    XC Phase (Phase 90) Issues

    Yeah, not the case here. I'm running the pedal directly into a solid state Marshall amp!

    XC Phase (Phase 90) Issues

    I looked at the board today. I reviewed the solder joints and found a couple not to my liking, so took care of them and reflowed the entire board. I really don't like that trimmer, soo going to wait until I get the new Bourns-type from Tayda, then see if any change. If not, I'll try changing...

    XC Phase (Phase 90) Issues

    Aww...Mammoth. Miss them. Great company and used to use them all the time. Shame they went under. Well, I see you used Tantalum up on top and a Bourns trimmer! I dont see much of a difference in the True Bypass or grounds. I'll check on "popping" when I turn the switches when I get a...

    XC Phase (Phase 90) Issues

    Thanks guys. I'm reading and listening. Doesn't sound like it should be popping! So, I'll have to dig in. I don't want any issues with any of my builds, so use all virgin NEW components, previously Mouser, I now use Tayda exclusively unless I have a hard time getting a part and have to go...

    XC Phase (Phase 90) Issues

    Here is a pic of the PedalPCB XD Phase build as well as link to the video comparing the original MXR pedal to the PedalPCB. Sounds amazing and there is pop in the MXR. PedalPCB unit is popping thru the speaker when active, no pop when disengaging. Video - MXR Phase 90 to Pedal PCB Comparison

    XC Phase (Phase 90) Issues

    How is it not True Bypass when it was originally hooked up, again, like the SPDT bypass I posted above with pictures showing the footswitch and the 3 wires going to it, just like the "Simple SPDT" illustration, no relay or transistor switch, etc.?!?? I have FIVE Phasers on the bench as I said...

    XC Phase (Phase 90) Issues

    Thanks for the link! Only problem is...it appears the original MXR CSP026 '74 Vintage Phase 90 seems to be a true bypass of a sort and doesn't "Pop"!! I'm attaching the original schematic from ElectroSmash. It doesn't show the switching, but shows the different section of the pedal and I do...

    XC Phase (Phase 90) Issues

    So you're using the Atlas DCA75 - Atlas DCA75 Meter Yeah, I have 3 or 4 of the Atlas meters and love them. I don't have the DCA75. It looks like there is an "Improved JFET Matcher" which measures Vp Idss and Vgs out there originally from RG Keen - Greatly Improved JFET Matcher This will help...

    XC Phase (Phase 90) Issues

    I just finalized an XC Phase pedal. I have one question and one issue. The thing is functioning appropriately and engaging/disengaging. The issue I have is that there is a loud audible "POP" when engaged (not when disengaging)! I have an actual MXR CSP026 74 Vintage MXR Phase 90 I purchased...

    Cepheid chorus noisy LFO

    Haven't used my pedal since I build it as tied up with other thing, but circled back around and yeah, noticed it "ticks"! I notice it when DISengaged rather than engaged!! I'll see if moving the wires does anything, but know I my wires are routed to the outside away from the board, so...

    TS9 & 808 Danae Mods

    Looks like low-B has a frequency of 61.7Hz, so need to ensure frequency down to at least that (or lower). What is the current design tuned to and how to calculate that??

    TS9 & 808 Danae Mods

    Ok, so played it thru Bass over the weekend and with some other area Bass Players to demo. The Danae pedal is killer! Sounded EXCELLENT on Bass for those interested in the feedback from me and people. One question or ask is that the frequency response be extended down to the low-B for the...

    Q: Engineers Thumb Issue

    I know sounds like a stupid question, but has anyone confirmed the Engineers Thumb build?? I built one up. Seems to work and all controls, but active LED is either ON....or ON brighter/darker!! Just so I know when on or off, just disconnected the 2 wires from the board, and wired hot directly to...

    Engineers Thumb/LGSM

    Marshall 2203KK - Boost / Noise Gate

    I read in another forum that the Marshall 2203KK head is just a KT88 JCM800, but in Beast mode, has the input go into a Boost and then Noise Gate (Zuul), then into the JCM800! Attached is the schemo and initial PCB someone made up, but seemed large in size. As the folks here at PedalPCB have...

    Supposed to be coming in tomorrow! Look forward to building it up either way.

    TS9 & 808 Danae Mods

    So, you built this one for Bass Guitar and sounded good as-is?? Yeah, I'm apprehensive on building anything like OD for Bass without first confirming. A lot of pedals are designed for Guitar, which has a different audio scale, so playing the lower octave's could flub out and sound muddy, for...

    TS9 & 808 Danae Mods

    I like the concept and that the Danae Overdrive (Ibanez TSV808 Vemuram Overdrive) has the clipping on switches to turn on or off and Saturation knob. My question is...can this be used for BASS? If not, what would need to be changed to be more applicable to Bass Guitar than Electric Guitar...

    Mean Green Metal Machine led's?

    I wish some gut shot of the actual pedal(s) show up. So, is the 4558 single or a stacked chip setup?? I guess could just try it and see the difference, but would like to know stock how Mike did it. Funny, I was thinking "Mean Green Machine" was for the TS-9. The PedalPCB page actually shows...
