I am at my wits end! When I first finished this build, the boost wasn’t working and the drive was, but the LEDs were still lit in bypass. I got the LEDs figured out by wiring the stomps manually. Then the drive side stopped working. At first it would still make sound, but really ‘fatty’ then it...

I’m having issues with this pedal also! LEDs staying on, on both sides, and no signal, or a fatty signal on drive side. Did you get this figured out, by chance??

I found, on a different thread, the schematic for the Fordoble boost + drive. In case anybody needs it.

Oh man! Yeah, I’ve gone thru that too. Although, I usually docket all my clipping diodes, so I just had to reverse them.lol A cheap, lil components tester off of the Bay of E can help out a lot with stuff like that. The only thing those testers have given me trouble with are jfets. For some...

No problem! Good luck! Hope it sounds great. I’m getting anxious and excited waiting for my Tayda order to arrive so I can build my Fordoble drive, and a pot & kettle. Waiting is the hardest part!!lol

They gave us the drill template, on a different thread, but not the schematic or anything else yet. Here’s the template: https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/drill/1590BB-DrillTemplate_Fordoble.pdf

Any chance of getting the build documents for the Fordoble drive + boost?? Or at the least the schematic??? Please???!!??😁

Hello, alright, so I’m building my second paragon and the pedal works, and everything, but the red side is slightly but very noticeably quieter than the yellow side. I’m not sure what’s going on. I have it wired up for 9v instead of the 18v, both sides are normal gain. They are both set to clean...

If I misunderstood chucks response, then that’s my bad, but I think there was just a few more ways that his ideas could have been conveyed. I tried to explain that I am starting out in pedal building. And, people like chuck are the whole reason I came here, to learn from them! Both of you, and...

Really bro?! Are you gonna report me? Shoot! I might lose my license to breadboard, huh? And soldering, I’m screwed! They gunna put me in the hoosegow, surely! Cuz I have had more than 3 cold solder joints I’m sure. listen man, I didn’t come here to be patronized, and I sure as hell didn’t come...

I’ll definitely figure out the power supply, and get it down a few volts. But, does that matter or effect what I’m using it for? Because I’m not using the charge pump at all for this circuit I’ve thought about color-coding my jumpers, but I didn’t know if I’d have enough, as I only have one...

Mouser has, or had some not that long ago. About a month or so ago. A lil pricey, but I’m sure they’re legit, coming from mouser. At least that what I assume!

The IC pin voltages are: Pin 1: 6.87 Pin 2: 6.83 Pin 3: 6.82 Pin 4: 0 Pin 5: 6.85 Pin 6: 6.89 Pin 7: 6.90 Pin8: 13.69 ‘9V’ : 13.99 Vref: 6.99 (from header on protoboard) 6.85 (from circuit regulator) I get signal, or voltage going all the way thru the circuit. Even at the output...

I apologize about the’Rats Nest’ but idk how else to do it, or take the pics, but here they are. This is supposed to be a Mahayana circuit: Let me know if and/or how there’s a better way to take pics of this.

You are SOOO right about that! This isn’t my first pedal by any means, but it’s also not my 100th either.lol it’s just this protoboard. I’m trying to make one of those Missing Link Audio Peacock Drive pedals. It’s supposed to sound like Duane and Dickey in a box, and it’s just a modded zendrive...

I’ll get a pic in a lil bit. But, I may have figured out my problem. I’ve been plugging my Vref from the power section onto the Vref headers on the protoboard. I didn’t realize that the power section was making my Vref voltage already, and when I checked all my voltages with a DMM, the ic pins...

has anybody else had any f@$&*#g problems getting a circuit to work on this god-forsaken thing????? I’ve built a Mahayana circuit about five times now and haven’t been able to get it to work.....AT ALL!!! Is there anything a noob should know? Like where it calls for Vref, ya can use the header...

Ok cool. Thank you very much for your help!

oh yeah, that’s right. But the original KoT doesn’t have a charge pump, and I believe there are more caps in it than the paragon mini. I’m just trying to figure out the differences. also, what makes up the “high-gain mod” that you can get on the KoT when you order one? Is it just the 250k gain...

I just noticed, after ordering the paragon mini, at there are differences in component amounts between the two. The mini having a few less resistors capacitors and diodes. Can anyone tell me why that is? I’m sure there’s a logical reason, but idk it. It’s prolly above my noob electronic skills...
