Man this is such a killer build! I need to try out a stacked board like that sometime soon. Also, I have an Immerse on my main board as well, that pedal is incredible.

I appreciate that! That's one of the many reasons why this forum is so damn awesome. I'll be sure to keep y'all posted when I make more progress on it.

I'm looking at that article now. Sorry if this is a silly question, but would I basically solder wires from the bottom of a socket to a 9v clip and the two separate resistor leads? Then socket whatever transistor I'm trying to test?

That's super helpful, thank you! I'll have a look at that article too. Life's been busy for me lately between work and going back to school and all of that, so I might not have time to take a whack at it for a little bit but that definitely helps to give me something concrete to look for. I...

I don't have a tool for checking leakages (unless there's a way to do that on a DMM?). I got them from either Amplified Parts or Guitar PCB, so I feel fairly confident that they're legit since I haven't had any issues with either of their stuff before. I was able to pop them into a Sunflower...

Yea I'm pretty sure they were in there the correct way. The germanium threw me for a loop initially with a wonky pinout, but once I figured that out it wasn't an issue. I don't think it was the pinouts either since I could get sound out of both sides, but only with my guitar volume knob all the...

Yea I missed it initially as well, there was one hiding out in my bag of TC1044s for some reason. Probably should’ve put an updated picture on there, I swapped out the 072 for the correct chip fairly early into my troubleshooting journey.

Unfortunately no. I tried everything I could think of, swapped out the silicon transistors, reflowed anything that looked sus and it still was doing the same thing. I put it into my drawer of unfinished projects to give it time to think about what it's done for a bit.

Just ordered a couple myself! Thanks again @StompBoxParts and @ThePanda for putting this all together. So cool.

Yea I could hardly tell the difference in that video between it being at noon to fully clockwise. I guess mine is still not cutting any of the high end like it does in the video with it rolled all the way off. So it just sounds like it’s fully clockwise throughout the duration of its sweep...

Yea I’ve got continuity between volume 1 and ground. Also between hi-cut 2+3 and ground when the pot is fully clockwise, and then between all three lugs and ground when counter clockwise. So it seems like it’s going to ground somewhere that it shouldn’t be? I just can’t seem to figure out where

Hey all! I just finished putting together this 25th Anniversary Red Llama build. It's like, 85% functional and I've hit a bit of a wall figuring out what's wrong. The drive and volume all work as should (and sound awesome), but the hi-cut knob isn't really doing anything. I measured the pot...

I'm pretty sure up is left, and down is right.

Man that enclosure color combo is killer! The real question is, though, will this make me sound like George Harrison if I build it?

I think I've seen Robert mention that it comes down to proprietary issues with their coding. Walrus Audio stuff is in the same boat. We could technically clone them, but that would require ripping off their code.

Super clean! I've got one of these waiting to be built as well, it seems like it'll be a fun build. Did you change the way the ground wiring is routed? I've been trying out a few different variations of it since I hate having to cram three wires into one spot, so I'm curious if other people...

Thanks for getting all this going!!

Is there a way to do that with a DMM? Otherwise I’m not sure I do. I did socket them though, so I suppose I could try putting different transistors in there to see if that made a difference. When I’m on the germanium side the weird “ground hum when the guitar volume is all the way down” thing...

I pulled them from a bag I had. Not sure where exactly each one came from, but Q1 is a CDIL BC108C with M5 marked on the side. Q2 is the same but with MD on the side instead.

Oh my god... I didn't even think to do that when I was checking before. I read your comment after replacing the trim pot (which was a feat in and of itself) and got it biased correctly. however, the issue is still there. Super hissy when the silicon side is on, and then when I have the volume on...
