Went through ALL my pieces last night: resistors and caps just to make sure EVERYTHING was the right value. I also added extra solder to a few pieces that I thought might need it. No luck. I'm starting to lose hope on this one and am wondering if I need to start over or just move on. I've...

pin 13 was 3.3. I put 0 down on accident. I edited the original comment. I noticed others had 3.3 on pin 16 as well. I rechecked it but turned on the switches this time. It read at 3.3 as well.

So, I noticed this build up of white crusty stuff along the VH-1. I used some contact cleaner to clean it off. An hour later and this was on there... normal? not normal?

Also the L78L33 Input 9 Ground 0 Output 3.3

no signal at pin 28...

Pins 1 and 2 do have signal. Checking voltages next. Never had to do that so I’m gonna look it up. I do have a good multimeter.

Update... Changed the 1uf cap but still not working. Finally made myself a audio probe. I’m finding the signal drops at the 3rd spot in the FV-1. I don’t know if the issue is with the FV-1 that pedalpcb installed or with the 10u that it grounds to there. I’m changing out the 10u electrolytic and...

I don't think the 1uf caps are the issue in and of themselves because they are only in the signal path. I did recheck them and the legs aren't touching anything they shouldn't. HOWEVER, all this talk about the 1uf caps made me remember I had to pull one of the caps a little hard in order to get...

Here is a pic of the other side...

So, I built a 2 in 1 pedal. It’s a VHS going into a Phase II. I’m getting clean signal though the pedal. The Phase II works perfectly. The VHS, when I engage it it gives me a hiss sound and no bass signal. I notice when I switch on the Chorus or Reverb there is a loud pop. No pop when I switch...

Thanks so much guys! Opened it up and saw the differences it makes. Before I was getting a lot less effect than I wanted. Now I can go from super subtle to deep warbles. Such a great pedal. I’ll keep messing around with it and find an exact spot where I like it.

Can someone explain the function of the two trimpots in the Phase II?

I had the section socketed. I had trouble getting the sockets out and broke them to get them out. After that I noticed it wouldn’t work right. I’m not sure where the problem is exactly but it’s definitely my fault. I don’t mind waiting on a board that doesn’t look so mangled. I don’t have a...

yeah. I figured that out! It almost sounds Tonebendery to me. However, I realized today that’s the only sound coming out of the pedal. I think I applied too much heat and jacked around too much with the diode spots for the 2nd clipping section. So, I’m waiting up on another PCB(waitlist) and am...

If I used D4, would the top go to the switch then the bottom would be going back from the switch?

Here is a picture of the switch I created...

I’m wanting to add a switch for the second clipping section for the diodes on the muff fuzz. I want to be able to switch between LEDs and the regular setting. What would be the correct outgoing and input spots for that? I figured they would be the two top ones. I was planning to use an SPDT.

thanks for your suggestions! I will try them out and post back on here to let everyone know how it goes.

Yeah, I was planning to socket Q and start with the 2n2222a. I'll try whatever else I have with me. It is a tiny circuit so I don't how much that limits my ability to experiment. You think changing C2 would make a difference as well? I'm very new to this and am definitely still learning.
