There’s really no ‘value’ in diodes. The parameter that’s measured, usually, is forward voltage, or Vf. That’s just the amount of voltage tit takes for the diode to turn on and conduct, if I’m not mistaken. But, I wouldn’t worry about all that until a build calls for a certain range. Any GE, or...

That makes sense! Thank you for replying.

Prolly a stupid question, but I gotta ask! Is it different than in a guitar volume pot? Where a larger value volume pot let’s more highs thru? I.e. Fender uses 250k to quell some of the highs, and Gibson, at least on the reissues, uses 500k pots to let more highs thru to get rid of the ‘wooly’...

I believe it! That wouldn’t surprise me.

Probably! But, I do notice a difference in smell from leaded to non-leaded. Maybe different flux, idk.

Soldering extractor fan??? That takes all the fun out of it, and ya don’t get to enjoy that sweet, sweet smell of molten leaded solder!!! All kidding aside, I do like the smell of leaded solder. It takes me back to my youth when my dad would be soldering something, and I could smell it. That may...

I don’t believe this one is solved yet for the OP.

That’s friggin awesome!!

Damn Robert! You act like you’re busy or something, c’mon man!lol thanks for all you do!

Somethings fishy if the Archer is doing it too. That means it’s something that the archer has that the kliche OD DOESNT have. Now, finding that is the problem. It’s all the same circuit (well, I think the archer has stuck to the original circuit!) what does the Kliche OD have that the rest...

YEP!!! My first build, I bought two Refractor boards from Aionfx, which are their Klon Klone. Luckily, my dad helped me with them, so they both eventually worked, BUT I should’ve definitely picked a simpler circuit. Less to go wrong, better chance of getting it up and running with the least...

Just for the record, it was Music6000 that noticed the op amps. I didn’t notice that until I read his post.lol I agree with everything Feral Feline said, also!

For that exposed trace under the electro, you could take some stripped insulation from the wire you use, and put it on the leads of the cap, to raise the cap a little bit so it doesn’t touch. I wouldn’t be too worried about the trace.

Dude, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you’re gonna have A LOT of desoldering to do. Those op amps are flipped, and you soldered them in. You really need to get some sockets for the op amps!! If i was you, I’d order a new board, seeing as it’s your first build. You’re gonna be chasing...

^This 💯

Any chance in getting the updated schematic for the snouse blackbox with the tight switch?

Reflow all solder joints, there are some joints that don’t look like they are right.

This is where you gain your desoldering experience points!lol I still catch myself wanting to put them on the wrong side.

Anybody??? Anything, please?!?!?!

Congrats on getting the pedal working!!! The only thing is that 470 ohm resistor may burn up your LED. The ‘normal’ value for an LED resistor is 4.7k ohms. The color bands should be yellow, purple, brown, gold if it’s a 4 band resistor, or yellow, purple, black, brown, brown, if it’s a five band...
