There isn’t a schematic but my guess is those are clippers so I wouldn’t expect them to light if the signal was going directly to ground. No easy fix you just undo the nut and then there is a washer with a little nub on it. You pull that out turn the shaft all the way counter clockwise then...

Hard to tell but is this ground wired to the output?

The voltages seem odd. I would expect 8 to be 9V. Out of curiosity does it work if you pull the Mosfets? The resistors all seem right. The caps I can’t really check. Otherwise i would wonder if maybe there is a component leg or something running to positive somewhere it shouldn’t.

Super clean first build! Nice work.

This was probably the hardest build I have done to this point. It was fairly tight and took some thinking to get everything to go together right. Other than messing up on a few resistors value I got it working pretty quickly. This thing probably has the steepest learning curve of any pedal I...

I would try to repair the board. Clean it and the replace these guys...

Nice work! That’s one of my favorite boards.

Very cool I like the unique layout for the pots and switches. Also I am a fan of LEDs for eyes.

I think this one is my favorite of your Mandala series.

my guess is this spot on C3. I’m not sure why but it looks different. I’m pretty sure C3 is there to prevent oscillation. Also I’m not familiar with the 1458.

I would reflow the joints in the pot that are causing you the issue. While doing that inspect that there are no rogue globs of solder, component legs or strands of wire. From there occasionally I get a pot thats not very good. It’s also possible that a portion of the pots leg could be...

My guess is that something is making a connection to ground that shouldn’t be. If you have a multi meter I would poke around in the repair you made and see that it all connects to itself but not to ground. From there I would look T the switch and make sure none of the wires coming from the...

I think the PT2399 is in backwards.

I haven’t done one of these but the little bit I’ve messed with the rotary switches before you put the washer in position 2 did you turn it all the way counter clockwise? I think you can get stuck in the wrong 2 settings otherwise.

This thing was one of the more involved builds I have done. Completing it kind of feels like a right of passage. The build went without issues and I feel pretty happy with my layout and soldering throughout. It sounds great and I look forward to experimenting with it and learning more about...

Thank you to @dan.schumaker for letting me join the DS-2 build party late. Nice job putting this together this thing is dense and still quiet. The boss DS-1 was the first pedal I ever got probably around 1999. It was my main distortion until I broke it trying to mod it around 2005. It’s fun...

Here is my Aion beta built with lead values. This is the first pedal I’m using my new shielded cable on and it’s proving to be very quiet. My plan is to use it for any long internal runs on all my future pedals. I knew this thing was going to have a ton of gain on tap and get heavy but what I...

I thought I would share what I do with the majority of my pots as it might be helpful. I line the wire up on the back of the pots like this then wrap them around. If you have a long run you can strip just the end off. Here it is with them all wrapped. If you make the 3 legs different...

That came out nice. Is the faceplate brass you shaped and put water slides on? If you do another build you want to post there is a build reports section.

Isn’t the gain of an op amp with negative feedback increased with resistance? What about changing R7 to something like a 10k? The palisades and dunes which are TS variants use a 22K and 10K in the feedback loop there.
