My very first wah pedal! Still setting up and fine tuning the dip-switches but it's all put together. It sounds awesome but I've never played with a wah before so I have nothing to compare it to ?. This was a raw Smallbear Expression Pedal Kit that I painted with Rust-Oleum Hammered rattle can...

Super cool Barry! You are a machine!

That looks so efficient! Like everything is at arm's reach. Needs a beer holder though. Or maybe mannequin leg lighting.

Wow! Great playing!

Similar to a Dawner Prince Boonar, if memory serves...which in turn is inspired by the Binson Echorec. Looks awesome btw. Congrats!

Wow, that's cool. Thanks!

And make sure it doesn't doesn't contact the solder pads when it's time to add pots to the board. Those deeper pots are bare metal, not shielded with a plastic cap, and the metal will sit flush to the side you solder which will cause issues. Check out figures 18 to 22 from the pinned post in...

That's so simple it might work. Pulling all but three wires out of some shielded cable (or whatever), connecting em up, then running the shield to ground points at each end. I just left home base and am on the road. Won't be back for a week, but that sounds promising

Yeah man. I miss living there, it was a great experience. So if I ever have troubleshooting again, like if my IC chips are good, I can say "gony geez a chip mate" and you'll know what's up.

Super clever and crafty!

Thanks, but I have way too many already. :pWhere are yours sourced from by the way?

Thanks man! I really want to build that General Tso but was apprehensive because of my previous unsuccessful attempt at the Guardian OD which also had no schematic and the problems weren't diagnosable in troubleshooting. But I'm game after seeing yours and others working! Very cool.

Dang man! You must be so pumped! Looks super nice! Congrats!

Holy smokes! Everything about that is perfect...the wiring, the cleanliness, the photos, the photoshop skills. Nice job! What do you use for lighting your photos? That can't be a cell phone camera!

Hey, at least we learned something! And once I finish drilling and labeling a new enclosure I can add it to the mod thread with a note to not try both mods. Haha.

Took the gain pot mod out of both and soldered the 100k trimpot back onto the PCB. both work fine now. Even with the momentary mod. Well, that was a fun adventure. Sorry for all the troubles.

It all comes back when in the enclosure. Both boards, both with the same problem. I will probably just revert them back to unmodded so it's not a complete loss except for the predrilled enclosure. Pretty sure they will both work fine once I take off the external gain pot mod as that's the area...

I've tried 2 chips. I have a few more. I'll give it a whirl. Ok so, upon further testing I was wrong. The feedback knob seems to work normally as far as repeats are concerned. Now I'm not sure if the one repeat thing was happening before! I swear it was though. Actually, the volume...

I managed to dial the feedback knob to get more than one repeat, but it's like a hairs width turn away from self oscillation.

Ok, so I didn't try it inside the enclosure but I'm pretty certain it is the same problem as before because I get the same squealing radio interference upon touching the gain pot. Good news is that rearranged momentary mod works though.
