    Sandspur Fuzz No Effect, Low Q2 Voltage

    ***ACTIONS DONE TODAY*** 1. Audio probe found the ff: Clean trim, C1, Q1, R2 - with sound R4 onwards - no sound R1 - no sound 2. Continuity in pedal is still in order. It receives power throughout. 3. New tip ordered for further soldering. If R4 and R1 both don't have signal, what does that...

    Sandspur Fuzz No Effect, Low Q2 Voltage

    All component values are correct upon double checking last time. I will triple check but that part seems to be in order. I will go out and buy a new tip as my old one seems to have given up on me. I use a decent iron but I think my upkeep has been shoddy. Unfortunately I couldn't find a C1K...

    Thank you! I moved the legs over and now I'm getting 9.3V on the collector legs of both Q1 and Q2. I noticed that my bias trim and bias knob both do not work. No matter where I move the knob, the bias remains the same. Also, there is still no fuzz sound coming out when the pedal is engaged. I...

    Clandestine Preamp Mod

    Hi everyone, I'm new to pedalbuilding and I'm enjoying the hobby a lot. I bought myself a few PCBs from the site lately and I'm looking to modify the Clandestine Preamp a bit. Currently it runs one knob, one trimmer, and a toggle switch for the voicing. I'd like to change the toggle switch to a...
