    All Time Most Bestest Favoritest Chorus You Have Owned , Played or Heard?

    Cool I just so happen to have mine 98.8% finished (since my pearl flanger was a bust) all I need are 2 more caps and my BF-2 will be ready to check out

    what type of biasing is this?

    Also if anyone does take a look could you tell the purpose of switch 1? seems like a bypass or cutoff

    All Time Most Bestest Favoritest Chorus You Have Owned , Played or Heard?

    I have several Choruses. A Liquid Chorus (I forget who makes it) , a PSK Chorus , EQD Sea Machine , Seppuku Mind Warp, and a Boss CE-2 clone. I love just a taste of chorus a lot for my tones but haven't found THE perfect Chorus yet. What's your thoughts on the Chorus pedal?

    what type of biasing is this?

    After almost 3 years I finally got the correct transistors for my much anticipated Openhaus pedal Madbean's Orifice. Sadly it sounded about the same as with the other transistors I've tried. Saying this exact same thing on another forum someone mentioned that possibly the transistors are not...

    Pearl Fl-01 Flanger

    then on to more troubleshooting it is thanks for the reply And to DeadAirMD fully aware of data sheets dude don't know how to interpret them well but well enough to know the difference of a negative and a positive but thanks for the reply just the same edit : Just read MichaelW's build report...

    Pearl Fl-01 Flanger

    I recently etched and stuffed the board. I had no TL022 and no TL062. Using my limited knowledge and the power of the internet I saw that lm358 and lm1458 are used in some LFO circuits . using the circuit below I subbed IC 1 & 2 with the 1458 and IC5 with LM358 and the board did'nt work. My...

    Procrastinator Issues

    I finally went back to my Slow gear build which did not work initially and I found 2 components that were the wrong value and replaced them. I now have it semi-working. Fiddling with the knobs and trimmer to get it dialed in with no luck As of now it does a half assed job. I have my guitar...

    PAL-800 question

    So many projects I get side tracked but yes all except q4. Then after I try biasing by ear and it just won't get into the crunch zone I'm gonna try some of my thru hole ones they test much higher then the mmbfJ201s i got from Mouser

    grand orbiter

    Coming back to this one AGAIN| I'm hoping Chuck D. Bones has a minute So you mentioned if R28-30 is off I'm sure you meant the resistor value my question is ( I used the 1% resistors) how off is tolerable? It's been so long now so I'll probably yank out one end to actually test their value and...

    Multi function tester TC-1

    Just finished working that exact one up. Hopefully you are able to answer a couple more questions 1 - For the Vp measurement it says to negate reading to obtain actual Vp. I'm unclear as to what that means and 2 - reading x 10 to obtain actual IDss in mA does that mean whatever value I get...

    Multi function tester TC-1

    Thank you for the reply . Just to be clear the info I get from the multi tester is basically useless? I mean for matching Jfets and finding out other parameters of transistors and Jfets? And yeah when I got this the DCA 75 was a bit too pricey for me hopefully sometime in the future

    Multi function tester TC-1

    I got one of these recently. Problem is I don't know if any of the information is really relevant to me and pedal building. I was hoping someone could help me decipher the readings I get from the tester then trying to compare that info to the data sheets but I'm really just pissing in the wind...

    5th Openhaus Attempt Solved

    just an update I tried 2n2369a trannies in this and all I get is mild overdrive with some sensitivity to how hard the strings are hit the mid acts like its wired backwards and I don't hear any change turning the treble pot. Looking to get some 2n1306's and hoping it'll spring to life the 2369's...

    Hunting a new distortion

    Since I'm ALWAYS up for new high gain pedal I've yet to find something to knock my Valhalla out of no.1 spot. With a tube screamer before it and a BB Sonic stomp after has been a killer sound for me. I'm still waiting to get my openhaus up and running but I have a feeling it may too dark for...

    A 2N1304 2N1306 AND 2N1308

    I think I have the answer but asking anyways So my build calls for 2n1306 I have 2n1304 and they have a bit less gain than the ones called for (2n1306) My question is since the 2n1304 have a barely any overdrive and I think I can get genuine 2n1306 BUT if I could get 2n1308 would I get even more...

    OPENHAUS ORIGINAL LAYOUT

    Finally! Changing IC4 to TL072 I got signal to the output jack. I’m using 2N1304 instead of 1306 cause I got them by mistake. Since I only got to hear the signal for a sec or two with everything cranked up I’m not hearing cranking hi gain. Since 1304’s are less Hfe than 1306 I assume is why I...

    5th Openhaus Attempt Solved

    Bean , I'm hoping you are still around , and if you could take a look at this supposed verified layout. I ask only cause I only build them and know nothing about laying out and by looking seems exactly like yours except a couple discrepancies because aside from what we both found on your layout...

    5th Openhaus Attempt Solved

    Really thought I had this. In the uploaded pic the green is where I get signal and the yellow is where I don't. I reflowed the solder in that area with no luck and been trying to check the layout to the schematic but I don't see anything else wrong. Could anybody steer me in some direction to...

    5th Openhaus Attempt Solved

    So yes exactly what I was thinking you confirmed it. So Q6 needs the Gate and Source swapped and the LND150 need to be flipped opposite what the layout shows and I get signal all the way to IC4 pin 3. Furthest I've gotten on this I'm gonna assume no signal on the out jack is gonna be something...
