    2N3565 Orientation

    Hi all. I got some 2N3565 that @Robert has for sale on the site and want to get confirmation that flat edge should go at 4:30 where a tab is printed on the board? TIA

    SOLVED Pendulum No Sound When Engaged

    I didn't see and stray wires but I reflowed the connection and a few other solder joints that looked suspicious and that did the trick. Sounds great!

    SOLVED Pendulum No Sound When Engaged

    Thank you @PJS. The first time I measured the ICs i held the back probe to a bare part of the case but this time I pressed to the negative terminal of the DC power and got different results: Top TL074 1 2.65 2 2.65 3 2.65 4 0 5 0 6 0 7 0 8 2.65 9 2.65 10 2.65 11 0 12 3.30 13 2.45 14 4.25...

    SOLVED Pendulum No Sound When Engaged

    I just finished this one up and unfortunately I'm getting no sound when engaged. In bypass it works perfectly. All four LEDs light up, although only the ON/OFF indicator turns off when bypassed, the other three continue to throb. Here are the voltages from the 2 ICs: Top TL074 1 4.20 2 4.70 3...

    Wet / Dry boxing using 2x Signal Buffer / Inverter PCBs

    Thank you every one for your help and suggestions. I put together a diagram, trying to incorporating insulated jacks into a jfet buffer spiltting into two signal buffer/inverters. How does this look?

    Wet / Dry boxing using 2x Signal Buffer / Inverter PCBs

    Alright, I think I can piece this together, but have one more question; If I'm only going to include one phase reversal should it be on the same or opposite channel as the ground lift?

    Wet / Dry boxing using 2x Signal Buffer / Inverter PCBs

    Thanks. I don't think I've used an isolated jack before and when I searched Tayda for isolated jacks nothing came up. What makes them different and do you have a link you could share?

    Wet / Dry boxing using 2x Signal Buffer / Inverter PCBs

    I'm taking another look at this idea: 1) @Robert can you confirm if the Signal Buffer/Inverter has an input buffer? If not could I use the simple JFET buffer or is there a better way to do? 2) It looks like this transformer is what other have used, but I don't under stand how to integrate it...

    Paragon Mini and Octuplet Octave

    Finished these two projects over the weekend. The Paragon Mini gave me a little bit of trouble, but was worth it because I improved my debugging skills. Both sound great. I socket R3 and R20 so I could change the gain levels. I have a 1K resistor in channel 1 played with a couple of values in...

    SOLVED Paragon Mini - no sound on either side when engaged

    @z2amiller that did the trick! Thanks for taking the time to help me.

    SOLVED Paragon Mini - no sound on either side when engaged

    Good catch! They are both off according to the DMM. I'll work on switching them out and report back.

    SOLVED Paragon Mini - no sound on either side when engaged

    A few more details I subbed the MA856 with BASS33. I reflowed all my caps I checked for continuity (there was none). I measured the voltage drop on all the diodes which were all about 0.6 or 0.7 V except D1 and D6 were both about 2.1 V.

    SOLVED Paragon Mini - no sound on either side when engaged

    So this breaks my streak; my last few build worked without any debugging... The pedal works in bypass but I get no sound when either or both sides are engaged. The LEDs light up fine. I reflowed a bunch of pins, but after measuring voltages on the OpAmp, I think that is where the trouble is...

    Wet / Dry boxing using 2x Signal Buffer / Inverter PCBs

    Hi all, I would like to dip my toes in the Wet/Dry amp world. I was thinking of using 2x Signal Buffer / Inverter PCB's but have a few questions: 1) Do I simply wire both boards to the the tip of the input or is there a better way to do it? 2) Is there an easy way to add a ground lift to one...

    3-way splitter

    Thanks @MichaelW I'll have to give him a lesson. I recently got a Little Sister to go with my Fillmore 25 and have wanted to try doing a wet dry setup. I've been debating using this splitter or the PPCB passive ABY. I would go with the passive ABY in a heart beat if it had a phase reversal.

    3-way splitter

    Nice clean build @giovanni Does any know if this would work well to split for a wet-dry rig?

    Low Tide (Finally)

    I had previously tried to build the mini version a while back but failed, and was never able to debug the problem. I had always want to get one of these on my board, so I decided to give it another try. This time I decided to not make things any harder than they needed to be and went with the...

    What's on the workbench?

    Hey @Robert any update on that 4Tap?

    4TAP DC/DC Converter

    So it looks like the IEB0105S09 DC/DC Converter is not available anymore. Mouser is recommending IE0509S as a replacement. It looks like it has the right specs; Can anyone verify if this will do the trick?
