I’m picking up a slight tick around 1Hz. I swapped the charge pump for another date series but same ting. At this point a reflow might be good, but it’s a slight tick (unless you probe IC6-1, then it thumps..LOL), so I’ll try an ICL7660 and maybe a MAX1044 just to compare before disrobing (y)
 
Now why isn’t that posted up in the build reports for all to see? That is some delicious raspberry colored figliciousness right there

I use iRealPro which has jazz backing tracks but also many other genres (although I think you need to pay separately for those). It works really well for my needs, but beware: it’s midi sounds. The nice thing is that you can change tempo and key very easily. If I need headphone practice, I can plug my Fender Mustang micro which has BT so I can get the track and the guitar through it. Pretty seamless setup.

I picked up one of those Fender Mustangs to do a shootout between it and the iRig.

Stay tuned for the Dual of the Dongles!
 
Today I'm hoping to fix the ticking in the Phase II. I've been enjoying this pedal even with the built-in metronome. :ROFLMAO:

I have the prescribed solution from @benny_profane , but I want to take the opportunity....hey, it's not everyday you run across a perfectly good tick to experiment on, so yeah. I've got a couple of optional charge pumps to plug in...and I noticed it becomes very pronounced if you unplug the input cable...so there's that. Afterwards, I'll move the input cable and report back.
 
That didn’t take long. Both the MAX1044 and the I7660 had no effect on the tick. I snipped the existing wire and snaked a new one in, rather than remove the board. It’s now quiet. :)

I'm extremely hard on my builds if I have to re-work something, which explains why my trouble shooting efforts generally wind up in the "box 'o' shame". I tend to kill boards if I don't get right the first time hahah.

Crap…I’ll have to start over now. :ROFLMAO: Too bad….it sounds so good!
 
So far, I am really impressed with the Fender Mustang Micro BT. So much guitar in such a tiny package. 12-amps & 13-effects onboard, rechargeable battery, along with seamless bluetooth connectivity, headphone & amp jacks, and of course a more traditional control (pot). Truly portable groove!

Look for one of these as the next contest prize…

But can it sound like my 1972 Acoustic 134?…
