Did you also use a OC140?

**Does it on both settings

Hey guys, I’ve been working on a couple aft preamps and ran into the same problem with both: When engaged, the signal only seems passes through if I’m playing hard; and then it quickly fades back out, almost like a noise gate with the settings cranked. I did opt to use a OC140 rather than the...

OMG im an idiot 🫣

I haven’t hooked up the second one yet, I’m actually missing a pot for it right now. I bought 5 of the 2399’s from Nextgen Guitars. That’s generally where I get most of my common components. I’ll try another chip before I take it out and then post the back and some more angles.

Hey guys, Recently built two of the Cataclysm Delays and found that the effect level is very quiet and really can only hear a slight almost reverb like sound from them. I know I shouldn’t have boxed it up… just seemed like an easy build. I had to use two 10K resistors instead of the 20k but...

Yeah same. Had to order some plastic ones, but I got smaller ones because I liked how those metal ones fit. Luckily I had a few of the old ones around to finish the build.

🤣 I appreciate the help, fellas.

Rats.

Yeah, I just wired it up like usual since it worked in testing. What are my options? Can I wire it centre positive or does that need a specialized power supply?

Hey guys! I recently ordered some Metal DC Jacks because I wanted to tighten them from the outside - and decided to try something new. So I threw it into a pedal I was building and was scratching my head as to why It was only getting power if I wiggled it around. Anyway, so I detached it from...

I thought it was pretty smart placement, for me anyway. My friend agreed so I did the other one the same. 5mm might have been a little too big though

Thanks Chuck! That’s exactly what I’m going to do. I appreciate the clarification, my apologies for the confusion. 🤣

I was reading there were concerns that the higher voltage was creating signal loss. Figured that you’d then be lowering the Threshold control for the same level in comparison. I must have misread. Was only asking after seeing people asking about using higher voltage to eliminate distortion. I...

I've got plenty of extra caps rated well over the 30V. I always buy extra and have done a few builds with charge pump for 60-100V rated components. I just wanted to see how you thought yours worked best before I start populating at all.
