Hi all, My goal is to wire three single coil pickups with the following requirements: -Each pickup will have its own volume control -Each pickup will have its own on/off switch -The pickups will be wired in parallel, but with the option to switch the bridge and middle pickups between series...

Hi friends, To my ear, EVH’s tone on Van Halen 1 always made the phaser sound more like a treble booster. Here is an isolated guitar version of I’m the One (start at about 1:20): It’s a super trebly, snarly, almost wah pedal toe almost all the way down sound. It sounds to me like the sweep...

I just noticed that in Thomeeque's schematic and build instructions, he says the following: So, I am thinking that CC1 might be for if you want to install a mod.

The documentation I have is on this Github repository. I don't really know what any of this stuff is. I asked my brother to find me an electric mistress clone, and he found this one and then had the circuit boards fabricated. My understanding is that it is based on Thomeeque's EM3207 mistress...

Here is a zoomed in picture of the PCB layout.

Totally - but what do I do with that single pad that is labeled CC1 on the bottom left? The one that is next to all the other labeled pads?

That was my understanding, but those points are all already connected via traces on the PCB. This is what I’m working with:

https://mikeyfarrow.github.io/PCBs/father-and-son-mistress_sch.pdf It’s a clone of an electric mistress. I can’t figure out what CC1 is at all. Thanks!!

Oh shoot. Thank you for the tip! Still, with test conditions the same on the breadboard (power on), I wasn’t getting continuity between pin 1 and 2. Ultimately, this didn’t end up solving the problem, so maybe I WAS testing incorrectly. I will keep this in mind for my further testing. Thanks!

UPDATE: I had some time last night to continue to investigate what I might have done wrong on the PCB. I learned that when the power was on, I was getting continuity between pins 1 and 2 of the TL022. I checked whether I was getting continuity between pins 1 and 2 of the TL022 on the...

UPDATE: Using the schematic, I built the LFO section of the circuit on a breadboard and patched it into the pedal using an alligator clip. Pedal works perfectly now. So, the problem is definitely with the LFO on the PCB. Now that I know a bit more about LFOs, I am going to see if I can figure...

UPDATE: I reflowed all the solder points and now the pedal is not even working for 30 seconds. Instead, I get the static filter sound that I would get after 30 seconds before reflowing the solder.

This is one of the few things I did know. Haha :)

I replaced R39 with the correct value and it did not fix the problem. It sounds great for 30 seconds and then goes static.

As an update, I just also determined that I have the wrong value in for R39. I am going to fix that and then report back.
