https://pcbguitarmania.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Ash-Device-Building-Docs-1.pdf I removed the jumper leads and installed new pots and the noise changed it’s just really cloudy and static like…I double checked the resistors they look fine I had a flim capacitor in the wrong spots I fixed...

Ok I’m back on to this Jcm 800 nightmare I set all transistors voltages at the gate to the recommended specs accept Q5 it’s supposed to be at 5.6volts but the trimmer on goes from9.5v to10.97v … the pedal plays fine while playing but at idle and not playing it has a ton of static it’s abnormal...

I wish I could post a short video… it’s strange

Im running it near two power surge protectors I’m going into my other room to try it with my orange amp… it still does it after replacing transistors and capacitors… it must be the wires and the pots I order a pedal pcb version today… it’s sucks I only put those jumper wires from the pcb to...

Yeah I know what you mean I’ve had that happen before when reading tabs off my phone but I wasn’t near any phones or computers but ring now I’m throwing in three new transistors and new electrolytic caps… I’ll keep ya posted I wish I had a cheap voltmeter to Check hfe I have a fluke 175 and I...

Oh yeah Q3:7.72v Q2:1.6v Q3:4.59 Q3 is selective most with the trim pot. Voltage was taken at the collector on each transistor…I can’t believe I’m having trouble with a simple build. I used a 4k3 resistor instead of a 4k6 and a 43k instead of a 46k resistor. I wouldn’t think that would matter much.

Yeah I did that thinking I had bad grounds. That shouldn’t matter they are connected. I’m wondering if I need to use sheilded Wires … only mother things I can think may be wrong is the transistor’s or the electrolytic caps…

Still makes a static squeely sound with small beeps and also picking up a radio station when the pedals on…

The fuzz knob is working better now… after the film capacitor mix up… still a really bad static sound… what is strange is that when I plug the pedal into my champion 110 amp it still makes that squealing like a little bit of like a beeping Morse code sound with a little bit of static but then...

My bad I posted this on the wrong thread…

I put the right trimmers in now and set the bias but trim4 and trim5 only trim 9-10v and of course the pedal sounds like static. I will get back to this pedal later I’m having trouble with a simple pedal

I just put together manias ash device which is a super simple board. Well I had a klon type enclosure around because I’m low on enclosures I used it but I had to use jumper wire from the pcb to the pots. I usually always use heat shrink on everything but I’m low on that also… so the issues with...

Yeah I Remember that just after I posted that message that the trimmers were 100k. It gets confusing when I’m thinking about two different circuits at the same time.

Nice will I just order the pedalpcb!! Dba fuzz war and can’t wait to put it together!!! I’m having trouble with the PCB Mania one.:( I took out c8 and c9 and don’t know what to put in there because I had one 100n in one and 47n in the other… I have a 3362 10k for this but I seen a picture...

Oh you are correct sir I had this same issue with the Dba fuzz war pedal … I have a extra set of 3362 20k trim pots could I use them or should I hold up and order the correct trim pots… will it make a huge difference?

Hello well I’m on to another build after bad luck with a Dba fuzz war pedal. The only Thing I can think of is that I must have damaged the board on that one.well anyways I am working on this Pcb mania JCM 800 and I’m having trouble with these trimmer parts I’m not sure of the pin out and it...

I’m going to get that doom fuzz. It looks nice…I’m putting a guitarpcb blues breaker together today… and I’m also building so many other pcbs at the same time. It was supposed to keep me sane during the winter months. I maybe getting ahead of myself but for one thing I know I found the right...

Yes it’s very addicting I planed on doing these projects over the winter but I have started all of them the soldering I think I’m ok at it I’ve been a auto technician for Mitsubishi and Saab dealerships and for a birthday present one year a friend who was a solder person by trade game me a fluke...

Great! Some of my electrical components are coming today in the mail I can’t wait to get to work on trees circuits and order some more!

thank you very much this hobby isn’t cheap. I just hope these diy pedals are as good or better then most pedals they Emulate. I like the mods and the fact of changing the sound with different components and diodes.I have already built one riot pedal which was a pcb I ordered from Poland off of...
