My guess is that you might have missed a cut on the strip board or missed a connection to q2. If you have a meter that can do continuity testing (beep), check to see if there is a connection from the leg of the trimpot that isn’t connected to V+ (+9V) to the drain of Q2. No connection would mean...

Downloaded the master VFE file. Guess I going to need the charge pump. I think the document from above will help with this board. Now the Mobius Strip with the weirder parts? YEEHAW!

I'll try the big download and see what I find. I think the guide you posted will help, but my board looks really different than others. I'll get a picture as soon as I can. Mobius Strip matches the build BOM/Board view so far. Thanks everyone for looking. I was wondering if I truly was a crazy...

So, I've scoured the internet and have found the documents from the VFE group buy, but can't seem to find a build guide or set of guidance for the board I have. Mine is a through-hole version of 3.2, and the parts match the BOM. But, I'm not 100% sure: 1) what is necessary to populate (I don't...

Great demo. So soothing and silly. “Let’s add…some magic”

Well that just stinks on ice. Was it easy to install? Yep, as long as you have Java, you’ll usually be okay (what Robert says below). And the key word Robert says is “usually”

Have I used it? Yes. I had some snags getting reliable testing audio set up, but that’s on me Is it hard to install? I think it’s easier now. I had to do a lot of work years back. Did I maximize its use and make great things? Nope, but was it fun? Yep. Can it be frustrating? Yup. But there’s...

My google-fu says the transistors were the original for Phase90s (according to GGG)?

So, melting the tops of your capacitors is cool? If it is, just call me Miles Davis.

Silly delay that I’ll probably never use with a setting that can conjure robot farts? Welp, I’m in.

Yeah, that might be an issue. :) When I pull my ? flanger, is there something specific you’d like me to look for? Voltages? Pictures? Let me know and I can dig more information for you.

So, I’ve been working on trying to make a 1590A based pedalboard that is something I can grab and go that covers almost all bases. Enter the need for a fuzz. This is an EasyFace from Joe Gagan with two Ge transistors rather than Si/Ge. Q1 is an MP35 with about 50-70 he and Q2 is an MP38 with...

I’ll have to check mine, but I think I had to do something with the MN3207 clock chip’s voltage to get it to work correctly. I’ll look at it tomorrow when I have time.

I really think the Purple Platypus is a fun circuit. It does, like you say, get weird. I actually need to grab my DeFx version and fix the octave switch - there’s still bleed through of the octave and I want to make it on/off. 5/5 good pedal and great graphics.

You know, if you don’t trust it, you can always send it my way for safe disposal. Just to make sure. Ya know. For your safety.. mumblemuble

Do you have access to a hair dryer? Use it on the backside of the board and pop the chip out. Otherwise, I’d invest in a hot air gun shown above.

Going to lob an idea out to look at as well: double transistor pinouts and voltages. I had an issue with the EQD Depths LFO stalling and checking/replacing the transistor and I think reflowing the leads to the dual gang potentiometer helped immensely.

Sign me the hell up. Burnt wire, singed caps, and at least one pad where I had to remove and reinstall something a couple times? Im shoe in to bring up the rear.

Gonna have to sell a kidney for parts.

On the plus side, it kinda works. It’s now stuck on. I think I used the wrong power supply (there’s a weird one for a Flamma reverb that provides 9vdc but doesn’t play nice) and that’s why it was not working. Kinda want to get an ultra fuzz and the other lead distortion they make, but they...
