So I have a Parentheses that I've been using for about a year now that's having an odd noise issue. Sometimes it'll just be really noisy and scratchy, and then the noise will go away. Turning on other switches (namely the octave) will bring in noise too, but switching the octave or distortion...

Wait, those are 1uF caps? Not 1nF? How did I not notice that the entire time I was building this? Well, I just replaced them with 1uF's, and now the pedal works! But is the Depth knob supposed to act as a volume control when the Phase/Vibrato switch is set to Vibrato? Thanks for the help...

Hello everyone! I finished up my Circulator PCB today, but unfortunately I've run into a problem: it transfers a clean signal with bypassed, but when the pedal is turned on, the output is very, very quiet and tinny. Flipping the Phase/Vibrato switch to the right slightly boosts the volume, but...

Apologies if this question doesn't make sense at first glance, but I don't know how else to word this. I've never used a compressor before, and I'm not exactly sure I know what I should be listening for when I use one. Are there any settings I could try to really find out if everything is...

I took the guts out of the enclosure (going to rehouse it), and I checked C7's value and for shorts. It's the right value, and while I didn't see any solder splatter or stray wires, I did clean up the area anyway by lightly scraping away some flux near the solder joints with a sewing needle. It...

So I've finished a SOFTii build that works as expected, but I've got two odd issues: 1. If the treble knob is at 0, the pedal is silent 2. With a lot of gain and the stoner mode engaged, you get a splat-y tone when you dig into a note/chord Audio Clip : https://voca.ro/jv6BZJFf0Dc The...

Got the AN307's and put them in. The octave effect still has some volume drops when it and the distortion is cranked, but it's much less pronounced now. One step forward, one step back... @blueimpala I opted to use LED's for D3 & D5 because I prefer LED clipping for RAT pedals. They're much...

Apologies for reviving a dead thread, but I figured I'd make a little update for posterity: I ordered some AN307's from SmallBear, a supposed 1N34A work-alike. I'll make another post when I finally get them and try them out, for the octave section. I started having an issue with the sound...

Update: I tried various things to fix this volume dropping issue. 1. Removed the 1N270's from D1+D2 and tried BAT46's (kinda cool but got ringmod-ish sounds on higher octave settings), and 1N5817's (much more subtle and "musical"). Both still had volume dropping and swells when octave +...

Tried out your suggestion with flipping D1 and D2, sadly it didn't seem to help. I recorded another demo: https://voca.ro/mso3qlVeXtF And yes, Nostradoomus, I get the volume swells on low notes too. I notice it when playing without the octave as well.

Just finished my Parentheses build a couple days ago. Every footswitch and knob works, but I'm noticing some serious volume dropping/swells when I have the octave mode engaged with high gain on the distortion/fuzz switch turned on. I recorded a rough audio demo here (octave mode comes in around...
