You don't necessarily need to start with a kit, I didn't and I knew nothing about electronics when I started (and in a way, I still...

Welcome aboard... it's a great hobby ! I'm afraid I can't make any suggestions on specific pedals for a Bass, however I think you need...

Thanks - yeah, that's what I did. No way was I going to try to take the thing out intact. Some leg stumps were just more tenacious...

Then you’re good to go… word of advice, at the price of a socket, cut the leg off and simply remove on leg at the time. Much less...

Glad you got it working @MacGuffin_ ! Nice work !

Nah you don't easy to build one.. https://www.diypedalgearparts.com/en/novita/26_Audio-probe-how-to-build

OK so bypass works and when you engage you have no sound... Does D2 blinks ? If you don't get any light on D2 I think you need focus...

Hmmm when I read this: I understood "turn on the switch" as effects on and "I turn it off" as in bypass.... As for the LDR, I looked...

I didn't look at the circuit in details, but saw the LDR, if they are Resistance when dark (or probably even the opposite), how could...

Just a simple observation, are you testing in the dark, ie:, make sure the LDRs are not catching ambient light ?

That's actually very useful, you should not delete them from now on, makes our troubleshooting easier when trying to pin point the exact...

I’m no pro, so take this for what’s it’s worth… I think your first set of transistors (Ac151s ?) hfe were to high… stuff I’ve read...
