Is there another similar transistor I can use in the 1304 fuzz? I placed an order with smallbear and it still has not been processed after nearly a week. Is there another that works in this circuit that's actually attainable?
Do you get power to the LED? Do you have sound in bypass? Also it looks like you used stranded wire and there is some bare wire above the eyelets. I would reheat those joints and push the wire further in to maybe address stray wires that may be touching another component. Also make sure the...
Just bought several parts for some upcoming builds and got a few LM833 ICs. I know this chip is a dual op amp and has been said as being comparable to the NE5532. Am I correct in believing this? Also does anyone have any experience using the LM833?
I hear ya. I would start where signal dropped and continue down the that path to see if that cures your ails. If that doesn't work, we can continue troubleshooting
I would suggest reflowing your joints. Looks like your not getting full penetration through the board for both holes on the PCB. I would reflow all your joints just to clean them up a bit. It may solve your issue. If you're new to soldering, youtube is quite helpful for tips and tricks.
Can you take a closer photo for details on the solder joints? Also I recommend some isopropyl alcohol and a scrubbing for the back of your board to help clear any residue from soldering
