@Nostradoomus isnt she lovely 😂

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck 🤣🤣🤣

Hey all, any recommended alternatives for the MPSA18 to go into the Abyss. I know they are not expensive but I have literally just placed an order with my supplier. I was thinking 549c ???

Hey all, recently built a flatline - super simple build !!! However, with any smudge of dirt it sounds like a helicopter i.e. it’s making this super quick pulsing sound. The more dirt, the worse it’s gets. Any thoughts ???

Thanks Robert you bloody legend

Hey there, is there likely to be a ‘Thanks Giving’ sale before I drop on a load of boards 😂

Nope - just a bare old pot, it’s not touching the board though

Hey dude, I’ve litterely checked everything I know how to check. I did not know Q3 was a buffer and can certainly live without it. I wondered why it sounded mostly the bloody same 🤣

Thanks dude - it looks like this now bufferless

So as it happens - it did not fix it !!! I reflowed everything and double checked but same problem. I’ve bypassed Q3 now and it sound fine !!! Bloody frustrating .

Thanks dude, think I have some 2u2 boxes. I hate de- soldering 😭

And then I realised this … C1 + C4 are in each others spaces !!! It’s obvious I’m no expert but I’m thinking that’s my issue right there !!!

@Nostradoomus Are these pics any better. 3.3k are decently 3.3k. I’ve just done the voltages and interestingly the emitter was 8v and the base and collector around 3.6. Q1 and 2 are half these. The base of Q3 shot right up and then settled at 3.6 ???

Thanks. Will whip it out tonight when I get home from work and post some more pics.

I’ve posted this in general but am not sure how to delete the post so I can put it here. Oh where do I start !!! I’ve build several of these without hiccup, really easy build - until this one. The pedal was exhibiting a super low volume and then nothing. I ran my probe and all was good until...

Oh where do I start !!! I’ve build several of these without hiccup, really easy build - until this one. The pedal was exhibiting a super low volume and then nothing. I ran my probe and all was good until till the output of Q3. I figured that it must of been a dud transistor. I cut the bugger off...

Hey there, it was a post by @music6000 iv searched and can’t find it anywhere !!!

Thank you all for chumming in. It would seem they are ok 😂

Hey all, just got a new batch of caps but all I could get are low ESR. Done some googling and searching on here but can’t get a definitive answer as to if they are actually ok in guitar pedals. What’s people’s take on them.
