    Crunch Captain Deluxe low volume?

    Ain't got that either, but I'll definitely have to pick one up next time I order some pcbs!

    Crunch Captain Deluxe low volume?

    Ok thanks. I do not have an audio probe, I should probably make one sometime Thanks! It wasn't touching but it was pretty close

    Crunch Captain Deluxe low volume?

    Resistor and cap values all seem to be correct; what would be the next move, taking the board out and reflowing everything?

    Crunch Captain Deluxe low volume?

    I took readings on all the resistors, found some abnormalities: -R17 and R19 which are supposed to be 220k both read at 133k. Out of spec but maybe ok? -R1, supposed to be 8m2 and has the right striping, reads at almost nothing; .03ohms. Likely the culprit?

    Crunch Captain Deluxe low volume?

    I recently built a Crunch Captain Deluxe and it sounds good and seems to be working but overall volume is low. With the Mode switch in the middle (classic Crunch Box/high gain) and clipping switch to the right (LED clipping, the lighter clipping option) with Gain at noon I have to nearly max...

    SOLVED Intermittent foot switch issues

    The footswitch on my recently finished Simulcast is having an issue: when in bypass it usually passes the signal normally, but sometimes the signal gets weak/scraggly and goes back to normal if I I softly tap it. What would likely be causing the issue? Bad switch, bad wiring? Thanks

    Installing a fuzz in a jazzmaster

    I got the tantalums in there this morning; a major reduction in noise/hiss! It's still a little noisy, but "reasonably noisy" and not over the top like it was before. Thanks for all the support guys! The fuzz is sounding fantastic, I wish I could record a sample but currently my only "amp" is...

    Installing a fuzz in a jazzmaster

    I've been looking at tantalum caps to replace the electrolytics as film caps of the appropriate values seem to be huge in size. Would that be a good choice? I haven't used tantalums before, but I understand they are polarized.

    Installing a fuzz in a jazzmaster

    Thanks, I'll try that the next time that I open it up! It would go where I drew the red arrow on this schematic, right?

    Installing a fuzz in a jazzmaster

    I built the body myself actually! I used a template that had the vibrato route location but I'm not sure if it's standard or not, could be a little closer.

    Installing a fuzz in a jazzmaster

    Hey there it's a Tuffset bridge; it's an expensive part, but really well made/designed. It retains the rocking function of the original offset bridges, has adjustable individual string height, everything locks down tight so there's no rattling etc, sounds good, and most importantly it stays in...

    Oh yes sorry, I was originally going to do a Copper Clad but decided on a one-knob (volume only) Fuzz Face
