Yes but I'm not sure to understand why you say this?

I made the transformer and switches on a breadboard today to test it out. Same as the last schem picture i posted here. It behaves very very similar to the radial aby. Phase switch works only when transformer in engaged, which makes sense because it would just shunt the signal to ground if it...

Oh noooo, i missed that haha thanks I was looking at is like it's making a stronger ground contact with the jack but yeah, that would have made the ground lift useless Should i ground just the ring switch pin to ground or both ring pin and switch pin not connected at all?

Oh yes for sure, i have quite a few to read suggested to me since the past days. I really don't mind ordering 5 pcs pcb's to try and see if i made errors or even space issues with component size, and while i wait for the order i will read thoses.

Ok, well i'll see how it goes, i'm starting to hate breadboarding... I used to do it a lot but i ended up spending more time trying to figure out what goes where and why there's noise or weird issues... having to check every cable i use and not move it around too much in fear of something...

No, why? I breadboard half of the stuff i want to make as a pcb but... most of the time breadboard pick up noise and weird stuff or the cables loose connexion and i have to be extra careful so now i just use a simluation falstad as much as i can and then make 5 pcs pcb at jlc for like 5$ shipped...

No worries, thanks for the help :) I'm making a pcb now, let me know if anything else comes to your mind, i'll order it in the next few days, i can't wait to try it out :)

Hm.. where do they join ? Are you sure? i overlayed it in photoshop while tracing it, and checked it 3 times with the radial diagram and i can't find any differences...

Let me know what you think of this one. I'll order a pcb and see how it goes from there.

oh wait that 10k and 1n i think should connect directly on the transformer for the load it's designed.

Ok i think i got it now haha :rolleyes: I double checked with the radial block diagram, that's pretty much the same i did, but i added the 10k and 1nf as per the schematic, hope it's correct now lol what you think? Oh yeah i saw the lehle stuff but it's way too expensive for what i'm trying to...

Ok how about this. phase filp is directly on the transformer so it's as if i just rewire it directly. ground lift is at the output jack not sure how i can bypass the transformer without shorting the signal to ground though...

ah nope it's about the same problem, i'm trying something else

Because transformer in this low price range color the sound compared to the original direct signal, it's not always needed to use transformer isolation. Ok i changed the ground lift switch to be at the output, does it looks good now? I was thinking it's the same using it before or after the...

Thanks! Yes i'll use the plastic isolated sockets for ins and outs So i came up with this, 3 switches: switch 1 does transformer bypass or engage switch 2 lifts the ground or not switch 3 flips the phase Does it look correct? I think i got the transformer poles wrong when i made that custom...
