Some updates on my very old thread: I ended up buying a proper PPCB board, and gutting the old board of EVERYTHING with the help of my trusty Engineer solder sucker (I even managed to recycle 3 out of 4 IC sockets!) I built the PPCB board, the ticking was gone, the sound was great but there was...

Thanks! If I can use your help, I populated a board from PCBGuitarmania (I know, I'm sorry, the kit was cheaper...) and I'm having a hard time figuring out where I should wire the pot This is the board And this is the schematic: Which side of R6 and R3 should I connect? Q2 is a 2n3906 so I...

if I was to add a Null pot to my green ringer build, following the schematic you posted, I'd wire it like this right?: lug 1: r7 middle lug: Q2 emitter lug3: c3 noob question but just getting started into modding some circuits and reading schematics 😬

Maybe you can try here https://dvhx.github.io/what-can-i-build/

I am not an expert myself having only built less than a dozen pedals but I can see several dodgy solder joints in your board. I'd try reflowing the board, maybe look up a couple of soldering tutorials. make sure there are no shorts and look up the several trouble shooting posts about this pedal...

Wired the rate led and ground on the correct lugs and now it's working perfectly 👍🏻 Definitely a recommended mod for those annoyed by the always-on rate led

That ring into the loop

Well I just noticed that I soldered ground and cathode to the wrong pads on the switch 🤦🏻 I haven't had time to fix it yet

So basically how I wired it the first time right? Cathode straight to the middle lug of the 3pdt

I wired the led cathode to the center lug on the 3pdt and left the sw pad on the board empty but I have a loud pop when I turn it on, and the led is flashing a little bit even when turned on. So I moved the wire to the SW pad and added a wire from middle lug to SW pad as well but nothing...

@Mentaltossflycoon i finished building my board and I noticed that the wormhole pot is giving an audible effect only in the last 15% of the rotation, is yours working this way as well? I'm asking because I also have some nasty ticking and whining when the pedal is bypassed so I also have to...

I think I have a good sense of rhythm and a good ear it I absolutely lack in technique and especially theory... Is it too late to start studying something in my late 30s? I have always played by ear but it is starting to feel restricting I just want to learn some basics of theory to understand...

I looooove my Chop Shop, lots of great sounds inside. I love to play with the dynamics. I almost never turn it off I did have to add a 10k resistor on the output as a pulldown resistor because it was popping, and I had to bias it around 6.5v to solve some oscillation

I spent a couple of hours yesterday doing the same thing, salvaged everything from a Guitar mania PCB, even sockets, using my Engineer solder pump

Did you end up getting it? My wife is looking at a xtool D1 I think, so I could actually put some artwork on my pedals 😅

I'll take another look inside Even without powering the circuit? I want to check with my little practice amp and with a buffer upfront Quick question, the diode I added on the 9v is protecting the polarity but on the + instead of the ground right? Yeah looking at the layout and at the schem...

Thanks, it works but... If I leave it plugged in with no power and activate it, for some reason some signal passes through, and it sounds like a very voltage starved distortion... Where is power coming from if it's not connected? Through the guitar cables?

It does go to ground I'm following this Effectslayout schematic: So I could add a 1n914 between +9v and the + of the DC jack?

I was trying to desolder components from my old Speaker Cranker perfboard build and I broke the 1n4001 polarity protection diode in half I only have 1n914s at the moment, can I use one of those? Or can I just jumper it since I will be using it with my power supply?

I just saw the Collector/emitter demo... Dang that's a good sounding muff 🤤
