I plan on it

Ok I’ll get on it. I won’t be able to do it all today but I’ll get started. I’ve got some parts for restock showing up tomorrow

I’ve got a question for you guys. I’m here at work but of course my overthinking brain is somewhere else. Could I breadboard up the power section and just up to the point I’m stuck to see what I get there, or do I need to do the whole thing.

I appreciate all your help guys. Tomorrow after work I’ll hit it again. I’ll triple check those resistors and I’ll verify if the gain pot changes volume when rotated. Thanks guys

Ok Chuck. I guess I’ve been having some senior moments. I’ve got one of those Positive Grid Spark amps that’s been sitting in my room for over a year. Totally forgot about. The audio probe should be ok going in to that one shouldn’t it? I tried it out but I don’t see a whole lot of change. I can...

I have just confirmed that I have continuity at all of these points.

It’s a pedal I made with the klon buffer in it. Just the buffer and nothing else. Will that suffice?

Ok I can try that. Just trying to avoid having to work upstairs in the bedroom, or lugging an amp head and cab out to the garage. I’ll try the buffer pedal first.

Will do as soon as I’m back at the bench. Thanks

I’m actually using an old pignose with the probe. I’m using a looper pedal for my signal

Good morning Chuck. Reflowed solder joints on C-6,7, R-9,10. Inspected all around the area under high magnification and I see no signs of shorting or broken traces. Resistance at Gain pot=519k, R9- 736K right side, 1.73M Left side

Sweet.

That’s badass. Where do you acquire the eyelet board?

Here’s what I’ve got so far. At Q5-G I have sound. It’s not distorted sound. With the boost on it’s close to unity gain with my input signal. With boost off its quite a bit lower in volume than input signal. I then chose distortion is bad from your flow chart which took me to lug 3 of gain...

I have faith.

Got it. That will be my next move then. Thank you for your guidance

Ok Chuck. I found the negative leg of c19 was pulled out a bit. I removed and replaced. There’s still something not right. The only way I can make it sound remotely like a distortion is with all 4 pots maxed and the boost engaged. Without the boost engaged it sounds like a weak overdrive...

Ok thanks for the analysis. I will start my search there and see what I can find. Thank you again

Hey there Chuck and Music6000. I swapped out all 5 of my Jfet’s. It got rid of MOST but not all of the farty sound when picking hard but something’s still not right. I’ve heard this pedal and mine’s missing a whole lot of distortion. Here’s all of my voltages. Maybe you guys can help steer me...

Thank you for taking the time to look it over. I’ll check them toggles after work. I’m starting to question those interfets myself. I knew the gremlins would catch up to me sooner or later. I’m about 30 builds into this hobby without one hiccup. Now back to back to back pedals. I’ve got the Emu...
