    Sunflower fuzz-very low output

    I set the external bias knob to noon, then bias to -4.5-ish volts. I suspect it was a combination of clean trim, lack of bias and maybe the original Q1 transistor just not being happy with everything lol. The 308 seems to be much more "accepting" of an idiot's approach that I seem to employ...

    Sunflower fuzz-very low output

    Indeed. However the loop on the EUNA shuts the buffer off and activates whatever pedal is in it.

    Sunflower fuzz-very low output

    Honestly I have no idea what’s changed. The bias knob is fully counter clockwise. Taking the fuzz out of the 29 Pedals EUNA effects loop seemed to wake it up. I swapped the original q1 308B (I think, GT308b?) back in, and it’s great now. I don’t think the other transistor was the issue though...

    Sunflower fuzz-very low output

    I’ll reflow and report back. I believe the trim pots are the right values, unless I managed to mix them up. I can double check that as well. I did remove the fuzz from a pedal efx loop in was in, and some volume and fuzz returned. But the fuzz is super farty sounding…

    Sunflower fuzz-very low output

    I did not. I have a breadboard set up to do this but iM still new enough at all of this that I need a visual vs. the schematic. I know it’s a simple set up but alas…

    Sunflower fuzz-very low output

    Just built this last night. Q1 measured 79, Q2 I think is 150 or so? Maybe a bit less. Biased Q2 to -4.5v, and the clean bias trim is all the way down. I hardly get any fuzz, I have to dime both volume and fuzz, and even then it’s pathetic. Built to specs, the only thing I did different was...

    Weird LED issue making pedal non-functional

    I sorted it out, by removing the switch pcb and just wiring it manually. I’m clearly not understanding vital element when using a switch PCB. If I use the LED pads on the switch PCB, how do I power the LED? There is an extra 9v/ ground pad, I figured I would just run 9v and ground straight to...

    Weird LED issue making pedal non-functional

    I am using a Love my Switches switch PCB, and a prewired LED w/ resistor. My last pedal, I ran a wire from the dc jack 9v and ground to the respective solder points on the switch PCB, and everything works. My most recent build, a Bellum MK ii, when I do the same thing, the pedal doesnt work...

    SOLVED Prewired LED issue

    Just looking, can anyone tell me what’s missing or going wrong? I’ve followed instructions (presided w/CLR, red goes to red, black goes to black) and well as images I’ve seen online and everything seems to check out. Pedal works, no LED. I know it works because when I jump it to 9v and ground...

    What's your favorite tremolo pedal circuit?

    I have two trem pedals that I break out for specific needs. 1-Dreadbox treminator. I like this because it has a feature where you can delay the trem effect to come in right away and taper off or have the effect slowly (or quickly) build. i do not like that fact that it has a CMOS buffer, and...

    Percolation Station transistor guidance requested

    Hi All, Im currently building a Percolation Station. The schematic calls for a 2N404A in Q1 and 2N3565 in Q2. I have these components ( I have a 2N404 non A). In one of the reviews, someone mentioned Albini mods and a BC108 transistor. The place I got the others had these so I grabbed a few...
