    The Mesmerizer ( weird pedal )

    Thanks! I'll look at your other thread and see if it helps. I don't get a shape change with rate and depth, but the frequency and magnitude do vary.

    The Mesmerizer ( weird pedal )

    Do you have any way of measuring and reporting the bias voltages from your working example? Can you distinguish between the working and non-working transistors at Q5 and Q6 other than they worked? I am still trying to get my mesmerizer to work now that I have the F0918 and the LFO is working...

    No LED and no bypassed sound but Captain Bit working

    Your switch looks like the sharp edged ones I have had trouble with before. The ones I have used the most from Tayda haven't given me trouble yet. They have rounded corners. I took a picture of these side by side. The one wired in the circuit with sharp edges I have had 3 of 5 go bad. I have...

    No LED and no bypassed sound but Captain Bit working

    Usually when I get the LED in backwards (it has happened more than once), it's time for a new LED, it never works again. :(

    No LED and no bypassed sound but Captain Bit working

    Wouldn't that make the LED on all the time?

    Muffin Factory

    Looks awesome! I am scared to try building this with no schematic. Did it just work? Love the face plate and those big knobs. Are they aluminum?

    minidrive

    I am not positive I got the labels correct, although I am pretty sure the mosfet/silicon one is correct. I just figured it would be easier to remember what I liked if they were labeled instead of just blank. Glad you like the artwork. I owned a car that looked a lot like this when I made the pedal.

    Mesmerizer - LED flickering but no modulation of sound

    Bias voltages: Q1.2 2V Q3.2 2.2V IC1.8 9.12V IC1.3 4.6V IC2.4 9.12V Q4.1 17.4 Here are some photos.

    Pineapple squeal with certain guitars

    I didn't have trouble with squealing, but I did have issues with the pineapple before I go the trim pots that bias Q5 and Q6 correctly adjusted. Overdriver999 suggested this in another thread (I don't know how to reference other threads) Overdriver999================ Bias the J201s in the...

    Mesmerizer - LED flickering but no modulation of sound

    I replaced my XR2206 with the ones from Jameco. Now the LED seems to flicker, but is very bright. I don't notice a modulation of the sound. The image of the output from the oscilloscope is stable too and does not seem to be modulating. Any suggestions welcome. I have attached photos of the...

    Favorite solder lead/tin/silver mix, gauge and provider?

    I use Kester 24 63/37 0.031" I got from Amazon. It has flux, but it says its non-corrosive so you don't have to clean. But I always do. I have been able to even solder a few TSSOP parts with it without extra flux. It seems to wet stuff very easily.

    Another Woodpecker Tremolo

    This is a blue silkscreen painted in with posca pens. Then baked in the oven at 200 degrees for about 15 minutes. I was able to mix the posca pens to get the different yellows and grey, but these pens aren't really easy to mix colors with.

    Another Woodpecker Tremolo

    It has the LMS falcon knobs on it now. I plan to get blue magpies with my next order.

    The Mesmerizer ( weird pedal )

    I also have no oscillation with XR2206 marked F0919. I got them off eBay from some guy in the Fiji islands. I just ordered two from Jameco. This is the same chip the signal generator I ordered off Amazon uses. I am paying as much for the chip as for an assembled and boxed signal generator...

    Son of Ben

    Yes. I think the face came out great this time. The bottom got a little smudged. I think I need a jig to hold the enclosure for the small sides.

    Sounds pretty bad until you get the jfets biased correctly (see directions on schematic), then its pretty awesome.

    Faceplate for supersize Super Hererodyne Receiver?

    Is the faceplate going to be available? I am thinking of doing a silkscreen, but I would rather have a faceplate. Thanks, Todd D.

    Photon Vibe

    Yes. And the knobs too. Those knobs are "the falcon." I have decided I like them better than the magpie because of the line goes down then side. I just wish the falcon came in all the colors the magpie does. Todd D.

    Photon Vibe

    Yes. I made three of them. I just started doing them. I am still not good at getting the screens clean enough. I think some of it is a feel thing with how thick you get the emulsion and doing one screen every six months isn't enough practice. I just need to make more pedals! I have been...

    Photon Vibe

    It would be awesome if you could get the C100K duals in right angle PCB mount, but this pedal sounds great. The design is silk screened onto the enclosure.
