myself after staring at the schematic for far too long, but does the audio...

All settings. I did a brief audio probe and it seems like it’s being injected at R5 BUT I actually don’t hear it coming out of the LM13700. I thought maybe me releasing the magic smoke on C100 (which was rectified) might have caused some AC leakage, but strapping a cap across the power terminals...

Thanks for taking a peak at my problem child. So I have tried 2 different sets of lm358 as well as the TL072 which came from Mouser so would trust to be reliable. All with the same issue. I somehow must have borked the regulator section of the board. Off boarding the regulator solved the...

Well, the popping/thumping is resolved but I am still getting light distortion on the E string and some of the higher frets of the A. Sounds a bit like fret buzz, but it happens with multiple guitars (Humbucker and single coil) and is gone when I turn the pedal off. Going to audio probe some...

The regulator I am using is the one pictured so I’m going with there may be a short. In desperation I have off boarded the regulator on a vero and fed it into the left pad of the regulator and every thing seems to be behaving. It’s what I get for taking a build break.

So my Poison Apple “works”, but I am getting serious popping/thumping at the envelope opening and even a little distortion on lower strings/frets. I have been pouring over this thing doing all the troubleshooting basics and the thing I keep coming back to is that my 5v keeps disappearing. So...

You will not be disappointed.

For reasons, I’ve started building things again. Maybe just needed a little retail dopamine hit from getting packages in the mail and building. Trying to stay within the limits of parts on hand to mitigate having to order a bunch from stateside suppliers. First up is a Poison Apple auto wah...

This was happening before the tariffs went into effect and only appeared in the PayPal app

i actually got my board from @jimilee during the very first round of PIF. Decent enough sounding OD. Lives on my son’s board now
