the first time I pulled this off (bit commander) it took over an hour and about a meter of desoldering braid. and several gray hairs. honestly I thought I had butchered the part and the board, bit nevertheless it preserved!! I then had a game plan to desolder this one, and it took less than 15...

what power supply are you using? i had a charge pump whine at high gain with the Celsius CE-1 preamp, and a higher quality power supply solved it.

I think this might be the issue with my data corrupter... it's the first textured paint enclosure I've used...

Can we get some pics of the soldering? Might be something a different pair of eyes could spot quickly.

nice lineup! never seen the greenies before, I'm sure they were super annoying to squish in there lol

So this pedal is super fun and cool!!! I love dialing a fat saw bass noise, then running that into the Octaclave. Key note, primary side of the transformer points towards the top of the board!! I had to do surgery on a grape to get the transformer out, and it left a ton of damage. I also...

tldr; Good pedal. Primary side of the transformer goes towards the TOP of the PCB. So far I'm really enjoying this pedal; even more so once I flipped the transformer around! It was a pain in the ass but I managed to unsolder it and jimmy it back in. I used D9B diodes, I have some others I might...

yeah i'll try straight-from-the-bottle isopropyl in the morning. the fibers definitely made themselves known and assured me that the qtip is not the right choice.

I used alcohol and a qtip and got so-so results; what's your weapon of choice? Still some residue I couldn't gently remove with isopropyl. It was diluted, FWIW (I use it for houseplant pests).

i've been running on a dedicated supply solo. no added flux, just from the solder. maybe i cleaned up some spots with desolder braid, that might've had a little bit. still no dice, thanks for the advice, i was unsure when flux started needing to be cleaned up.

i had R23 as 5.6M since i didn't have 10M, i just tried chaining two 5.6M's. still the same issue. also swapped the CD4046. still raging about putting the transformers in wrong on the bit commander and octave clang :mad:

realized i did this wrong on the bit commander too... so fucking pissed. they still sound cool but man i fucked that up. biggest mistake for me so far, especially since it's two pedals. oh well. spent 30 minutes to to desolder... that ain't happening.

damnit 🤣😭

another round of messing around with knobs and looking through the circuit, there's some type of noise no matter which oscillator is isolated each oscillator makes a different noise, so whatever issue is upstream from the oscillator section, and then getting processed by each oscillator if my...

the duocast is my favorite pedal so i'm excited to build the british royalty (it's on the way). the other transformer pedals i've built have been awesome as well. i think it's the key to the "console-style" saturation sound.

reflowed some joints and swapped out the CD40106, still getting the noise. i think it might be early on in the signal path, since whatever noise issue is getting converted to an oscillator (maybe somewhere in this section of the diagram? not sure). any advice on what to try next? this is one of...

I bought one of these but I haven't tested it out yet, this type of stuff is a while new frontier compared with overdrive circuits! is there a difference between the part numbers, or are they different mfgs or something like that?

what did you use? I almost got lazy on my first FV1 build and used a 10p but I'm glad I waited. I don't understand what it does other than something to do with the crystal, so that's why I'm curious. Nice job debugging!

the Elysium sounds amazing, I built it from the kit and I just love it. lush and warm, I would not call it "lofi" or anything like that. It's very smooth. Just my two cents.
