    SOLVED Me again...........Tayda EA Tremolo PCB not working

    That would be great! I have some value left on my gift card, so I’d be happy to pay for them. Tks!

    SOLVED Me again...........Tayda EA Tremolo PCB not working

    Yeah, that’s why I got them from Stompbox. Re the 5088, I understand it’s an “all purpose” transistor. Do you think it can be replaced with a J201? (and Chuck, I did order a transistor tester…..but it’s on a slow boat from China…..)

    👍. Just out of curiosity, why does Tayda write this: Q1 2N5457 2N5457 JFET N-CHANNEL TRANSISTOR Q2 2N3904 2N3904 NPN GENERAL PURPOSE TRANSISTOR Q3 2N5457 2N5457 JFET N-CHANNEL TRANSISTOR Q4 2N5088 2N5088 GERENAL PURPOSE TRANSISTOR (SMD Q1 and Q3: SMD SOT-23 2N5457...

    SOLVED Me again...........Tayda EA Tremolo PCB not working

    Well, Cobalt Drive remains a mystery to me. When I replaced the transistor we were focused on, I still didn’t have success. But when I replaced the IC, suddenly everything worked. But you were skeptical it was the IC, thus the mystery - to me at least. I will recheck my readings tomorrow and...

    Here you go. Power isn’t soldered in but I’m getting 9v to the PCB.

    Stompbox parts (not Amazon this time……) And yes, they are oriented correctly. You can check that out in the close up pics, but if somehow I misread that, let me know! Tks!

    SOLVED Me again...........Tayda EA Tremolo PCB not working

    Hoping I don't set another record with this one, but I've just finished building an EA Tremolo from a PCB from Tayda. The Tayda forum is useless. No answers, no activity. So, I hope the patient and helpful folks on this forum who got me eventually across the Cobalt Drive finish line (which by...

    SOLVED Cobalt Drive problems…..SOLVED……..FINALLY!

    Almost done with a tremolo pedal, then distortion and delay………I hope I won’t be asking for help……….🤞

    SOLVED Cobalt Drive problems…..SOLVED……..FINALLY!

    Ah, didn’t realize I needed to do that…….although the solution remains a tad mysterious…..😛 Do I just post SOLVED, or is there some box to click on? Can’t seem to find one……….

    SOLVED Cobalt Drive problems…..SOLVED……..FINALLY!

    Well, as the old guy in Monty Python and the Holy Grail said , "I'm not dead yet! I feel haaaapppy!" It works now. If that's all you need to know, don't read on. If you want to know how it happened, here goes: I received the replacement Q5 transistor, put it in and it's voltage readings...
