    [Solved] Cepheid Chorus - only the LEDs work

    Thanks for the suggestion of adjusting trim until legs 7/8 are roughly half voltage. I'm getting more reasonable numbers now for all the ICs: TL022: 2-5 (fluctuating) 4.3 3.5-5 (fluctuating) 0 4.3 4.3 3.6-5 (fluctuating) 8.7 MN3207: 0 4.2 3.59 8.12 8.7 4.2 4.2 4.2 MN3102: 8.7 4.2 0 4.2 0.27...

    Sorry for the delay. Yes, my voltage readings follow the order/numbering in your diagram. As for continuity, yes both the Teal and the Red sets in your image have continuity (respectively). R22: Yellow: 8.7v Blue: 2.9v R26: 33k confirmed by both the stripes and double checked with a multimeter.

    Thanks! Yeah, I tried a 4558 today and got the same measurements.

    [Solved] Cepheid Chorus - only the LEDs work

    Update: I'm getting a bit more of a chorus effect now that Fig sent me some verified MN3207/MN3102 ICs. I only notice the effect when I have both rate and depth turned all the way up. Even then, it's very subtle. I have tried dialing the trim pot a bit and there's definitely a sweet spot but...

    Nicely done! Pedal building is more better when you make mistakes, because then you get to improvise a little.

    [Solved] Cepheid Chorus - only the LEDs work

    Scrubbed the PCB nice and clean. It still doesn't work. I re flowed all the joints, tried a few more/other ICs and still nothing. I get a decent tone, sounds almost exactly like how it does in bypass. Just a very subtle modulation/vibe. I'm coming to the conclusion that all of these MN chips...

    [Solved] Cepheid Chorus - only the LEDs work

    I reflowed the joints for R13, R10, R9, C2, and C4. I also checked the circuit with the other MN32017/3102 pairs that I bought. I found that only 2 pairs out of 8 pairs of MN ICs had any effect on the sound. When I have either of these 2 pair in the circuit, I get a very subtle modulation...

    Lol. Thanks for being patient with me. Yes, I had it backwards! Now I'm getting a blinking LED on one side and the other LED operates as it should when engaged. The blinking LED changes speed when I'm turning the rate pot. D100 is now getting 9.09v on one end and 8.85v on the other. The sound...
