Got it all figured out with some extra help from my audio probe and some friends.
Everything went pretty smoothly in the initial pass with solder when I first populated the board, but C2 had one bad pad for why I can tell. After tracing the first portion of the circuit with the probe it stopped...
Thought so. I ordered an audio probe from rattlesnake that should arrive later this week. Sooner than make a thing that introduces other problems, i figured i'd get something from a group that makes them professionally. We shall see!
Yeah, that picture was before i went back onto the board and starting setting values in the ideal place. Currently running the trim at a position that doesn't give any output when engaged, but feeds the appropriate vref values to IC2 (4.5-4.6). The former position the trim was in gave a very...
Spent a bunch of time on the pedal today, essentially trying a full resolder/flow on every point after doing a trace between components i thought might be malfunctioning. Took a while. Nothing really figured out yet; behavior stays the same.
I did notice that when the pad of my finger was...
Reflowed everything
New 4558D IC values
1: 1.5 // 2:1.5 // 3:.77 // 4:0 // 5:.77 // 6:1.03 // 7:2.17 // 8:8.8
Changes in sound: I get more of the input than before, unchanged by pedal, and the lag pot has a coordinating high pitch ringing to its intensity now
Also: pin 3 on IC chip makes a...
Hey all!
First time poster here, second PedalPCB board build. Havin some trouble getting my Caesar to work. Got an audio probe on the way from Rattlesnake to go on a part by part hunt, but i figured i'd drop this line first to see if anyone wanted to lend a helping hand.
