Can't really speak to that 0.68uf cap. But for the momentary switch, you can use just about any momentary switch, even a two-pole SPST switch. The trick though is that the default state needs to be "off". A default "on" switch won't work.

Interesting. It does seem similar. Mine is a much, much slower tick/tap...like a good 2-3 seconds apart. It slowed when I switched out the caps around it. I'm wondering if maybe adding a resistor inline on the leg that powers the chip will help...basically taking down the voltage enough to...

Definitely the 4046. Even without the 4049, you can clearly hear it pumping. Guitar volume has no effect. Happens even if it's just a loop pedal going into it followed by an Orange amp. Gonna get some 4046's with my next order for further testing. That's gotta be the problem. :P

Considering the source the 4046's came from (Tayda) I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it was ESD. I mean, Tayda is ok with most things...but I can't say with any certainty that they're all that great about how they handle ESD sensitive chips. Probably will get another set of 4046's from...

Ok, so here's what I discovered... I pulled the 4049 and didn't hear any taps. I also switched out C1 and C9, which resulted in a significant reduction in the timing between the taps. The taps are audible only on the left side of the 4046 (pins 2, 4, 6, & 7). Only thing I can surmise is that...

Nope. Speed and Intensity has no effect. I'll look into Robert's suggestion on the grounding of unused inputs. Makes sense if it's some internal issue with the 4046. I'll also try Fig's suggestion...or at least investigate...cause you never know. Damn tantalum could very well cause something...

That's a damn good suggestion. :D

Just posted this in the troubleshooting forum. Basically it's an audible tap or click sound every 2 seconds or so. Pretty consistent whenever I'm not playing. Really weird. I probed the board and it seems to be off the CD4046. I'll see if anyone else might know of a good direction to go in for...

Hey folks, just finished a Schadenfreude a few days ago. I think it's working...but I'm getting a weird tap from it whenever it's engaged and I'm not playing. It's at a rhythm of ever 2 seconds and appears to be coming from the CD4046BE. I switched it out and it doesn't seem to fix it. Could it...

@DGWVI Great build! Looks really clean! :) Quick question... I just finished mine and....err...I think it's working. The problem I have is that I'm getting this weird tap from it whenever it's engaged and I'm not playing. Like a tap every 2 secs. Does this happen to you? I think the main...

Nice build, Chuck! :) I built one of these some time ago. It's a good pedal...but really only good for a specific use. It's more of a tone sweetener to me. It's got some boost capabilities and the limiter is...err...somewhat limiting (kind of subtle). Really great circuit and perfect for the...

Hammered pewter would be neat. That and maybe a gold.

That's my thinking too. Black and cream ones look the best. What also looks nice are the classic flying saucer ones with the silver trim.

Thanks for the nod! Happy to be a source of inspiration. I get inspired all the time with folks on here so, yeah, very flattering. :) Definitely have shared in your experience too. Have had a few builds that started out as a source of major frustration but turned into sheer joy after figuring...

These are the ones I typically use. A little pricey but they have silicone sleeves so I can’t really complain. 10pcs Upgraded Tiny Whoop JST-PH... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NWD5NTN?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Yep, roll your own! That's the beauty of that enclosure size. Can fit two boards side-by-side no problem. Being that the blue side is more or less a Blues Breaker circuit, could try something else to compliment the ODR side. Maybe a TS circuit?

HULK POOP!! :P

I think I see a spark plug for a 1982 Toro lawn mower in there. :P

Good job, man! This is a very nice phaser. I built this one along with the BOSS CE-2 and OD-3 they had. Makes for a very nice combo. :D

Ditto here. Mine’s a small order and not at all critical to anything. Just experimenting. But, yeah, seems Michael is MIA at the moment. Might be having some health issues again. 😢
