Thanks Jwin615, that's great.

This is the link I bookmarked some time back: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/sola-sound-yellow-hybrid-tone-bender.5855/ From memory it had loads of suggested tweaks and it was interesting seeing the way it was traced from photos and I think a forum member had one and took meter reading. Is...

@Robert, Just wondering if you can shed any light on the nature of the boost? :)

Some information on the inductor types used in crybabies: https://delicious-audio.com/the-wah-pedal-inductor-the-secret-to-your-favorite-wah-tone/ I have a Budda Bud-Wah, and I’m going to replace the Hot Potz II with a ICAR taper pot. My hope is that the sweep will be more progressive and I...

The capacitor is 470pF between lugs 1 and 3 of the pot. If it follows the quintessential wah circuit, one lug goes to ground and the other is connected to the active filter and the output. I’m trying, but failing, to get in contact with the seller, although it's not been 24 hours yet. I have a...

I don’t think my multimeter is refreshing fast enough, I have occasionally got an open circuit when I rotate the pot, but not repeatably. And the area in question I’m guessing is quite narrow as I can hear it as I go through it, but I can’t land on it! 
 But if there is an open circuit how is a...

I have just got a second hand Joe Bonamassa wah, and noticed a small capacitor across lugs 1 and 3 of the wah pot. I’ve never seen this before, either in images or schematic for this wah or any other wah, and it looks like a modification, not from the factory. The sweep had some crackle so I...

What voltage are you getting on the polarity protection diode, D100? The Red dot on temol's diagram. The solder joint looks a little 'lacking' on the topside. It's not looking too groovy on the bottom either

I’ve recently made my own Zo clone, and I’m gathering the parts to do a P2P version too, it’s a great pedal, and I have no other fuzz that does what it does. Marcus commented on the video that he uses 500k for the Drift pot, if you look at any of the wonderful build shots you can see he now...

Did you use the schematic from Gray Bench?

Oh, so I might have not reached the pinicle soldering experience yet, not until I get a Hakko tip :) To ask a probably dumb question, is it that the element goes, and that is why you have to replace the tip after six months? The tip on my Antex is many, many years old, and not worn out, or...

I’ve recently got a Quecoo T12-956 soldering station to replace the most basic of basic soldering irons I’ve been using, an Antex C15. The Antex has served me well but ever since watching a video by Marcus Reeves on tools for pedal building, in which he said he was using a Quecoo in preference...

I've got a fuzzface on my breadboard right now, but have just packed the guitar away so I'll try a 100nF tomorrow, thanks for the suggestion. What transistors are you using? I'm trying KN2222As 134hfe for Q1 and 153hfe for Q2. I've substituted a 2K2 in for what is usually 390R resistor and 3k3...

Hopefully someone with better knowledge than me will chip in, but my guess is that they have been damaged by static electricity. I built a compressor using 2n7000s and that kept breaking because there was no protection, I didn’t know the susceptibility of mosfets to static electricity at the...
