Would appreciate help with this morning’s attempt- the Aion Andromeda Deluxe (Nordland ODR-C). No signal when engaged except very faint what sounds like the working pedal but barely audible. Passes signal in bypass. LED is lit when pedal engaged. Green 3mm LED diodes in D4 & D5 light when...

Thanks!

Looking at building the Maximum Overdrive new offering. Tough locating a NJM5534D. Can anyone recommend a suitable substitute?

Adding a BC184 to Q1 did the trick! 👍 Marking this solved.

My experiences mirror others here, but I’ll add that Tayda powder coated enclosures are worth the wait IMHO. Best powder coat quality and color selection bar none. The metallic candy colors are really something. I order 10 at a time, and when I get half way through the prior order, I order...

I built one a few months back and I get the same results with mine at full gain, so could be normal for the circuit. I can even get it to do what you did in your video with moving the gain and tone knobs when ringing out chords. I noticed I can temper the squeal by limiting ringing notes or...

Thanks Robert - that’s gotta be it. Small Bear has ‘em. Lesson learned 🙂. Will mark as solved when I get a BC184 in there and can verify as working

Forgot to mention that also attempted reflow of all solder joints and same fizz issue persists

Here’s some shots of the other side of the pcb

Thanks for your post - appreciate it! When running a guitar signal through the pedal direct to an amp, the circuit is only producing a fizz sound that sounds like “shhhh” similar to when between radio stations on a radio dial. There is no guitar signal at all except when the pedal is in bypass...

Thanks Robert. Yep I’m turning the gain knob on the top row right and the loudness of the fizz is variable with the turn of the pot, but the volume pot on the bottom row left has no effect on the loudness of the fizz as previously noted. I thought of one more thing because I noted earlier all...

Having an issue with Sabbath Distortion and would appreciate helpful suggestions. LED lights; signal ok in bypass. Only getting a fizz (shhhhh sound like). All parts as indicated on BOM. The fizz has less volume when gain knob turned down, but volume knob has no effect on loudness of fizz...

Noticed the ground connection eyelets on the PCB aren’t populated - could missing ground connections be your issue?

Order in! Looking forward to the build. Wish you the best with the product launch!

As a lifelong comic book geek, I was inspired to build the Aionfx Cadmus (ZVEX Super Duper) in anticipation of the new Superman movie coming out this summer. Easy project, but then sometimes the more basic circuits sound great from my experience. This pedal fits that mold, and sounds more...

Thanks! 👍

I’m wondering about the small eyelets/holes in the Nucleus. The traces appear connected and serve some function. Should these be used? There are 2 small points under the IC, and before I socket over this area, I want to make sure what to do. Thanks for any help!

With thanks to @Robert, wanted to post a build report for the Maven Overdrive. I wanted a Maestro Ranger OD when these were released a few years ago, but never pulled the trigger on one. From a first glance, I liked the aesthetic on the Maestro reissue pedals, and I tried to carry over that vibe...

Thank you!
