With the mod it's a really nice overdrive pedal, that cleans up well. Yesterday after I modded it, I set the gain to be on the edge of breakup with the guitar volume rolled back, and used it as an always on pedal.

I just did the mod and am really happy with the results. Both the volume and the train are much more usable now. Thanks!

The Flock Harmonizer was a fun build and the header pins really made everything fit together very neatly but I did have to bend the pins connecting the 3PDT board to get it to fit. The Flock get some wild sounds. The pedalboard took me a while to get completed, and I had to enlist the help of a...

Okay I got it working! I went through and re-seated all the IC's in their sockets, and sure enough it worked for me. Thank you everyone for helping, and putting up with my noob mistakes.

Okay, so I went through all 9 positions and ran a continuity test between the header pins and the center pin of the rotary dial and found no problems. I did notice when testing it out that only the base and master pots do anything. It gets a great fuzz tone, that sustains for a really long time...

Thanks, I will try this out tonight. Hopefully this will show where the problem is.

Awesome, thanks. Yes I know how to use DMM in continuity mode.

Thanks. I was trying to figure out which pins to check continuity between. I understand the pins outside the circle are the selection, but I'm not sure what the center pin doesn't and how they correlate to the header pin that connects it to the main board.

I'm going to check all the solder connections tonight when I get home. Do you know how I can measure continuity of the center pin with a multimeter?

Once I fixed the polarity on the DC power I get sound. I am now trying to debug why the rotary switch isn't working.

I went back to double check. I set both Oct 1 and Oct 2 to full (CW) and still no change with the rotary. Is there a way I can test the rotary with a multimeter to see if its a solder joint, or a bad unit?

Yes, fixed that, thanks. That got the LED working, got rid of the popping and got me sound. Sounds very scratchy and the rotary switch doesn't change anything. What should I check next?

To clarify when engaged the rhythmic popping continues but the sound from the guitar is cut.

So I just finished the Flock, and in bypass and get a rhythmic popping sound, and when engaged the LED ring does not light up (Is the LED ring the problem?) and I get no sound at all. How should I go about debugging this? TIA

Okay, thanks. You built a Deflector with those?

I just ordered the Deflector Reverb (my first FV-1 project), and I'm planning my parts ordering. The one snag I found is the 1uf MLCCs. I saw in another thread that you want MLCC because box film won't fit, but I can't find C0G/NP0 1uf MLCC's. I'm not great at reading schematics but to me it...

Awesome, thanks!

Okay, then which slot should I set the limiter in?

Awesome I missed the special washer with the notch in the bag. Thanks.

I just got the remaining parts for my flock build, and I'm ready to do the final assembly. I got the recommended 12 way rotary switch from Tayda, I and I think I recall that you are supposed to limit it down to 9 positions. Can anyone give me guidance on how to do that?
