    Obsidius preamp problems

    I guess my last options are, buy the cap I need, another cd4049, and 1n4148's. Swap them in that order and test in between, and if it doesnt work give up.

    Obsidius preamp problems

    Nope, did some quick probe on the ic points ic1-1, ic2-2. ic2-3 since it wasn't working and still weak signal on ic2-3 with drive and volume all the way up, blend to dist , flipped switches so they arent in middle (because louder when up or down instead). no distortion flipping switches still...

    The bags look similiar to the bags in terms of the material that the ic's i got from mouser came in, but dont have the label no. :/

    I think I got those from mammoth electronics, if not then I got them from mouser, and they are the "ube" ones

    Obsidius preamp problems

    Alright I'll try that after work and put the highest reading here for each. But yeah besides that everything should be correct, it's just some of the box caps I can't see the label cuz some of them have it on one of the bigger sides instead of the top, but it's right beside another box cap

    Obsidius preamp problems

    I measured all the resistors. The ones i marked are reading at around half value, and its making me wonder whether they are in parallel or if a capacitor is messing up a reading or something so i figured id check with you first before i swapped them. I double checked by color codes and they are...

    Obsidius preamp problems

    I believe those two caps that have been the wrong ones are the only wrong parts. Checked all the caps, (except theres a couple of the box type that i cant see the label) and they're all good besides of course c8. The green caps are supposed to be nonpolar and have no marks to indicate otherwise...

    Obsidius preamp problems

    I wonder if the cap I used to have beside c8 (that I had to swap with a resistor) was the correct one for c8 :(

    Obsidius preamp problems

    I don't nostra, I ordered specifically what I needed (and a few extra of some components like ic's and some of the caps I get extra) when I was building three pedals. Yeah I'll order some extra when I do. Since mammoth closed I heard about small bear, which is nice cuz the website is better...

    Obsidius preamp problems

    c11 says 472 good call on c8, i had been wondering why that cap was so big anyway and figured i order a weird size one but would still work, turns out i put the wrong one there (checked a lot of the other caps and so far they are correct) so c8 should be saying 221? sadly i cant find a cap that...

    Obsidius preamp problems

    I'm at work right now but I'll check ic3-1 and I'll turn the drive knob like you had mentioned before as well while testing it. In the earlier testing the back of the pot wasn't touching any of the other solder joints and I actually had the pot bent slightly forward because I looked at the...

    Obsidius preamp problems

    I replaced the switches and they should definitely be working properly. The pedal however still isn't. I ran through some of the tests you've had me do before. Currently the issues I'm having in the test (with blend 0 raw, volume noon, drive 0, switches in middle position) Ic 2-3 nothing...

    Obsidius preamp problems

    The solder points of the switch aren't touching the case, but the the outside of the switch is of course. Is that a bad thing?

    Obsidius preamp problems

    messing up again, clean socket and board with ipa working better, i probably just need to replace the switches, next time i order parts ill grab some so its worth the shipping (though i should probably try hardwiring switch point first)

    Obsidius preamp problems

    I went to go test and it's started working again, once it's messing up again I'll post more. In the meantime I'll go ahead and let you know I've really appreciated your help and sorry for putting you through this. Lol

    Obsidius preamp problems

    Pedal is working for some reason atm, all i did was check the switch with the multimeter before doing these tests 1)Drive is making ic3 louder 2) r17 seems to be same volume on both sides 3)Ic2-2 and 2-3 are 2.79 and 2.75 (still running on battery at 8.5 v Imma play through it for a bit Flick...
