    Fuzzy Fox Loud static when engaged [Moved to Troubleshooting]

    My bottle just says Denatured alcohol. I guess I'll have to get some of the good stuff😜

    Fuzzy Fox Loud static when engaged [Moved from The Toolbox]

    I boxed it up and tested and it definitely sounds better there is still a persistent SHHH. I discovered that if I turn the drive all the way down it goes away, and I don't hear it until around 8 or 9 o'clock. Here are some updated pictures:

    Fuzzy Fox Loud static when engaged [Moved from The Toolbox]

    After reflowing a few more joints and fixing one potential bridge I heard a noticeable improvement. I just did another pass with the ISO and am giving it some time to fully dry before testing it again. I think this is an inherently noisy circuit, so I don't expect it to be silent, but want to...

    Don't have one yet, but am planning to get parts to build one with my next order.

    Fuzzy Fox Loud static when engaged [Moved from The Toolbox]

    Hi all. I got this Fuzzy Fox built but all I'm getting is a loud static when engaged. I tried reflowing so joints, but so far it didn't help. I usually start by measuring voltages on the ICs but not sure how to go about debugging this one. I already tried cleaning the flux with ISO and a...

    Yes I boxed it. The noise is like a loud SHHHH, that is persistent.

    Thanks, I had already tried cleaning the flux with some iso and a toothbrush, but that seemed to spread it out more. I'll do a second round and see if I can clean it better. The transistors I got directly from @Robert: https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/2n3565/

    Simple Jfet buffer R1 & R2

    Thanks, I’ll take a look at that. I was thinking I could also use Gemini to verify the part list against the schematic and a picture of the board.

    Simple Jfet buffer R1 & R2

    Wow you're right! The schematic and screen both say 2M but parts list says 2M2. I should have caught that but sounds like it went matter much.

    1) Expresso Expression Multiplexer - I've had so much fun with this. I can no switch my expression pedal between my Red Panda Tensor (Tape stop), Keeley Halo (mix), and HX One. 2) Low Tide Modulator - This sound so good. I had previously tried to build a mini which I never could get working...

    Simple Jfet buffer R1 & R2

    Happy holidays all! I'm putting together my simple jfet buffer and I ordered 2M2 1/8 W resistors for R1 and R2 based on the build doc but the PCB has 2M printed on it. I know the answer is usually go with what is printed on the board but I thought maybe 2M2 wouldn't fit on board. So can I use...

    Anyone have any new neck opinions?

    I have a strat with a channel bound neck that is outstanding. Super comfortable to play and beautiful to boot. They sell them as separate but are pricey.

    1N34A No markings on glass

    Hi all, I just got these 1N34A diodes for a fuzzy fox build but there is no markings on the glass. Any diode experts out there that can help me get these oriented?
