Silly delay that I’ll probably never use with a setting that can conjure robot farts? Welp, I’m in.

Yeah, that might be an issue. :) When I pull my ? flanger, is there something specific you’d like me to look for? Voltages? Pictures? Let me know and I can dig more information for you.

So, I’ve been working on trying to make a 1590A based pedalboard that is something I can grab and go that covers almost all bases. Enter the need for a fuzz. This is an EasyFace from Joe Gagan with two Ge transistors rather than Si/Ge. Q1 is an MP35 with about 50-70 he and Q2 is an MP38 with...

I’ll have to check mine, but I think I had to do something with the MN3207 clock chip’s voltage to get it to work correctly. I’ll look at it tomorrow when I have time.

I really think the Purple Platypus is a fun circuit. It does, like you say, get weird. I actually need to grab my DeFx version and fix the octave switch - there’s still bleed through of the octave and I want to make it on/off. 5/5 good pedal and great graphics.

You know, if you don’t trust it, you can always send it my way for safe disposal. Just to make sure. Ya know. For your safety.. mumblemuble

Do you have access to a hair dryer? Use it on the backside of the board and pop the chip out. Otherwise, I’d invest in a hot air gun shown above.

Going to lob an idea out to look at as well: double transistor pinouts and voltages. I had an issue with the EQD Depths LFO stalling and checking/replacing the transistor and I think reflowing the leads to the dual gang potentiometer helped immensely.

Sign me the hell up. Burnt wire, singed caps, and at least one pad where I had to remove and reinstall something a couple times? Im shoe in to bring up the rear.

Gonna have to sell a kidney for parts.

On the plus side, it kinda works. It’s now stuck on. I think I used the wrong power supply (there’s a weird one for a Flamma reverb that provides 9vdc but doesn’t play nice) and that’s why it was not working. Kinda want to get an ultra fuzz and the other lead distortion they make, but they...

Thanks for the leads Feral. I’ll probably try the company and see if they can give me a part number or a replacement part number. And no, it’s not an apparition: it’s the same part in my zoom pd-01 that I don’t want to cannabalize. It sounds really good, depending on how you use it, and your...

Here’s a few more pictures with metric units and a top view

It’s a 6 pin switch. I found the manufacturer in another switch type but not this. It’s quite small and has a pcb pin footprint. I’ll get more info later.

Attached is a picture of the Zoom switch for on/off. I had it working, and it’s now seemingly gone kaput. I know you super sleuths can find it! (I did check but no dice)

Pickups are nothing more than really big inductors (not directly, but ya know)

/looks at this work of art /looks at own pile of pedals /frowny face Dude, you’re killing it. You know how to find the right aesthetic for each circuit you build.

Seeing this thread popping up makes me wonder if I need to gut a wah and stick-ify it. Wait, we all know the answer.

If they don’t work, I’ll dispose of them for you. :)

TL;DR — I am dumb, overpopulated the board, jammed up the voltages, and caused pedal no worky. Pulled extra components and read correctly = pedal worky. Some of you may have been following along with The Idiot’s Guide to Building A Deeptronic Freeze Pedal. Today, we finish the guide. Final...
