Oh yes, in circuit

I took readings on all the resistors, found some abnormalities: -R17 and R19 which are supposed to be 220k both read at 133k. Out of spec but maybe ok? -R1, supposed to be 8m2 and has the right striping, reads at almost nothing; .03ohms. Likely the culprit?

Thanks, I guess I'll have to order up a new one

Thanks!

They feel pretty solid

Thanks I meant to post a gut shot, updated it

I recently built a Crunch Captain Deluxe and it sounds good and seems to be working but overall volume is low. With the Mode switch in the middle (classic Crunch Box/high gain) and clipping switch to the right (LED clipping, the lighter clipping option) with Gain at noon I have to nearly max...

The footswitch on my recently finished Simulcast is having an issue: when in bypass it usually passes the signal normally, but sometimes the signal gets weak/scraggly and goes back to normal if I I softly tap it. What would likely be causing the issue? Bad switch, bad wiring? Thanks

I got the tantalums in there this morning; a major reduction in noise/hiss! It's still a little noisy, but "reasonably noisy" and not over the top like it was before. Thanks for all the support guys! The fuzz is sounding fantastic, I wish I could record a sample but currently my only "amp" is...

Cool, I ordered up some 2.2uf and 22uf on ebay

I've been looking at tantalum caps to replace the electrolytics as film caps of the appropriate values seem to be huge in size. Would that be a good choice? I haven't used tantalums before, but I understand they are polarized.

Thanks, I'll try that the next time that I open it up! It would go where I drew the red arrow on this schematic, right?

Thanks!

Thanks!

I built the body myself actually! I used a template that had the vibrato route location but I'm not sure if it's standard or not, could be a little closer.

Hey there it's a Tuffset bridge; it's an expensive part, but really well made/designed. It retains the rocking function of the original offset bridges, has adjustable individual string height, everything locks down tight so there's no rattling etc, sounds good, and most importantly it stays in...

Oh yes sorry, I was originally going to do a Copper Clad but decided on a one-knob (volume only) Fuzz Face

I got the pickguard on and all strung up and the fuzz sounds really great! Thanks guys for all the help! 🤘 The hiss is still pretty loud, so next time that I order components I will get some non-electrolytic caps to try and replace C1 and C3 But overall I'm stoked!

This is the layout that I used from Amplified Parts. The trim pot is in place of the 8.2k resistor that connects with the Q2 collector. Yeah I guess I'll not worry about it (y)

Unfortunately I don't have any close non-electrolytic caps to play with, I could orders some though
