    Deeptronics Freeze pedal Troubleshooting

    There’s space, but it makes me nervous because the tab has the 3.3V flowing through it. I put heat shrink on it for safety. I’ll post a build report since it’s up and running.

    Awesome. I like the art of the pedal in the upper right. Upper middle reminds me of the purple/orange you get at sunset around here.

    Deeptronics Freeze pedal Troubleshooting

    I turbo-dumbed it again. Grabbed the wrong regulator. All the voltages are correct.

    Deeptronics Freeze pedal Troubleshooting

    Update: Positives — voltages are better by the TL072. Nothing weird happening. Have to remember to put a ground wire from the audio ground area to the DC jack ground (it’s still on my workbench and not boxed). Case in point: RTFM. Negative — still weird voltages off the voltage regulator...

    That’s good enough for a keeper for me! Regarding the LfO.. so, I have a version that is partially SMD, partially through hole that had an LFO that stalled. Your first choice to go film caps seems to be a good first step. Second would be to look at the transistor and make sure it has enough...

    A multimeter that can read frequencies over 50hz

    I bought a cheap Aneng M108. It helped me calibrate my flintlock so far. Hasn’t helped me figure out the audio issues…

    Deeptronics Freeze pedal Troubleshooting

    Weyulllllll. Maybe I overstuffed it and couldn’t read. Sometimes me do dumb. Lemme reread and repopulate the board.

    Deeptronics Freeze pedal Troubleshooting

    Here’s a couple pictures. Ignore the terribleness of the pots, etc. I’ll get those cleaned up once it gets boxed. Left is back side, right is top side. DC comes in from the upper right. Odd thing: tying the 1/4” jack ground to DC ground causes the voltage divider for the TL072 to go from...

    Lectric-fox Flintlock: Losing Audio

    Okay, here we go. New 2n5457. Have sound through the pedal! But it’s really really muffled. So far, I have the clocks and frequency calibrated, but I’m still losing audio/minimal output right around Q1. I did replace the diodes, checked the resistors, etc. I had just temporarily put the 2n5457...

    I’ll see if I can get them tomorrow. I’m starting on the Flintlock Flanger first. Progress, but still beating my head.

    Deeptronics Freeze pedal Troubleshooting

    Update: still weird. I’ll post more, but with no regulator in, all 3 pins get full voltage. Voltage divider doesn’t hit 4.5V. Putting in the new regulator outputs nothing. This is a weird one. I’m thinking it’s coming down to the Audio Ground and Digital Ground needing to be tied together at...

    Nobels ODR-C (Aion Andromeda Deluxe)

    Oh yeah, the “idiot screwed something up”: I didn’t get one of the ICs seated correctly in the socket. 3 pins had bent over

    Nobels ODR-C (Aion Andromeda Deluxe)

    Welp, after moving from the swear words to “jeez, the idiot overlooked something”, I have stumbled upon a functioning ODR-C from AionFX. Quick testing straight into a power amp (I know, I know) sounds darn good. It’s not YATS - there’s a LOT more going on. It cleans up nice, the...

    This pedal really holds my board together - Abider "the dude" pedal

    The tight fit’s like, your opinion, man. (The graphics and knob choice are fantastic)

    Deeptronics Freeze pedal Troubleshooting

    As long as it’s a 3.3V regulator, it’ll work. I really appreciate it. You guys are the bestest. At least my mistake can be guidance for others.

    I believe so. I swear I double/triple/quadruple checked pinouts and the board

    Deeptronics Freeze pedal Troubleshooting

    Welp, went to the data sheet: yep matches what’s on board. So I pulled it and put it on a breadboard temporarily. Come to find out pinout is reverse on mine from data sheet. So, that’s a plus. Downside: no extras. Probably going to use one of my bigger 78l05 and then make a voltage divider to...

    Deeptronics Freeze pedal Troubleshooting

    Okay, so this past weekend I’ve been batting 0 fer every single dang pedal. But this one has me a bit stumped. When I take out the diode from the DC (which goes to the 3.3V regulator), I get normal voltage but obviously nothing to the rest of the pedal. If I reverse it, I get about 9V on the DC...

    Lectric-fox Flintlock: Losing Audio

    I nuked the mn3207. I can get sound through the pedal with a MN3007, but only if I jumped from the band of the diodes over past the FET. Also, I can only get the frequency from 69.9k to about 2.2Mhz. But I think my meter is butt, so might have to roll with it. I replaced the 1M (r24) and the r22...

    Lectric-fox Flintlock: Losing Audio

    Yep. Did that. Might just do a bit of adjustment by ear with the 22k/FET/1M section until it works.
