Build doc specs NPN. I saw another thread where someone asked the same question and seemed like they ended up using the 2n4125 but wasn’t clear.

Also for Q5 it lists a 2N4125 NPN but to my knowledge and the one I have it’s a PNP? Should I find a different transistor in NPN or the 2N4125 is fine?

Building my Xc phase right now and I have the 250K bias trimpot but it only has 3pins. The spot on the board appears to have 5? Do I need to get a different trim pot?

🦣🦣🦣🦣🦣 amazing! I will try and wait patiently.

Howdy! Did a forum search and couldn’t really find an answer or a PCB on here or elsewhere for the Wooly Mammoth. I found one on AnalogClassics but never ordered from them. And then guitarpcb had one but based on their description it’s tweaked for better guitar response. Is there one on the...

AH! Okay so LED would stay where it is intended in the board and then the SW would go into the Black spot on the daughterboard? I will give that a go! The wiring was lined up “right” in my previous photo the lighting was just dim with black wires.

Cleaned up a lot of the connections and used fresh wire to hook it all up. Made sure solder wasn’t anywhere it shouldn’t be. On the auditorium I did not get any squeal when fuzz was at 8-10. The LED also was not fried! So I rehoused it and left the LED connections loose to see what...

Took it apart and cut all the old wires. Took a while to remove them and get new ones in but gave it a quick quiet test tonight on the auditorium again and it sounded like the tone was gone. Tomorrow I’ll test it louder and if it sounds good I’ll stick it back in housing and solder in w/o...

Premounted/made from LMS. I’ll take a look at it tonight and see if it’s functioning still or if it’s my wiring somehow. If I wasn’t planning on using the LED Pots on the board would I leave those blank or fill them with solder?

That makes a lot of sense…. The CLR is what controls the brightness of the LED. So I sent it full power most likely. And 4k7 is average but I can go higher or lower based on what I need. I’ll start with that and going through my solders. I also think I have all that I need to build an audio...

Power is next to the old LED pads there is +/- next to the pad. I originally ran the LED from there but moved it to the daughter board once installed. But I regret it haha. I tried cleaning the solder out with some wick but i didn’t want to fry anything. There is no CLR and no after some...

Thought I had a photo pre-pots but I guess I didn’t get one. Connection soldering definitely was a bit of a struggle and I thought the board would help but maybe it’s causing more problems then it’s worth. Trim leads so there’s not as much wiring running where there doesn’t need to be?

Finally finished my first build! Very satisfying and excited to learn more about all of this. I built up the carbon black fuzz PCB. Tested it on the auditorium platform and all was fine. I wired it up in housing and have a few problems I’m trying to troubleshoot. I learned a lot in this process...

The B25K pot was cracked so when I wiggled it it made connection. All is well! On to housing the pedal now!

Howdy! It’s my build out of a ton I have lined up parts. Very new to all this but trying to learn quickly. I was stoked to receive the parts for my auditorium as I was finishing this board today. But I’ve got no sound coming through active. Bypass works on the auditorium and then when I switch...
