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.

It was however it’s been re traced.

Done - it would seem it’s coming from the D4 and 5/Q4 region !!!

Thanks dude - need to find someone with one now 😂

Thanks dude. No ICs in this one. There are only a hand full of different components to the P2, hence my confusion.

Hey all, how do you guys start trouble shooting a noisy pedal. I’ve worked out it’s not the PS as it does it with a battery. The noise is the same with any guitar with the volume up or down. When you play you can’t overly hear it but when not playing it’s like a sand storm. Holding the strings...

Cheers Bro
