    My buffered bypass pedals are producing squealing under certain conditions.

    With a stereo jack, how would I wire that up? I also have these jacks which have a tip switch.

    My buffered bypass pedals are producing squealing under certain conditions.

    Pedal with power. No engaged/activated. There is a cable from output of pedal to amp. Nothing is plugged into input. Oscillation/feedback produced when twisting knobs, gain and tone on both Kliche and Informant builds that are buffered bypass.

    My buffered bypass pedals are producing squealing under certain conditions.

    Weird thing that happened: When I “held” the wire for the input jack (between jack and board, because on these buffered pedals the tip for the input jack goes straight to the actual board), the sound went away.

    My buffered bypass pedals are producing squealing under certain conditions.

    I have tried different cables, amps, outlets, rooms. (It’s the only pedal in my path.)

    My buffered bypass pedals are producing squealing under certain conditions.

    Yes different power supply and different rooms and different amps.

    My buffered bypass pedals are producing squealing under certain conditions.

    Kliche (Klone) and DRV (Informant). I have not built any other buffered pedals bedsides those two.

    My buffered bypass pedals are producing squealing under certain conditions.

    I think you are probably right. Truth is the only way to replicate my issue is to set up the pedal in a manner that most people would not (plugged in only to amp, powered, dimed, then start twisting knobs at random with no guitar plugged in). Especially since the circuit itself has no other issues.

    My buffered bypass pedals are producing squealing under certain conditions.

    Very weird issue that I am having. Example Video: I incidentally discovered this while doing QA on my pedals - I get squealing when the following conditions occur: (1) Cord plugged in between amp and pedal. (2) Pedal is powered but effect not engaged. (3) No cord plugged into input jack...

    Diode bypass switch for Percolation Station

    Thank you. I just completed my build and this works. I appreciate your response.

    Diode bypass switch for Percolation Station

    Sorry for delay in response. Yes, the idea is to disconnect ("lift"?) the diodes. Here is a picture of my wiring diagram:

    Troubleshooting Son of Ben Preamp Pedal

    I know this is belated but I actually started from scratch from the new revision, and it works. I truly believe it was my shoddy soldering skills combined with my subpar soldering iron. But thanks for the assistance!

    Diode bypass switch for Percolation Station

    Hello, Hell, I am working on a Harmonic Percolator clone. I want to add a bypass switch as seen here: Link. I have drawn up the following diagram. I will be using an SPDT ON/ON switch. Is my diagram correct in my thinking?

    Troubleshooting Son of Ben Preamp Pedal

    Thank you! I will work on those. I’ve actually built 20+ pedals; 10+ from PedalPCB. This is my first PedalPCB that hasn’t functioned. I think I went into this pedal with a poorly tinned iron, which is why some of the joints look really shady.

    Troubleshooting Son of Ben Preamp Pedal

    Good evening. Currently working on the Son of Ben (Benson Preamp) pedal. I am not getting sound when the pedal is engaged - however, the LED is turning. Furthermore, I have built an audio probe, and it appears the signal drops when I reach C6 in the schematic. To note: I used jumpers for...

    Do the Informant and Kliche have buffers?

    I’m curious and I can’t find info on the subject.

    Informant Overdrive

    Quick and fun build. I really love how this pedal sounds; high gain but full bodied. I play music in the vain of Brand New and Thrice, and I was super impressed with this pedal. The only modification I made is switching out the Cut pot (A100K) with a linear pot (B100K). I think it gave me more...

    Abyss

    Where do I begin. I built this up on June 16 and it worked like 20 minutes but then the LED would stop oscillating and just stay on. So then I confirmed every component was correct then resoldered all my joints, which required me to also scrap the dual gang pot. Luckily I always buy 3-4 of the...
