Where did you get the red resisters, or what brand are they??? Definitely a lot cooler looking to me anyways than your average blue striped jobs….. Look soon for my own thread asking for help with my Xc phase build!! As I can get the light to light up but no sound to come out!!

Thanks, guess I will wait for more parts to do this one…

Wanted to know if these substitutes to the kliche were acceptable. Or if I should just wait and order the correct parts. For the most part no value is that far off. But I didn’t know if anything was that critical that I should wait for parts… Also the diode substitutions I made, being the...

Hey so I have never used these breakout boards before. Do you have to solder them on the switch to get them to make a connection??? As in can you test out the circuit with just placing the switch tips into the breakout holes??? I can get circuit to work with just putting wire ends in the...

I thought I did. Haha. Shoot I looked up videos for an auto wah, not a fixed wah. I am an idiot. It’s working now. but sounds MUCH better with everything soldered up as well. Thanks for your help and your tips.

Yeah they are. And new to soldering. Didn’t want to get too much solder on them. But in doing that I think I got too little. I did reflow a few and now I have sound… not a great wah cycling though. Just sounds like it’s stuck open, pressed down on the wah. But at least I have sound!! I...

Okay so I took a razor and cleaned up around my soldering points. And then I soldered over some contacts that looked weak. And alas I have sound!!!! Still not a good wah sound though. Hoping that once I get the pots soldered in the interference will abate, and I will get a good wah out of...

Here are more pics. I get to practice my desoldering skills, as I have the one set of wires for the middle pot on the wrong side I realize now! I will stick to pcb mounted pots from now on. Got these on clearance from pedal parts… Think I may have been talking about my other build when I...

Hey guys it was the transistors! I tried some more eBay generics. Some old NOS with gold pins. I didn’t even check these guess yet, not like I was probably checking them right before…. But threw them in one way and it was a just the clean sound again. Threw them in the other way and it...

Okay I have 2 capacitors changed out until I get more parts. I soldered sockets so I could change easy. I am using a 100uf instead of the 220uf. And a 2.2nf instead of the 270p. Also just tried a 1nf. Also didn’t work. Thanks for your switch explanation, pretty much what I was thinking...

Do you think I need to be using more solder??? I didn’t want to over do it. But thinking now I didn’t use enough.

Cardas euclectic solder.

Will get more pics up tomorrow. Sorry the kid sleeps on the couch usually, and have my stuff in same room(living room/den) until I get my garage space setup. Just some quick notes. I don’t have a switch on the thing yet. My other builds seem to work with no switch on it. Could that be an...

I will check the solder joints tomorrow as it’s already late here and my son fell asleep in the living room where I have my stuff. So I can’t work on it now. Still making a dedicated space in the garage for my new hobby. the pots seem to work at least the sound changes when I turn them. I can...

Not the cleanest wiring job, but everything should be connected good enough to flow current. no switch connected yet. I did the same wiring for my el sol which works fine. the pots seem to adjust the sound tone and volume, but always a clean sound no fuzz.
