Oh ok. Bummer. That makes sense. Thanks man, my knowledge of buffered bypass switching is lacking… Bummer.

Heyo! Probably a fairly dumb question, but just want to make sure. Can you use the pedal pcb buffered bypass daughterboard pcb as a regular true bypass one? Obviously just ignoring the “BP” hole. I can’t see why not??

Think I’ll do that man!

I did omit it on my last build. Smooth sailing so far.

I just wanted to build it as an exact clone. Also I wasn’t sure if maybe there was a reason for it that would be circuit dependant. Like a high pitched whine etc. I have some alternate charge pumps around. I’ll give em a try. I have used the max before with no problems, but I’ve also heard...

Thank you! I’m honestly leaning toward defective diodes. It happened on both klons I built. I’m going to try the 100ohm resistor.

No these were two separate builds. That’s why it’s so weird 🤔

I might try a small current limiting resistor. This happened on two separate builds. Something is fishy.

Cool Klon dude. That’s some tidy de-gooping. I’d have no idea how to go about that!

So basically he fried it. Anyways I’m getting mixed up. I build nice looking well soldered pedals, but when it comes to very finicky circuits I’m still a bit ignorant. I’ve learned a lot but there is always something new. I’m a bit confused because you say you use a supply with 1000ma and...

My bad the ones I have are 1/2 half watt. The original Klon is 1 watt. Some very knowledgeable (much more then me) people said it’s fine. Some top posters. Are you sure about the one spot? Wouldn’t it be frying all sorts of pedals? 1500 ma?? If your not building tens of thousands of pedals a...

I meant 1/2 watt.I’m guessing this is a dumb question, but how do our other components survive down to 1/8 watt then?

Hey guys I asked a question I thought I knew the answer to a while ago here to confirm before building a Klon for somebody. It was confirmed. I asked if a 12v 1n5242 1/2 watt Zener diode was ok instead of the 1watt version. I didn’t and other people didn’t see a problem. Well one fried while I...

I’m probably not experienced enough to be offering advise. But I had a similar issue, and it turns out I blew my Zener diode because my power supply was a little over voltage. It’s extremely sensitive it seems.

No worries. Yes judging by number of lugs on the board and the fact I have to check continuity it ain’t worth it …. I guess just wiring the old fashion was is easier. I’ll save it for the 1981 DRV. Thanks man.

I was under the impression it was buffered bypass, my bad. Oh possibly. I think that time I was asking if I could use the regular breakout board. Ive learned a lot since then I should know better haha. I’m in a rush figured I’d just ask.

Thanks. Even if the board is for true bypass eh? That’s a shame :(

Hey guys. I would like to use a pedal pcb buffered bypass daughter board I have with the awful waffle pcb…… since it’s true bypass and all. Can you please see my pic showing the breakout board next to the pcb? I have no idea what hole goes where….. There are extra holes on the breakout board so...

That’s good, because it’s already in haha. Thanks man.

Hey guys! I’m about to dig into a cliche mini. I’ve been building for a year and haven’t built a Klone. Crazy right? haha. Anyways I see it calls for this zener 1N4742 Zener diode, 12V 1W DO-41 I ended up ordering 1N5242 12v 1/2 watt Zener instead. I don’t see a problem subbing these. Do you...
