I don't breadboard enough things, so this seemed like a nice easy one to throw together. I'm sitting on an assortment of JFETs and GE transistors so this gave me a chance to try a few different ones out. I REALLY like the way this sounds. I settled on using a 2SK30A-D w/ a Vp of -1.4V and an...

You don't. The daughter boards are not compatible with the octave switch. The build doc shows you how to write that one up properly.

If you just snipped the pins off as close to the board as possible do you think you'd have enough left to resolder from other side? I used a leaf style socket for mine and had to cut the pins down a bit on purpose. See: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/spirit-box-w-mods.6537/ It'll be far...

Alrighty, so I got myself one of those cheap digital scopes and figured it was time to dig this one back up again. Using a scope is entirely new to me, so if I'm making a rookie mistake somewhere feel free to post a meme about it. Here's a short video with the scope attached to the output...

Do you hear ticking when the oscillator knob is turned up and everything is quiet? A while back there was someone else complaining about the same thing: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/mini-heterodyne-receiver.462/post-2722 I've been reading Chuck's posts related to LFOs and...

I was just putting one of these together it was really close, but I was able to get the nuts to just catch on the rotary switches and tighten up enough to be good. I bought the rotary switches from pedalpcb and the toggles were from Tayda and Smallbear. Everything was mounted flush to the...

I picked up some MP38As recently as well. https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/my-ebay-ge-transistor-experience.9354/ Robert

Any easy thing to try while you still have that on a breadboard is to swap out the input section with the ROG Fetzer Valve. http://www.runoffgroove.com/fetzervalve.html You then end to with the Fetzer-Ruby, which you can Google plenty of examples of. The Noisy Cricket is another easy amp to...

I don't want to derail this into a thread about beer, because I can talk about Lambic/Gueuze and beer in general like Chuck D. Bones talks about pedals 😜 I've made several trips to Belgium and always go with two suitcases inside each other and then I fill them both with 50lbs of beer and bring...

Yup, in the US and no problems. Tracking was a black hole for a few weeks, but once it was received in the US it was cleared right away. Now if you want to talk about what can happen with US customs when shipping beer from Belgiam that's a different story. Pro-tip us DHL.

This isn't necessarily an endorsement, just sharing my experience. I picked up a some MP38A and P28 transistors from this ebay seller: https://www.ebay.com/usr/alexer1 https://www.ebay.com/itm/192849585657 https://www.ebay.com/itm/202649761724 I grabbed 20 of each (The listing quantities...

I used this on my first few pedals. Several coats certainly makes a nice durable finish, but I hated dealing with drips and brush strokes. They all look fine, but if I look at them closely it tickles my anal retentiveness.

I think the next plan is to start checking around the coupling caps before and after the problem starts to see if I can find suspect DC leakage. But I also might just be throwing out random words that I've read without really knowing what I'm doing.

Maybe this is a good excuse for me to pickup a scope of some kind. I'll tell my wife that you said I needed one :) This is an interesting thought, but I'm not sure if that fits the symptoms. The stuttering tone continue even after guitar is silent. I was also able to accidentally create the...

Thanks for the response. Resistor values are good. I double checked them all back when I first built it because of a different problem. At this point I suppose there is a practical solution to the problem (just rollback a knob or two a tiny bit), but for learning purposes I'm interested in...

Thanks for giving it a look. I hit all the pots again and even gave them a little extra from the bottom side. I'm still of the impression that it has something to do with how DC is introduced into the signal path, but I don't know enough to know how the level from my guitar could play into...

So revisiting my own question. A couple updates. I've attached a new result of using an audio probe. Not sure what changed or if I was just doing something stupid before, but it seems like I've found the spot where the last bit of clean signal is (once I trigger the problem). My prior...

I'm doing my best to avoid all the meme worthy troubleshooting behaviors with this one :) In my SeaMonk Build Report thread I noted an minor issue that I wasn't quite sure about. I decide to revisit it to see if I could resolve it or at least understand why it's happening. Here's the scenario...

Did you check those diodes with a tester or DMM to make sure they are oriented correctly? I have some D9Ks that look that and the cathode end is not the side with the red stripe. There's a good chance all of those are backwards.

This was my first time doing an AionFX board (Quadratron and Spectron are on deck). I have mixed feelings about the board itself, but that's probably just because I've become accustomed to PedalPCB layouts. It seems like the holes on the Aion board are smaller and I had a harder time getting...
