If someone here who knows what they are doing answers listen to them, not me. Thats my first bit of advice. Looks like you used sockets for the chips - Good - if you have spare of the chip in question - try swapping it. If it was working I would look over all your wiring and soldering to...

Thank you all who replied. I will investigate these suggestions and report back.

Hello, Im getting some noise in my signal, especially in when the pedal chain is all turned off. Its a steady hum. - seems less with 5 pedals on a daisy chain (go figure) - my pedals are pretty quiet when i use them one at a time. Some dead quiet. - i tried a cheap amazon supply but also...

In that case perhaps I should grab a link. Thank you!

https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/phase-2-ldr%E2%80%99s-photoresistors.23879/#post-305729 Hey - saw my post linked here. I posted the same question in mods as well and got some good answers from the forum. So i linked that thread above. Expanding on what Jwin528’s mentioned. The 5528’s...

Yo, to those looking for a parts list. death by audio has parts sheet and instructions linked on their site. https://deathbyaudio.com/products/synthesizer-diy-build-kit-a-place-to-bury-strangers-album?_pos=1&_sid=3f053edb8&_ss=r

Hahaha - thank you for the image! I will try and figure out a way to get that on this thing, if i can get my shit together ;) I just noticed when the clipping LED is engaged it brightens when the signal is active and dims when its not. This is probably not new info for this crowd and makes...

Thank you all for your insights. The results are in: It sounds like a hornet with diarrhea and I love it. Ended up going with a 2N527 Germanium in Q4. My build skills are primitive so I crossed my fingers and one-shotted it. It works. Madbean has an alternate diode on a switch so I...

Oh cool. Didnt realize i could do that, but that makes sense, i can absolutely solder from the top.

Hello, I have a Madbean Freeloader Octave Fuzz on the bench. The EHX lizard queen is based off this circuit (see what I did there). Q4 in the BOM is a 2n3906 transistor. I dont have one. I believe this is a PNP Transistor. But I have some spicy PNP oddities in my stash. I believe I can...

@ lightbright Did you get yours working? I had a very similar issue which turned out to be the TL 22 in IC 6. On a whim i swapped the TL 22’s in IC 6 and IC 1 around. That got the light pulsating but with no phase affect. That told me the TL 22 originally in IC 6 was as faulty. I...

The abridged version of the solution: one Crappy TL 72. (It was a war to figure out and i mostly got lucky) Gentleman, i dont think this thing working is just a phase. We got it. Appreciate your support, your clues got me looking at the circuit diagram and using my brain. I usually just...

Is that 1k marked “102”? I understand the LDR’s will function differently in the dark but will the light also act differently? Maybe thats where i am going wrong. I thought i should be able to observe the pulsating with lid off but that LDR’s would only pick it up when its closed.

Hey, thanks. Yes i think i used a green light to sync with the LDR’s. They seem to react to the light and it “colours” the tone its just not pulsating. I did try it with the lid on but I figure the light should pulsate open or closed. Fingers crossed someone has good advice.
