Your 5v regulator is the wrong way round.

I’d say that’s normal for a fuzz face. If your gigging and have a volume pedal then use that after the pedal to cut the sound.

Where is your ground wire from the jacks going? They are insulated jacks so if that wire isn’t connected to ground your circuit isn’t either. If you have a good ground connection then next step is to check voltages of op amps and then use a audio probe to see where the signal isn’t passing.

Yeah I think you are all talking sense. I’ll build an attenuator in a separate enclosure.

Hey all, I came across the rob robinette page about mods for a deluxe reverb. It mentions a 25% or 10% power options using two resistors built inside the amp that are switchable. It’s always a PITA messing about with an external attenuator so having it in the amp makes lots of sense. That...

That sounds great. Other than the sonomatic multi head delay I haven’t looked into skidmark pedals. Shame that I haven’t because they all look great.

Thanks all. I have one amp that is fitted in furniture in the living room (7w Bassbreaker) which has a Yamaha THR-10 on top of it. I have picked up a few new amps recently. An AC15VR (not a huge fan of this. Sounds good as a 2nd amp when using wet/dry). This amp has a tube power amp and solid...

Have you got a cover on the bottom pot under the PCB? It could also be grounding out due to your metal power jack.

As a bit of tangent - did you see Jeff Becks pedalboard is for sale and he was using a VHS pedal. Pretty strong endorsement.

I have acquired 2 new amps recently that I don’t have space to keep in the house but I am able to store them in the garage. I’ve heard mixed opinions on whether this is a good idea or not. Would they get damaged through damp/mold issues with it being very cold? I was thinking I could store...

This is awesome @PedalBuilder !! Is your relay bypass your own design/code?

Is that Ge NPN or PNP? This is a NPN based circuit. If you have sockets in try the bc108s again. Be careful with Bc183s as they have a different pin out. I’m hoping you can bias it correctly with the 108s in place. If you can’t double check your resistor values.

Have you biased the pedal? This is done by setting the voltage on Q2 collector (usually around to half supply voltage but adjust to taste) via the combination of trimmer and the external bias pot.

Clearly the wood resonates with the frequency of the fuzz to enhance the tone.
