    SOLVED wiper noise. different suppliers. different pedals. what am i doing wrong?

    I’d double check voltages, DC before and after the cap coming off the opamps. Maybe check the opamps and see if they’re good? Only other weird thought is bad jacks or bad cable - or something intermittently weird

    SOLVED wiper noise. different suppliers. different pedals. what am i doing wrong?

    When you say wiper noise on the volume, you’re meaning the pedal volume/boost, correct? I was thinking dc leaking to the wiper, but I’m wondering if you’re having issues I sometimes have: forgetting to turn the potentiometer all the way off or on to solder, which causes a burn/jump in the...

    CHOMPI - sampler, now open source

    That looks ridiculously fun. The slow down to reverse on the samples could get you into some weird riffs.

    Stickman builds his first tube amp

    Re: musicalpowersupplies — I did email them a couple weeks ago and got a response. I used [email protected] and had a quick response. If that falls through, Edcor is quite good, really really good specs and well like, but definitely not cheap. Standby switches and b+ has always...

    This Week on the Breadboard: Shallow Water

    I’ve been giving my best effort to lay one out, but I haven’t been able to find time. Also, I keep hitting layout frustrations (clean, organization). Eagle being in Fusion is clunky, too.

    Abyss Again

    Thanks for that intensity tidbit. I might open my schumaker 1590a version to fix that lfo stall.

    Tube Preamp PCB (draft)

    I never did mention how this went: I had them fabbed. They look right. All the connections seem to be there. One issue: I screwed up the component size. Thus, larger caps and resistors (since I have mainly 1W/2W Koa Speer carbon films) don’t fit. Oops. But the boards are salvageable for...

    Brownout Overdrive

    That finish color looks like a nicely aged burst

    Particle accelerator cut out

    My guess is a bad joint. If it shows up again, check to make sure that component voltages are not being exceeded (I’ve had some poly caps that were close/under the voltage - didn’t notice! - and it might be a problem). Last ditch would be a tube hitting a weird thermal thing.

    What's on the workbench?

    If I see correctly, the dirty boy Jr is the small version of their preamp pedal (same character, same knob names). I could be wrong though

    Countdown Phaser question

    I figured it could be done. My brain was just not putting it together the past couple times I looked at it

    Countdown Phaser question

    After years of building different things, I feel kind of dumb asking this question. Can the OD section of the Countdown Phaser (A/DA phaser) be completely omitted? I might have to jumper, but I don’t need another OD. I’m sure it’s stupidly simple and I’m just hallucinating ideas. Thanks PS if...

    What's on the workbench?

    I’m now co-opting the phrase: “and adopted a method to adjust how much signal is sent” whenever I install a potentiometer to shunt signal to ground.

    Great first build. /hides first build as it looked like a person with two left hands put it together, though it worked

    what action height should i have with DGDGAD tuning on an electric guitar ?

    I think a business card is about .25mm. Maybe? Remember it’s a general guideline.

    Fudge Round Fuzz: 1)transistor biasing, 2)popping issues

    A quick peek at the schematic shows it’s basically a fuzz face. Which means you probably should have Q2 about 4.5V?
