    Low Tide Modulator - audio signal troubleshooting

    Thanks for the reply. Any tips on how to troubleshoot the trim pot settings? I had set the values on them both based on a post I read here before playing, but didn’t have any luck. I’ll also reply back shortly with some pics.

    Low Tide Modulator - audio signal troubleshooting

    I’m relatively new to pedal troubleshooting, but learning lots with each build (I’m 6 pedals in). My low tide modulator isn’t giving me any sound when its engaged. I’m running it though a test box (in/out/power, switch) that I know is working. I started following along with the schematic and an...

    Low Tide build Troubleshooting

    Hey all. Got sidelined with some stuff, but back to troubleshooting. I started tracing the audio signal from the input. Here’s where I’m at so far (circle is no audio, check is audio). Should I just keep on making my way through the schematic? Meaning, there’s a few spots not getting a signal...

    Low Tide build Troubleshooting

    I started making my way through the board and had to stop. I’ll report back tonight/tomorrow. Thanks for checkin in.

    Low Tide build Troubleshooting

    Still no luck yet. I connected my test box to the bottom connections with the power connecting to the top (see photo), but I'm still not able to get audio beyond the input pad. Based on the schematic, I would think that R1 should be the next spot I check, but maybe I'm missing sometime. Here's...

    Yeah. I’m testing with a seperate test box that I built that has in/out/power/switch. I have that plugged into the in/out/power on the top of the board.

    Low Tide build Troubleshooting

    I confirmed the parts and checked that the joints are good, so I moved onto the audio probe. I hear audio when I touch the top input. Based on this schematic I found via Google, I tried testing R1, but aren't getting any audio. Although when I do a continuity check btw in and R2, I get a...

    Testing resistor values on a PCB

    I just started troubleshooting a build and was trying to test the values of the components that were soldered (starting with the resistors). I’ve tested about 20 resistors so far, and there’s about 7 that are giving me a different resistance reading then what they’re supposed to be. There’s a...

    Low Tide build Troubleshooting

    Thanks. Input/outputs are correct, volume and all pots are turned up, and I tried adjusting the trimmer while playing audio. I'll try verifying the parts and inspecting the board more closely and report back (If that checks out, I do have an audio probe).

    Low Tide build Troubleshooting

    Hey Benny. Thanks for the reply. When the pedal is engaged, I'm not getting any audio.

    Low Tide build Troubleshooting

    Just finished my Low Tide build, which isn't working for me when activated. Looking for advice on where to go next with troubleshooting. Here's some details: I'm testing the PCB currently through a test rig that I know works (rig has in jack, out jack, 9V power, and footswitch) I'm connecting...
