    dumb question: trim pot to surface mounting pot...which lugs?

    I know i should know this. But if i want to move a bias pot or any other internal trimmer, what goes to what lug wise Imagine a triangle pointing up (pinout for most trimmers on these boards) does it go left, wiper, right? I'm sorry this is super noob stuff

    adding a master volume to the chickenhead

    well there goes all my credibility... Fixed: works perfect.

    adding a master volume to the chickenhead

    @Big Monk snap. I just realized. It effects my volume even when the effect is off. (which makes total sense, no idea how i didn't see that coming)That's my only hangup with it at the moment. I wonder how to incorporate it somewhere in the circuit? I run it as an "on all the time" so it's...

    adding a master volume to the chickenhead

    works great. I had a 100k linear layin around. feels nice and even. solid.

    adding a master volume to the chickenhead

    Even simpler than i had imagined. Thanks again. You've given me lots of good info in the past few days. I surely appreciate it.

    adding a master volume to the chickenhead

    What im trying to do may be impossible with the board, but I'm interested in it even if i have to go perf. I built this tweaked rangemaster and it hasn't been turned off yet at all. I made 5 more and gave them as gifts. I'm full on in love. I'd love to be able to add in a simple post gain...

    Same old parentheses fuzz octave issue.

    Yeah the whole pedal works great just not the octave. I have flipped them back the right way. This seems to happen in about 50% of these builds. I ordered the Mojo russian DE9's but everything else has been verified and tested. As soon as i get back to my notebook I'll post voltages. The...

    Same old parentheses fuzz octave issue.

    update: i swapped in some new 1N34A's into D1 and D2 and oriented them backwards to the screen print. Black band facing down instead of up. It's doing almost exactly the same. No octave sound and turning up the octave kills the output as you go..... But now it's def also bringing up a hum...

    Same old parentheses fuzz octave issue.

    I dug thorugh some older threads but most are for the older board. I used 1N34A diodes across the board in D1 D2 and D8 and D9. It seems like I have the same issue. (no octave effect and turning up the octave knob cuts volume) I just didn't see where we landed because I'm not using old school...

    Adding a bias pot to the Tone Vendor

    Yup. I really appreciate your work. I'll update when i settle on a layout and get it boxed up.

    New relay boards.... looper build questions :-)

    So i grabbed a handful of these when they became available. Used the BOM (latching) they provided here on the forum and im LOVING the results in the first three pedals i put them in. Feel's like im making premium stuff. I have an old 5 loop switcher i made back in the day. It's been dead...

    Adding a bias pot to the Tone Vendor

    I use graph paper and a pencil because I'm a dinosaur apparently :)

    Adding a bias pot to the Tone Vendor

    This is EXACTLY what im looking for. I'll start drawing it out, but I'll likely have more questions as I get it in progress. Thanks so much. I'm actually putting in a box with the sunface so it's particularly irritating to have all that control on one side and zero bias adjustment on the other.

    Adding a bias pot to the Tone Vendor

    It's nearly impossible to get rando ebay transistors to bias right without swapping out resistors. I'd like to add a bias pot (I've seen trimmers that fit in a narrow resistor spot). Looking at the scheme I'm suspecting the 8.2k, but i want to go about this the right way. I'm open to...

    modding the informant... input needed :-)

    UPDATES: I finally threw in the towel on trying to figure out how to incorporate the "switchable" buffer on my relay switching versions.... Couldn't decide on the buffer or not so..... I just did them both. Bigger dude has the "stock" soft touch switch and buffered bypass The little fella has...

    Couple of broadcasts... Duocast and simulcast builds.

    Definitely. I have the low at minimum and the high cranked currently. The tinkerer in me wants to be able to set trim and lo cut for both sides. I can get both sounds I want out of it on either side, but not without turning some knobs in-between (like how the higher gain stuff sounds better...

    Couple of broadcasts... Duocast and simulcast builds.

    I've been deep into the "always on preamp" style pedal hunt. Benson, Rangemaster, Chickenhead, Various Optical Comps etc... Finally got around to trying the hudson. Both are built with NOS oc71's from tube depot. Triad transformers etc. I had the cool neve knobs everyone loves on the big...

    modding the informant... input needed :-)

    I've got everything wired up and ready to box and test. I'm hoping someone has a clever solution to retain my ON/OFF switch for the buffered bypass This layout: the user Manfesto hooked me up with a layout for the buffered bypass to the relay 1. connect your 1/4” input jack to the “IN” pad...

    Teach me buffered bypass :-/

    True wizardry. Got the latching relays built and ready for three pedals. your layout modification is perfect. While i was waiting, i did the following to "hear" the buffer in my chain (informant overdrive) Any chance i can modify that to maintain my switch? I understand the premise of what...
