It means the bypass part of the switch works. Until you verify sound in and out of the PCB the switch could be at fault. You have to rule things out one at a time. You could do resistance checks with no power and switch in effect position. Try to check resistance from the PCB to the...

Yes alcohol and a toothbrush, just not your wife's toothbrush! She might get mad. It may take some time. If it seems like your just spreading the rosin around, try gently wiping with an old t-shirt or thick sock inside out, that's damp with alcohol. The rosin can sometimes cause shorts between...

@Chuck D. Bones I would like to say Thank You! The knowledge you have been sharing has been invaluable! Especially on the JFET's! Your explanations are easy to understand and quite pertinent to what we are using them for and what we are trying to accomplish with them. Nothing is requiring you to...

Lets start with the basics, 1. All your wires are too long. These need to be shortened, they will act as antenna when the circuit is working. 2. Look up "Tinning Leads" or "Tinning Wire". Prior to soldering wire, the stripped leads need to be tinned. This helps the solder flow better when...

Cool just wanted to make sure. I've had a high gain pedal warble before and the problem was a feedback capacitor.

Double check the value of C12, I see a 4 on top of it, can't read the value though. It should be a 2u2. Not sure what the 4 is for.

Must be Nice! ????

I have gotten the snide comments from the spousal unit about the number of pedals I've built also! "OH, your guitar playing has gotten better, it must be all those Fancy Pedals you've built" says the wife in a bitchy tone. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

The only mod you would have to do is moving the 30pF comp cap. On the LM308 it goes from pins 1 to 8. On the NE5534 it looks like it goes from 5 to 8. It looks like the NE5534 can get a faster slew rate than the LM308. You just have to lower the cap value from 30pF down to 0. At 0 it says its...

That's really sharp, Well Done!

Yep. it puts the 4.7u cap in parallel with the 22nF cap. This gives you 4.92uF so it will allow more bass into circuit. Down is the 4.7u and 22n, up is just 22n

What type of switch does it call, for, On\On or On\Off\On?

I’m not the person to ask about that. My house is over 100 years old, and the “grid I’m on is a the same age! Noise is something I’m used to. I try to use quality caps and also add a 100nF cap to the power stage. When ever I go jam somewhere with decent power I am surprised at how quiet the...

BYOC is legit!!

The distortion of the 308N is why people like it. There is something about it, but you can’t really explain it. I side by sided one with a 308 and one with a OP07 and there was definitely a difference.

You are one of the few who like the TL071 over the OP07. That’s the great thing about building your own pedals though, you can tweak and modify them for your taste not the generic sound of a pre-manufactured pedal. Me personally, I like my sound like I like my women, with a full round bottom!?

Guilty of this also. Might even have the same batting average! ? I normally test the circuit before boxing it. Power it up and....NOTHING! W T F! OH I’m a big fat stupid dumb! No IC, No sound!

EVERYONE has done this! :p

Looks Good!

Been there done that, and not just my first build :ROFLMAO:
