I finally figured out what the issue was. My yellow cap,’that I swear was a 100p, is actually a 100n. Swapped for a 100p, Works like a charm. I feel very foolish

I’ve got a pile of old Japanese radios, tape machines etc, and I have a pile of diodes I am trying to identify. All test roughly the same on my Peak Atlas, .69 to .73ish. The one in question is the one with the blue band. It’s below a standard 1N4849 for size comparison. Again, I’m mostly...

I am. The only thing I’m not doing per the layout is I’m using a TL072P

The diode is fine. I even swapped for another and still nothing. Tested for continuity between the cuts, all is good. Tested the 2N7000’s, Pinouts are as they should be. Took the mosfets out, put in sockets in case I cooked them, and put new 2N7000’s in and still nothing. I basically crank all...

2N7000's, pinouts are correct. This is driving me crazy lol

Yes

Using a TL072 because it’s supposed to be a replacement for the AD712…

I’ve built this from the Dirtbox layouts layout. I’m not getting any clipping, and cannot for the life of me see what is wrong. I can remove the drive pot and the thing sounds the same I’ve confirmed there are no stray solder bits connecting rows (there looks to be one in the last pic...

Thanks Fama, that might be the easiest option at this point.

I have been using an existing layout that I modified a bit. I use the existing layout but use a 2 x 10 turret so that the components essentially are symmetrical (straight across) and dont need to be angled. I then just connect the turrets that need connecting on the underside with wire. I...

No, I forgot lol. That said, I started building these without the Balance knob, and only a Harmonics. I will breadboard another one in a bit and check and see if the suggested methods work.

It just loses a bit of volume and drive. Its like the last 3% of the pot curve actually decreases a bit instead of continuing its upwards trajectory.

Sorry all, wasnt sure how to word this. I have built a pile of these and each one essentially seems to fall off juuuust a bit when the Balance pot (A50k) is at max. I tried searching, didnt see anything posted, so I figured Id ask, I hope this hasnt been beaten to death and I just wasnt able...

Can anyone share their method to manage wires for turret or pseudo-turret and Other DIY builds that have wires coming out to the off board parts all over the place? I’m trying to have a clean, aesthetically pleasing method without the wires becoming a rats nest under the pcb. I’ve attached an...
