I pulled the board up and it still isn't working. My guess is a bad solder joint but I will have to spend some time troubleshooting

Thank you! I have come to the conclusion that this pedal is cursed.. or has some other issue going on. it worked and then stopped

Update! New 2N404a installed and I am in velcro heaven!

This is also the pin out I found for the si transistor so I've been following that

You're the man

Thanks for the tip. I did not do this, but I definitely will. Can you tell me, is the tab on this transistor facing in towards the board or facing away from the board. Looking at the pin out, mine has been facing the outside but I wanted to make sure

Yessir I took it out to test. Couldn't get a clear reading on any of the legs. It would jump some but mostly it say -0.0

I just ordered more 2N404a's. I couldn't get a consistent reading from the one installed.

Thanks for the input! It is not rust, I think it got a little too close to my iron. I have a 750k resistor I am going to swap out. I will also check the voltages on each side of the 91k and see what's up. To my eyes, my solder joints look good, but I may start checking the wires off board as...

If that works, I am going to change my name on here to "Biggest dumb dumb on earth"

Looks like I might have stuck a 680k in there. I will swap it for a 750k

@Mcknib @fig any thoughts?

I am genuinely stumped. I spent last night and some of this morning verifying the board and the wires to make sure everything is going to the right place.

Okay so unless I am not sure if I am testing these correctly. I am taking the ground from the multimeter and touching a ground point and then using the hot to go between the different legs. These are the results I got- 2N34a B: .867 C: .8 E: .81 2N3565 E: .87 B: 1.4 C: 5.67 I am not sure what...

Thanks! I am trying to make them better. I'm open to any suggestions as well

I know that I need to check my voltages. I will report back once I have done so. The 2N3565 pin out isn't obvious since it is the older style. It's fully round on the top

Update time! I put in a new 2N34A and a new 2N3565. I also swapped those large caps for smaller ones. Good news is it makes sound.. sort of. I am able to hear the guitar coming through but there is a crazy amount of feedback and oscillation. When I flip the switch it just oscillates. No...

Any ideas? I really like how this pedal clips. I just want to alter the EQ a little. Just need to know what to mess with

I originally posted this in the General Questions section, not realizing there is a Modifications section. I recently built one of these and was thinking about messing with the voicing, mostly what the deep control does to the midrange. Would I achieve this by changing c26 and c28? Or should I...
