    Benson preamp (Son of Ben) where to source 2M Linear Potentiometer?

    Hi Chuck, I just boxed this up and im in the process of biasing. I got q2 and q3 drain voltage set to 4.001 v But i used the components above so would me biasing trimmer 1 be different from 1.67?

    the bypass quadrant on the right are all showing continuity even when active is switched. I now learned that you can damage a switch by heat.

    So i did the continuity test for the 3pdt stomp switches, they’re both shorting, i used too much solder unfortunately. But good news is the main board is good to rewire. I’ll just order some new 3pdt switches and try again. Thanks for the help!

    Demont switch and lovemyswitches breakout board compatible with pedal pcb ?

    I lightly soldered this pcb to my foot switch i was wondering if anyone knows of these are compatible?

    Ok so i just clipped the header pins and took off the footswitch board from the mainboard. I just went through the continuity test again and it appears i no longer get the continuity from ground to yellows/purples. However, for the yellows I’m not getting continuity from Out1(yellow) to the 1M...

    Thank you for the feedback. My pedal has 0 sound in bypass and 0 sound when activated. I get a popping noise when i activate the yellow side, but no sound when pop when i activate the red side. However, both leds light up. For continuity, I get continuity for all points, however, I do get...

    Yep, I did wire it the way described. Im baffled.. My LEDS turn on correctly, but there is literally 0 sound. I looked for shorts, nothing. I reflowed and still nothing. :(

    I think i have the wiring to the stereo jacks incorrect.

    Benson preamp (Son of Ben) where to source 2M Linear Potentiometer?

    Ive looked high and low and even accidently purchased a big b2m potentiometer but it wont fit. I also noticed completed builds had B1M Duals but my pcb has the single B2M. Any help would be appreciated or if you have an extra one :)

    Magnetron mag echo build complete!

    This thing sounds killer! I was worried it was going to be noisy but honestly it’s pretty quiet. I added the 25k pot for oscillations with a momentary switch like other folks have built and it rips!

    XC Phase, no effect and dropped volume

    It’s the weirdest thing, it works again. But the effect isn’t as deep and warbly? But thank you for the knowledge of setting it to around 2.2-2.5v, strangely the trimmer is at a different spot than it was before

    XC Phase, no effect and dropped volume

    Firstly, thank you so much for your response. I just measured the gate pins and zener cathodes. Q1-Q4 roughly around 3.7 Zeners roughly 4.6

    XC Phase, no effect and dropped volume

    I'll go ahead and check this: I'm new to electronics so I just wanted to clarify the steps to do this. 1. Set DMM to V DC 2. stick ground stick into ground or enclosure hole 3. stick red stick onto cathode of zener and measure max voltage? 4. stick red stick onto furthest left leg of Q1-Q4 and...

    XC Phase, no effect and dropped volume

    I finished building this a couple weeks ago. It worked totally fine and now it doesn’t and I’m not sure why. Here are the issues 1. When i adjusted the trim pot to find a good spot it would hiss-hiss-hiss in bold mode but not in Script. 2. While i was adjusting the trimmer the led would...
