That's what I was thinking, the squeal isn't super loud but it does change tone when I move the oct pot.

Hey, sorry I lost a little motivation and took a break. So, I socketed Q2 through Q3 ( I flipped them around to see if that was an issue too) and I am still getting the same effect. The tone of the squeal changes when I move the oct pot.

No it just acts like a volume control.

ok I do have dry guitar coming out of octave pot leg 1 & 2 after socketing Q2. Usually I don't have this hard of a time lol.

No, nothing out of the octave pot. I keep coming back to Q2 as that has absolutely no sound coming out of it at all. I might pull it and socket it. Somewhere between C3 and Q2 I am losing the sound. maybe having the wrong resistors busted it or something.

So, I turned up the gain on my probe and was able to hear sound coming out of Q4 and Q3. So I plugged it in regular and a weird thing happened. When I turn off the boost side I got this like old internet connection type sound. I am going to keep checking all my components. I am using the OP07.

Ok now I am confused, I replaced those resistors but still get no sound after C3.

Let led me right to my issue. Every single 47R and 47K I mixed up. I am going to redo these and then try the bypass again. I was building another one for a friend and I managed to do those resistors correct.

I do.

So, I flipped those diodes and swapped them out for another type, and the effect is the same. So the issue must but the chain I am assuming. I think its time top bust out the multimeter.

Hey so I removed the bypass and the problem persists. When I turn the octave pot down it cuts the effect, when I turn it up I get that loud background noise and this sort of squeal, it hard to describe, I almost didn't notice it at first.

I did look over things and cleaned the board a few times. I agree I'll remove the whole bypass and see what happens.

Hey everyone, I am having some issues with the Intelligent Relay Bypass on the Octave switch for Parentheses Fuzz. I am getting no octave effect, both boost and fuzz work. There is an insanely high noise even with gain turned down. When fully Turing octave pot the there is no sound, other wise...

I'll start a new thread, I do want to say weird thing. I jumped those two pads and lost the distortion effect. Second I cut the jump the distortion came back. But yeah I'll start a new thread.

I don't know the term but when I test to see if electricity is going through any of the diodes down stream from the switch it says zero

Yeah all the diodes attached the the rotary switch aren't showing anything on the multimeter.

Oh that a great idea, I did but out the multi meter and some concerning things.

Oh yeah I like the community around this much more. I have found its harder to solder the PPCB boards (because the holes are smaller). but there is over all way more support here.

No, it wasn't responsive. I even switched the momentary footswitch cords thinking I might have mixed them up. The octave pot basically doesn't nothing except when turned all the way down it cuts the effect. So I figure there might be another issue, but I need to rule out the footswitch. I am...

Hmm yeah still just an insane amount of noise. I'm going to set up a normal 3dpt and hope that fixes the issue.
