Sorry, by "whatever you happen to be plugging into" I meant your amp or computer etc. What happens when you place a buffered bypass pedal before or after the chop shop? What happens when you keep everything constant and swap the pedal out for a different overdrive with mechanical true bypass...

Try pulling the LED and see if that's the culprit. Alternately, it could be DC leaking in from whatever you happen to be plugging into.

Tone Bender MKIs can be really fussy - your options are likely going to be to either build the circuit around the transistors you have or to select transistors that work in the circuit. ie, limit variables and go from there. It's a simple enough circuit parts and connections wise to breadboard...

big cheese fuzz factory anything in the TB MKIII/IV family (buzzaround/park 3-knob/dizzy tone/etc) os mutantes orpheum/manny's fuzz

In that case I'd suggest posting photos of the board top and bottom and going from there.

Did you check the transistor pinout? I've had some OC14X with the dot on C and some with the dot on E in the past.

^^^ good call - I didn't realise Mesas had parallel loops, that's a cool feature for sure.

This: Guitar =>Muzzle SChain in/out=> Wah=>Comp=>Simu Acoustic=>OD (KCentaur)=>OD(TSlike)=>OD(FriedmanBEODlike)=>NUx Cerberus ((reverb on loop)=> Amp (Muzzle in/out in FX loop) But I'd suggest making one change: Guitar =>Muzzle SChain in/out=> Wah=>Comp=>Simu Acoustic=>OD...

Using both jacks for the sidechain passthrough should eliminate any need to split the signal at the source. Go from your guitar to the sidechain in, then from sidechain out to the rest of your pedals. Use the in and out (top jacks) to place the gate wherever you'd like - somewhere on your...

To +1 everyone else, I'm pretty sure you have the I/O wires on the wrong lugs of the jacks. You can see all of the variants of these on the datasheet: https://www.taydaelectronics.com/datasheets/files/A-1121.pdf The different versions add more lugs, but the location of a given lug never changes.

In a passive box, the main difference between the two is going to be input/output impedances. If you take the radial Pro DI and Pro RMP as an example... the DI is 140K in / 150r out; the reamp is 1600r in / 1850r out. In practical terms that may not matter at all, but you might want to add a...

That is very cool! Big ups.

Send one to the butcher, maybe he can bodyslam it on TV.

You can also search around for projects based on the "$5 mic preamp" design, that would be a good place to start. You'd have to figure out a way to add an fx loop though. Radial vocoloco and DBA echo master are two commercial products that would do what you want as well. The mic-to-line...

Cathode/K are almost always the square pad on PPCB boards, so I would imagine that's the case here as well. They're asymmetric clipping diodes so it doesn't really matter too much in this case; if you put them in backwards all that would happen is you'd swap which side of the signal is being...

I don't have hard numbers, but quiet enough for my purposes - i've not messed around with BS170s at all, but this doesn't seem any noisier than any of the JFET circuits I've tried out. I've been using that exact diode-biased setup on a number of pedals and it's been extremely stable. The...

He has or had close ties to an evangelical church whose "missionary work" involves (or at least at the time this all came out, "involved") trying to "eradicate" homosexuality in African countries. According to internet detectives, some/most/all JHS employees have come through that church. When...

I really wish they'd carry a few more hammered finish options.

The pot *is* a pulldown resistor since it's tied to ground. edit: oops - I looked at the schem too quickly and didn't notice that the pot is wired as a variable resistor in the sun face... tying pin 1 to ground per big monk's suggestion gives you the additional benefit of a pull down resistor.
