    Thermionic Deluxe: doubt about clipping diodes lighting up

    Can anybody please check on their Thermionic Deluxe if this behavior is normal? I saw some pictures where lug 6 (middle lug in bottom row) of the channel 3pdt is connected (contrary to PedalPCB build doc) and I'm wondering if this might be the solution. Although I can never see where lug 6 got...

    The Lot Lizard!

    Looks great! I'm waiting/hoping for Musikding to stock this pedal so I can order one, too :)

    Muzzle kit (noise gate diy) , how to mount IC THAT 4305 DIP 20 ?

    If you have the Musikding kit maybe also check if you have a blue/red dual LED. If that's the case try to get your hands on a 5mm common cathode green/red one. The blue/red is not the correct LED and is way too bright. I replaced mine today.

    Muzzle kit (noise gate diy) , how to mount IC THAT 4305 DIP 20 ?

    Here's the wiki page where you see what the pins are on your key jacks: PedalPCB wiki I think there's no way you can remove the soldered pins from the THAT4305 PCB. I guess you need to buy a replacement.

    My second Muzzle is worse than the first?

    No, that's not what I said (maybe I wasn't clear enough). Both my clean sound and distorted sound get gated the same way. I reread your first post above. About the first Muzzle you built for your friend you wrote: "zero hum and no loss of sustain or attack, and it didn't cut the feedback." For...

    My second Muzzle is worse than the first?

    I checked the manual for the Fortin Zuul "Blackout" from Fortin website. I have a Musikding Buffered Splitter so I cabled everything up like on page 2 of the manual, the first example ("4 Cable Method - With FX Loop"). So the Muzzle's left side jack was not connected. It didn't matter if the...

    My second Muzzle is worse than the first?

    Yesterday I tested with pedal chain only, Muzzle key passthrough between Treble Booster and dirt, then Muzzle input/output after Delay and then into the amp. This morning I put Chorus and Delay into the loop of my Marshall Studio Classic and then connected the Muzzle input to Delay output and...

    My second Muzzle is worse than the first?

    Hi Elijah, I just finished a Musikding kit Muzzle as well. It seems to work fine. Wired up the KEY passthrough as per build doc, but it was really noisy. I think because my power supply is isolated. So I connected the sleeves of the KEYs (slanted corners) together with a cable, which sorted...

    Thermionic Deluxe: doubt about clipping diodes lighting up

    Just saw your other question. Yes, when I switch to high gain channel and increase gain of low gain channel far enough, then also the low gain channel LEDs L3B and L4B start flickering a bit.

    Thermionic Deluxe: doubt about clipping diodes lighting up

    Sorry, I don't think I answered your question correctly. Yes, the gain control of the inactive channel has an effect on those LEDs lighting up. When gain is increased they flicker brighter, when decreased they flicker less bright. And if decreased far enough they stop flickering altogether.

    Thermionic Deluxe: doubt about clipping diodes lighting up

    Hi there, yes indeed, when I turn down the gain of the high gain channel and strum while in low gain channel, then the high gain channel LEDs L3A and L4A stay off.

    Thermionic Deluxe: doubt about clipping diodes lighting up

    True. They just light up when I strum, like written in first post.

    Thermionic Deluxe: doubt about clipping diodes lighting up

    Hi Harry, It does sound OK. I just found it a bit strange and thought lots of people already built it so maybe this doubt is easy to confirm or refute. Kind regards, Seb

    Thermionic Deluxe: doubt about clipping diodes lighting up

    Hi all! I finished a Thermionic Deluxe a few days ago and I have one doubt. Build Doc When I'm in the "low gain" channel (channel LED off) and strum some chord, not only the LEDs L3B and L4B light up, but to a lesser extend also L3A and L4A. Is this normal?

    Another day, another question! Recommended silicon transistor for a Range Finder build?

    Also wanted to say what spi said :) I like the Dragons Breath with the 2N2222A. Ranger Finder build doc says "Q1 is typical Germanium PNP spec’d for Rangemaster type circuit". So I'm just wondering if you can just swap out Germanium with a Silicon and call it a day without having the circuit...

    Soldering techniques

    Hi all, I had a little bit of a "revelation" when I was doing the Thumb Sucker. I was reading the Valve Wizard documentation (Link to PDF) and it said this: "Best soldering practice is to tack solder the component in place so it does not fall out, then snip off the excess leads. Then re-solder...

    SOLVED Another Squealing/Oscillating Boogie Monster

    No problem debrad, I have the JFETs in sockets so it's not a big deal. By the way, I just tried the SMD JFETs again with ROG settings. When I put a buffer in front of it the squealing stops immediately. I tried it with my tuner, a TC Polytune 3, which has a buffer built in. Putting a buffer up...

    SOLVED Another Squealing/Oscillating Boogie Monster

    Thanks for the video debrad! I have some spare SMD J201s lying around so I tested with the through-hole J201s that came with the Musikding Boogie Monster kit and the SMD ones. I think I may have been able to recreate the noise from your video, you be the judge. The attached recordings are all...

    SOLVED Another Squealing/Oscillating Boogie Monster

    Hi debrad, Could you upload a short sound sample with all knobs at 100%? I got a Boogie Monster, too, and find it strangely quiet. When I have all knobs at 100% I get what I would call a bit of feedback. But not sure if you're having just the same or if it's completely something else.

    Boogie Monster: picking the J201s

    Hi all, It worked out fine. I went with the through-hole J201 from the kit and put highest Vp to lowest (0.8 to 0.6) from Q1 to Q5. And then I set the drains to a bit over 6V at Q1 till Q4 as per ROG calculator. It sounds amazing. Never played anything with this much gain in my life. Always...
