You are correct! I just tried.

Curiously, I'm reading 95k on both R6 (120k) and R8 (470k). I tried from both sides of the board just in case and same reading. All other resistors are right on the money.

Just double checked. Yes they are. i'll check the others again while I'm at it.

Ok so I just tried adjusting the trimpots to get Q1 and Q2 drain to 12v and adjusted Q3 with my ear. Now I can get the guitar tone to clip but there is still a huge volume drop when stomp is engaged compared to bypass signal (at least half if not less). Volume and gain pots are maxed out.

Following your recommendation, I adjusted Q1 & Q2 to get as close as possible to 9V on the drain pin. Curiously, voltage on the drain pin of Q3 will only adjust from 17.61 to 17.78. Is that normal? Adjusted readings ... Pin1/Pin2/Pin3 Q1- 9.13 / 0.39 / 0 Q2- 9.02 / 0.321 / 0 Q3 - 17.71 /...

Wish it would ... would have been a simple fix. It's just the angle of the shot. I took the opportunity check for continuity on all the wires from the the main board to the off board components (switch board and in/output jacks). They all connect using the continuity fonction. Thanks for looking...

Fishing building the Super '64 OD. LED is working fine. I'm getting sound on by pass mode and clean low volume sound when engaged. All pots are turned fully clock wise including the trimpots. I looked at all solders for cold solders, bridge etc. Then cleaned the PCB. I refloweds all sorders...

Your wife knows you use her over liner?

I was just amazed how much static gathered in the mat in just half an hour of usage when I went pull it up from the work bench. Barry, you may have put the finger on my main issue .... I live in Canada which is up north for most of you ... and it's -20f this morning so the heating system is...

Any one uses soldering mats. I bought this soldering mat from amazon. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07WDCMY57/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Found it convenient to work with but it picks up static like crazy. Any one as experience a soldering surface mat they would...

It’s working and it sound great!!! Thanks for assisting!

I had purchased this breakout board to test the 3PDT integrated led and I just picked the 1st board in the in the poly bag for this built. dam ... this should be an easy fix. I'll correct this tomorrow.Thank you for assisting! highly appreciated!

You are correct. The funny thing is I even checked with component tester to identify the EBC and still got it wrong in the end. I'll fix it tomorrow and it should work fine! thank you for the quick reply. That was really helpful. Very appreciated!

Good morning - I've been trying to trouble shoot my toupee fuzz (merkin) for a couple of days now and I've reach the point of seeking for help. 1- Led does not light up. I've tested with a 2032 battery before installing to make certain it functioned and to identify A&K. I tested it again, once...

I have figured storage and organizing all my electronic components except for IC's. Anyone interested in sharing how you store them? Will help me and might also help others! Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply and for the link to the post. Very helpful and instructive. I’ll start with red and experiment. Appreciate your help!

Working on Special Overdrive (Dumbloid) - @ D1 ... i'm suppose to use a 3mm LED diode. My understanding is that different LED color have different values ... Any particular color I should be using? Water clear or diffused matters...

Good evening - getting ready to build a Fichsia Fuzz .... I'm pretty exited to try this one out. I'll be doing the 5 knob version. My understanding is that Q3 is highly driven by the BC550C in Q2. What hFE should I be targeting for Q2 (BC550C) and Q3. I'm planning on experimenting at Q3 with...

Done .... GREAT! Thanks for he quick reply!!! Highly appreciated

Currently ordering components for Muffin Stomp '75. For C11, the layout calls for a 3.9nF 10nF cap & C11: 10nF. Looks to require a polarized cap and by the shape on the PCB layout looks to be an electrolytic cap. 3.9nF and 10nF are quite low for an electro cap. I'm probably reading this wrong...
