Any updates on the buffer board?

I was just about to request the board but I see there are some issues with the current batch. Hopefully the supplier makes it right.

I’ll be interested in getting a buffer board when they’re in stock.

I put my buffered bypass Klon Klone in front of the Black Eye and I can max out the gain and volume without any squealing (besides the normal high gain feedback).

This thread has blown up since I’ve been gone lol. Mine won’t squeal unless I have the volume up past unity (about 9 o’clock) and the gain maxed. I’m going to try a buffer in front of it and see how it sounds.

I picked up a Source Audio EQ2 a few weeks ago and it’s been fantastic. I was easily able to tame the highs on the Duocast with it.

Mike Soldano said the originals got a bad rap for being noisy because of ground loop issues. He said lifting the ground would take care of the issue but he couldn’t put that in the instructions for liability reasons.

The original GTO was a chonky boi!

I went over the board looking for any shorts but didn’t find any. After I got it mounted back up it started working right so who knows lol. There is still a little squealing if the gain is turned up all the way and the volume is at unity. Backing off of the gain a little takes care of the...

So far I have not been able to stop the pedal from squealing. Swapped to a 1spot power supply, added shielded in and out wires, put tube shields on, still squeals 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ve also thought about using Cerakote but I don’t think the waterslide would adhere correctly.

What gun are you using now? I have a 2001 Yamaha Raptor 660R that I’m fixing up and being able to coat all of the small parts would make life mucho easier.

Amazon says my 1Spot will be here Sunday but I have my doubts lol. I think I’m going to get a powder coating gun and go to town on all of my pedals.

I’m going to try this one. True Tone 1 SPOT

I double checked my pedalboard PSU and yep, it’s rated for 250mA per outlet 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

Tried swapping tubes and made sure they were fully inserted with no change. I had a couple of tube shields laying around so I tried sliding them over the tubes which helped quite a bit but something still doesn’t seem right.

To my surprise all the parts showed up today and I just finished getting the Black Eye together. It sounds great until I turn the gain up about half way and then it starts feedbacking non-stop. Any ideas?

I’m about 1.5 hours away from Mouser’s Houston warehouse so I normally get things the next day. I really need to learn how to design my own artwork. I will probably end up getting Adobe illustrator for awhile since there are so many tutorials for it.

My board and enclosure showed up yesterday. I won’t have the rest of the parts until Monday though. Oh well lol.

First time ordering from Tayda 😂
