I hate to spend too much money on aesthetics, but I'm pretty dead set on getting light blue hammertone so I think I'm going to buy the quart can of the Rustoleum brush-on silver and try to tint some of it blueish like I read about on that garage tool forum. I found a lower price on it (local Ace...
This might seem like a very silly question, but I'm planning a silicon Zonk ii/Reeves Zo build and was hoping to paint the enclosure in a hammertone light blue metallic paint like the original. I was thinking that I could drive down to the hardware store or Walmart and pickup up a can, but it...
@TucsonSean So I'm interested in building a Plexifeta...
I own a EAE Citadel and love the tone, but I use it as a end-of-dirt-section overdrive pedal, not as an actual preamp and I find the EQ section not very useful when used this way; to get the tone that I want (fairly neutral) I leave the...
I soldered the volume knob back in to see if anything had changed; still lower volume, hard to get unity on si clipping.
Playing around with the knob I noticed two things: volume was bunched up towards the the end of the sweep (clockwise) and that there is considerable high end roll off at...
I jumpered lug 2 to 3 and pulled R13 and now there is plenty of volume on tap! Woohoo!!
R13 measured 10.01
So I guess I order up a new volume pot and see if that fixes things?
Thanks, I desoldered the vol pot, 1-3 stays at 94ohms, 1-2 max 94 min 1.3, 2-3 max 1.3 min 94. So that seems normal right?
Volume lug 1 trace to ground 0.1ohms, lug 2 to C11 0.1ohms, lug 3-R13 0.1ohms, also normal right?
Ok so I put on "10 hours of relaxing sleep music" on Youtube and traced the circuit with the audio probe, I noted where the sound was noticeably different
-On IC1-7 I I first get a terrible nasty screechy noise (hereafter referred to asTNSN)
-R10 TNSN on the North-most leg (I don't know which...
D101 and D102 seem to be facing the right direction, the stripe (though slightly worn off) matches up with the one on the pcb
