Just finished up the build and before I post in the trouble shooting section I figured I would ask a few questions here since Im very new to tube based pedals. First, it takes a few seconds for the pedal to turn on, is that normal? The bassman build I did seems to turn on instantly but my...

Super excided to get this build started, but while I wait for everything to arrive figured I would ask some pre-build questions. Since this is my first tube build is there anything I should be mindful of with this type of build, or is it pretty much like any other pedal build? Is there any...

I kind of messed up and wasn't paying attention when I ordered some electro caps and got some 6.3V ones. Should I just toss these or any reason to keep them?

Got everything put together and the good news is I get signal passing through the pedal when engaged, bad news no rate LED and no noticeable effect. I can kinda hear something when turning the pots up and down, but its pretty much nothing. I think there is an issue with IC1 as its voltages are...

So pedal is working but if I turn the PRE knob past about 11 o'clock it starts cutting out like its not biased correctly. I cant imagine that a pedal would be designed to have that much of a dead spot. Checked all resistors and caps and they are all correct. Took voltage readings with the volume...

Hey all, got some questions on the Pendulum tremolo circuit I was hoping to get some help understanding a bit better. Question 1, does the separation in frequency between the HPF and LPF create the trem effect? I play bass and it just feels like the effect trails off as I go lower on the neck to...

So I got the pedal built and it seems to be working just fine, never had a flanger but sounds good to me. Went to check what the Hz was since Ive seen on here that should be set to 40 kHz but I get 0. I have never had a need to use the frequency setting on my meter but seems pretty straight...

Need some help on this one. Built the pastel preamp but not getting any output signal. Went through and checked every resistor, swapped IC's, and reflowed solder on a few points that looked a little sus. , but still nothing. Have an audio probe and have good strong signal up to R31, but after...

Hello all, first post here but been reading a lot and looks like a really great community. Got my chorus built the other day and after a bit of trouble shooting (had a 4.7 in instead of a 4.7k in R103 and a 51k instead of a 56K in R27) everything was working and sounding great. Gave myself a pat...
