Hi all.
Im sure someone somewhere has asked and had the issue solved, but I haven't found it.
So, I built my Dream Fuzz and Cepheid Chorus, and checked all connections / solder points/joints. Everything LOOKS pretty much perfect, right? Well, I cannot for the life of me figure out the issue with this pedal. All resistors, film caps, electrolytic caps, ceramic cap, diodes, toggle, pots, 3dpt, AND ICs (and the correct IC chips in the correct place) seated properly. True bypass works just fine, hit the stomp switch, LED status lights up, silence. Just silence. Very frustrated because I've reflowed the solder of every joint, reseated he ICs, reflowed the connections to the in/out jacks & DC jack. Did the same for the Cepheid Chorus. Is the LFO status LED supposed to be constantly flashing even when pedal switch is not engage? Cepheid Chorus ALSO true bypass works, switch activated, silence. Can anyone tell me what may be quite obvious to everyone else that I may be missing please?
I really want these pedals to work. I just dusted off my 20+ year old Crate amp off and want to start jamming again.
