    SOLVED Boneyard circulator massive gain

    Well, so, anyway, and so forth, I checked the components against values and mods, and everything checked out in capacitors and resistors EXCEPT I had put 1m in instead of 2.2m for R2; I had meant to leave R27 at 27k (to see what this oscillation business was about) but subbed to 33k, and R23 was...

    SOLVED Boneyard circulator massive gain

    Thanks, Nostradoomus. I tried searching for over-amplification/distortion on the circulator, but I couldn't find anything. The discussion referenced above is the opposite of my issue. I just don't get why the gain is so out of spec. R6 is 10K, as required. Everything else checks out...

    SOLVED Boneyard circulator massive gain

    Hold the phone... Just double-checked against the screen print values and Chuck's notes, and it looks like C7 above the tl072s is 1uf, not 100nf. [Edit: subbed it, it makes a difference. Reasonable range is now volume 4 on the guitar. Still super gainy and distorted and waaay above unity...

    SOLVED Boneyard circulator massive gain

    So.... Finished this this evening complete with all boneyard mods, and it is phasering and doing what phasers should do, but Besides being a tad dark, It has MASSIVE gain (and no gain/volume knob). Like I have to turn down my guitar volume to 2 for unity. 10 is like quadruple gain with heavy...

    Sanford & Sonny Bluebeard

    I think this begs the question of what schematic/trace you used...just as easy as the GGG schematic with bigger filtering cap, or what. Feral felines among others may be interested in such an information...

    Moonn Space Is Fun (DBA Reverberation Machine)

    I like the Dromtydning a whole lot, more interesting to me than space is fun in all it's dimensions. I didn't think that the space is fun fuzz setting is that interesting at all, and the sound of a Belton brick oscillating I REALLY don't like.

    It's a meme from the adolescence of the internet: But, basically, what Tegendemuur said.

    SOLVED Duo Phase LEDs on full no change

    For the sake of posterity and avoidance of future builder frustrations: Well, I did me a troubleshoot. Finished this duophase after being away and plugged it in with anticipation, but no. First, both LEDs were on, no sound except for strangled braps of distorted signal. Did I want to...

    HYDRA Delay, is it supposed to do that??

    I think it's correct. head 1: dadadadada head 2: da. da. da. da head 3: da.. da.. da.. da.. head 4: da... da... da... head 1&2: dada da dadada da something like that. is the issue that 1&2 sound the same as 3&4 to you? [edit: sorry, had to use periods as the forum engine wouldn't respect my...

    HYDRA Delay, is it supposed to do that??

    What do you mean by phantom pause? Do you mean the rhythmic nature of the delay? I'm pretty sure that's intentional. Mine does it. The heads all do repeats at slightly different speeds, so when you combine them, it creates a rhythm because of gaps and overlaps Kind of like Steve Reich...

    SOLVED quick question pcb mount 9v barrel jacks

    This was it after all. I think when I tried reversing it, I was holding the board in a way to short the chip so it didn't make any sound. Duh! I looked at the traces on the drones board that was working, and sure enough, the positive went to the cathode/band side and the negative to the anode...

    SOLVED quick question pcb mount 9v barrel jacks

    I couldn't access your link, by the way. continuity: square pad does connect to the anode end of the 4001 diode, ground to the cathode/stripe end. Everything current flow seems as it should, but I still get ticking and no signal. It's a good idea to do a voltage probe to see if in fact I'm...

    SOLVED quick question pcb mount 9v barrel jacks

    Built the Moonn "Cyberpunk Touch" and "Drone a Little Drone", but forgot to order pcb mount barrel jacks. So, I just soldered in some wires from a regular 9v enclosure jack to the PCB jack pads, ground to the round pad in front, and hot to the square pad in back. Didn't bother with the switch...

    PCBGuitarMania Lemon Bass

    Maybe not a scam, maybe just incompetence. Check out the facebook video I posted in a discussion. He does seem fairly earnest and remorseful. I don't know what precipitated a crisis in his world, but it seems like there is one. Maybe bad reviews threatening his multi-million cents PCBs...
