Fixed!! it was indeed a faulty part but surprisingly it was the N5547 not the j201! I replaced them with J201 and it works flawlessly. A bit late but just wanted to share. Thanks!

Thanks, it might be a wrongly labeled component I guess. That does happen often. I will check and if nothing shows up I will order new transistors.

Good thinking. I have just tried bending all legs and putting them back in but the problem persists. I have also tried messing with them while playing and it doesn't seem to do any effect.

Hello everyone! It has been a while since I last posted but I got back to putting pedals together. So far a couple came out nicely but I am having issues with the fornicus overdrive. These are the things that work as expected: - Signal comes in and out when not engaged - The internal led is...

Hi everyone! The SMD j201 arrived and now everything works perfectly. I just have to do some finer adjustments now to eliminate noise (which will be a bit difficult now that my cheap screwdriver has obliterated the trimpots). I guess the lesson is not to use through hole J201 ever again. For...

Thank you! That's exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping to hear. I checked and I think the solder bridge is pretty much an optical illusion because of the shitty picture. This weekend I will invest some serious time in audio probing the entire circuit but I am really hoping it is the through...

Hey, thanks for the reply. I have the very first board (I think I bought it pretty much the day it got released). I was following the PCB orientations when putting the ICs but maybe the issue is there. The idea of the audio pobre sounds like a good learning experience. I will give it a try next...

Hi everyone! First troubleshooting post so please bear with me and keep in mind that I am a noob with just a few months experience building pedals as a hobby (which im really enjoying!). Anyway, after months gathering parts, waiting and waiting and waiting... and waiting for a single...

well, be prepared for a world of pain. I have been waiting for mine since early May. I have given up completely on Banzai by now meaning I don't expect to receive the product I have paid (which should be completely unnaceptable). Funny thing is that, despite me telling them multiple times...

Sorry to revive an old post but after waiting for almost 5 months for a single potentiometer from Banzai they had written to me to tell me that they had it but that they are out of stock again (they claim that they sent it to me and it got lost, but I am pretty sure that they simply forgot)...

Yeah the worst part of this hobby for me is gathering the parts. I have been waiting for a single pot from Banzai for at least 3 months by now. :( Worst of all is that supposedly it was on stock at the time I bought it. Also I don't even have an estimated delivery date either.

This answer is both discouraging and encouraging at the same time :p. I am a complete beginner and I am (at the moment) still trying to digest very carefully the very basics of DSP.I have finished Musimathics vol 1 and I am starting vol 2 and they are amazing so far! How difficult would it be...

Oh no! another vibrato that I need :)

I got my PCB!! Yaaaay! Is anyone else having problems with Banzai not responding to their emails? (still waiting for that damn dual pot).

Nice progress! From my end still waiting for the arrival of the PCB to Europe. I swear UPSS is getting slower by the day.:cry:
