And that is likely the cause of my pedal not working, correct? I mean, if you install fakes, should the pedal still work but sound different or not work at all? Also, I installed 2N5089s from that same eBay seller on my Muffin Fuzz Triangle... It sounds ok but not my favorite pedal, am I...

Thank you! Calling eBay! ?

I'm I correct if I understand that: -The Drain (Transistor pin 1) has to connect to the + on the 9v battery. -The Source (Transistor pin 3) has to connect to the negative of the multimeter as well as the negative of the 9v battery. -The Gate (Transistor pin 2) doesn't connect to anything. -The...

So is this the setup I need to use to verify if the transistors are authentic or fakes? Sorry, I'm VERY new to this... and looking at even simple circuits like this it's still confusing to me.. I have a cheap multimeter and a 9v battery. So should I put this together on a breadboard or use...

I was able to get this reading:

I bought this tester a few days ago and still haven't used it or know how to use it.. will this tester give me this Vp value? Or if not, how can I get it with a multimeter? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07S86XBPV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hi, here we go again.. I finished building this PAL 800, and when I first turned it on I got some intermittent overdrive sound but only responsive when I strummed hard, if I played soft no sound... It almost sounded as if it was gated... Went back to it and now I have 0 sound when on and full...

Spousal unit! ? Me: - Can't do it in this particular moment.. I don't have time right now.. I'll get to it.. Wife: -But you have time to build pedals right? If you spent half the time you spend building pedals doing this and that... blah blah blah... hkdi ejk fofiuf buum saklihs skdjhfh ksh...

That nf to uf conversion on the caps dymos has to be super handy too! ?

Great options, I need to start preparing it.. nice big tayda order on the way! Should last me for another... month? ? This hobby of ours is a little addictive... My wife is starting to question if I REALLY NEED 20 types of overdrive and distortions... if I'm really going to use every single...

Super neat!

Hi, I'm getting ready to receive what's going to be the 4th and biggest Tayda order I've ever placed... I have a few small part cabinets and I'm wondering how to organize all the parts, especially capacitors and resistors. I've been storing all resistors in their little pink labeled baggies in...

Unfortunately, I don't know how to do this mod... Or any other mod yet.. ? I read that info on a comment in another forum while researching LM308s, maybe you can contact the owner of that comment. It is comment #15 in this thread by someone named Jack...

Same here.. not 100 but 50 years old with same grid! I'll do some research.. ?

What is the best "affordable" power supply for pedals? I bought a d'addario 9v adapter and it whistles like crazy with most of my pedals.. sometimes I prefer batteries... is there a DIY option?

Alright I'll go with that! Thanks!! By the way, what do you think about this? : Noise level optimization is something that I'm definitely interested in for all my pedals.. But only if it doesn't cost me quality.. I guess pedals are noisy and you just have to be ok with it lol..

Found a better option ?: https://buildyourownclone.com/products/lm308n

I was about to check out on Jameco but for two 308N, they want to charge me 13.90, + 4.34 shipping + 6.10 Min. Order fee.. = $24.34! ? Any better ideas? eBay is full of them.. but that thought again.. are they real? Would you trust any of these...

? You're 100% right! This is the fun of it! When I listen to the tones, I'm imagining how will they sit in one of my productions/mixes.. And that RAT with TL071 feels like it would "cut" more.. the other ones could "muddy" a little bit more.. but I see how you can like the OP07 too.. it's a...

Awesome! Got lots of 1n5817s from Tayda... Some other builds I'm doing next, called for those too.. I bought 20.. how do you match them for voltage forward? I want the STRONGEST octave effect! ???
