Not passing signal when bypassed is usually an indication of a couple possibilities: - bad connection on input/output jacks - something is awry with the 3PDT wiring Taking a closer look at the distortion wiring it's tough to tell exactly what's going to what but it looks like you might have...

Thanks y'all! The knobs are "the pharaoh" from lovemyswitches. Definitely going to build something else with them at some point and pair it with that ridiculous gold 3PDT they sell for ultimate luxury :)

Whew ok so this is my second go at the Parenthesis...first one was supposed to be mine, second was for a friend. You can get the lo-down on how the first run went in the troubleshooting forum :) This one, however, turned out great! It's going to an old bandmate in NYC who makes sludgy doom...

An update on this one: I finally worked up the courage to take another swing at it. So close yet so far. I've replaced the octave diodes with some soviet D9Es from (what I think) is a reputable supplier. This time around, though, I also took the time to match the voltages. Assuming I'm...

That's great news! I'll play around with it, thanks for the reply! The more I think about it the more upset I am they didn't name the original the "rooster booster." Huge missed opportunity.

Sorry to revive an older thread but I'd love to hear more about the output cap you're using for the 2n2222a builds! I'm doing a build with those already and since they're cheap and Tayda stocks them I was thinking about having a go at this circuit with them. I'm guessing without the cap it still...

I'm not far from there! Around the intersection of Lakewood and Golden. Really liking it out here!

This is really good to know since I'm in Denver! I didn't realize they sold on ebay as well (although I'm not really seeing anything in their store right now, unfortunately). For their warehouse the turnaround has been pretty good for me; I just got shipping info this morning for an order I...

What GE diodes did you go with? I'm about to do an order for parts for another one of these and am trying to get that dang octave working :)

It's tough! Funny enough I'm a big fan of the green russian muff for band stuff, but I do have to nearly dime the tone control to really cut. A tubescreamer in front help a bit, too. If only I could get the BYOC tonebender I built ages ago to do the trick...it sounds so good solo but the minute...

My partner and I have been a little bored and stuck inside and...well...this happened. Art is all her, reusing acrylic paint from our halloween costumes years ago (we were La Croix cans) and then clear coated to hell and back. It's been super windy and the pedal took a spill while drying, so...

That's the plan! Very much not in love with the idea of an electrified enclosure :P

Good point! I've been debating building one of these for a while now and this is pretty much the last little push I needed to go through with it :)

Yea I've been using that middle one for most of my builds (it's nice looking and tiny), but I do have concerns about longevity. It also has to be screwed in from the inside, which is a little inconvenient for testing pre-boxing. Is there anything on the datasheet of that lumberg jack that...

Looking at the DC jacks page on Tayda I'm realizing "through hole" vs. "panel mount" might be a clue, although I see this one, which looks to be a much cheaper version of my problematic Lumberg jack, unless it's isolated in some way I can't figure out from the picture.

Hey pedal pals, I've been building a few Informants for some friends; first one this morning went great (well enough to post in the build reports!), so I figured I'd have a go at another one. Essentially identical parts, all from the same order. It works! Until I go to box it up. With...

I have two more of these queued up for some music friends trapped in their tiny NYC studio apartments, but I built one for myself to start with in case things went south. Pretty happy with how it came out! Nowhere near as cool as the 1981 Inventions aesthetic but this is one of the only pedals...

Here's the carnage. Peeked behind the pots as well and haven't seen any obvious cold solder joints but I'm curious if y'all spot anything!

Thanks so much for all the advice! I tried the jumper to no avail. In the process of disassembling everything (it's a tight fit!) I somehow managed to make matters worse and now no signal passes through when it's bypassed. Doesn't seem to be a loose connection anywhere; I need to do more...

Smart! I'll give that a go this evening. Totally forgot about the jumper.
