Yeah...mine are cool as a cucumber.

I'm in the same boat as several of you. Built with the improved mixer and exhibits the same behavior as @Bugeyed Earl is seeing. I've reflowed, traced the signal through the entire circuit, had 5.9V at TP1. I socketed my transistors and tonight was pulling them and checking them with my cheapo...

Thanks, fig! Don't know why I didn't find that thread. I do know how to do a search, just not well enough. I'll practice. :)

Hello PPCBers, I've built a few of the Aion FX Dinosaural OTC-201 Compressors and they use the VTL5C4. I know that the Thorpy Fat General is designed by the same guy and that the two are pretty similar. Was wondering if I could use the XVIVE VTL5C4s in the General Tso's Comp (Fat General)...

Thank you, Chuck. I'll change my process going forward. And thank you as well for this great circuit. I have two boards and the Mojito is on both of them!

...good point, GWK! These incredibly nearsighted eyes needed to take a second look at the backside with a generous dose of magnification. Reflowed some joints on the back and Viola! It's alive! Thanks to everyone for their assistance.

Definitely 10K resistors and a 47pF film cap...any other thoughts?

Mounted as normal. All have plastic dust covers.

OK, made a signal tracer and have an audio signal through the entire circuit. I have OD on D4 anode, D1 cathode, D3 cathode, and D2 anode. Changed R1 to 2.2M. Pulled C5 and check capacitance...100pF. Transistors and diodes are not shorted or bridged. The IC is a CA3130E. Thanks so much to...

This is my second build of this pedal. Wanted a larger enclosure so my size 12s could work one or the other stomp switch. Anywho, the gain pot is not working. Dialing it up and down does nothing but increase volume. When the boost is engaged, I get OD, but not without the boost engaged...

Miss my 260...Please do this.
