    SOLVED Chop Shop voltage only get up to 3v with trim pots maxed

    I already had it boxed up when i went to bias. I do think the sag knob goes up in voltage as you turn it up CW. Because as I was on the test pads my max range for voltage was CCW 3.1 and CW was 9.1. I don’t know man this is my first time really digging into anything like this, I biased 2 son...

    SOLVED Chop Shop voltage only get up to 3v with trim pots maxed

    I got the same results and to bias to 6v i needed to open the sag up all the way CW. So i guess the knob works as if your adding voltage to it. It’s definitely light overdrive. I heard the buddy blues demo and im sure hes pushing a driven amp now that i hear the pedal, plus the dude is a...

    SOLVED Chop Shop voltage only get up to 3v with trim pots maxed

    I wasn’t sure what the sag knob was supposed to be doing when biasing, but if its at full voltage then it is CW. Everything I’ve read said turn it CCW, but that may be for the old version. I guess it is biased correct when I plugged it in today with fresh ears and with the gain maxed there is...

    Ok so with the v2 it needs to be biased with the sag CW giving the pedal max voltage, which makes sense the only problem is it doesn’t have much gain at all that way. Im gonna refill with sder everything tonight maybe theres a problem there not sure whats going on

    SOLVED Chop Shop voltage only get up to 3v with trim pots maxed

    Yes, what I should have said was with the sag turned CW the test pad had a wide range up to 9V at the test point, but set at 6v there was very little gain almost sounded lime a boost. When sag was turned CCW the highest voltage I could get at the test pad was 3.1V, wich was maxed out but it did...

    SOLVED Chop Shop voltage only get up to 3v with trim pots maxed

    I will go through the process again i newver checked for voltage at the pin, but i did turn the pot ccw and from there my max voltage was 3V. I tried it with the sag turned CW and i could get the Voltage all the way up to 9V with the trim at max, however when I set it to 6V there ways...

    Is there a way to change a resistor value to increase the voltage?

    It’s definitely a light overdrive, I still think there is more in it than im getting. I think changing resistor values may help, I kind of doubting swapping out the trim pots Im at a loss but I think this thing will sound good if i can get that bias voltage up

    SOLVED Chop Shop voltage only get up to 3v with trim pots maxed

    I actually biased it based on the sag knob all the way up, CW and the pedal had no drive i was able to bias it to 6v however it sounded off. I feel like i need more range with the trimmer The best sound i can get is with the trimmers dimmed but its still weak. I need more range. Could...

    Few different pedal builds on eyelet & stripboard

    These are all sick! Great job man. The eyelet board gives such a cool vintage vibe

    Go get it my friend! take your time and there is a ton of resources here to reference, so take breaks when your not sure, it’s like the old saying measure twice cut once.

    SOLVED Chop Shop voltage only get up to 3v with trim pots maxed

    I’ve been working on this chop shop on and off for a little while now and when I boxed it up there was very little gain even after messing with the trim pots. It sounded like a clean boost. I replaced the J201’s with mmbfJ201’s and it definitely solved the gain issue but it was weak...

    Hey just curious why short the input to ground?

    1981 DRV (Informant) Build Report

    Yeah the cricuit definitely has a ceiling but i have a few simple concepts I can do to just finish some of these pedals i have sitting around. I should have a really cool build report shortly on the love pedal tchula (Dielectric boost) That Im calling the spanish fly. I have the enclosure done...

    Thanks man i forgot to take that washer off lol, The cricut was surprisingly easy, it works really well for a silhouette design, but your never getting any small lettering out of that thing. The letters on the knobs are like that old guy who has the big font so he can read his text messages
