    Transistors from Aliexpress - trustable?

    184s come in three variants as far as I know, -GR, -BL and -Y There's a difference in IDSS between them. From the datasheet(RTFDS): IDSS classification Y: 1.2~3.0 mA, GR: 2.6~6.5 mA, BL: 6.0~14.0 mA If you want authentic 184s, probably not going to get them on Ali. They were only made by...

    Which trim pot for RangeFinder?

    Are you confused about the typo? The first "Potentiometers" should be "Transistors"

    Cepheid Chorus Easter Build

    Yeah. Leads work but they're not very solid if you need to support the board. They're cheap at tayda, or mouser carries them up to 70mm iirc. Makes cramped builds a lot easier.

    Cepheid Chorus Easter Build

    Good build. In future 2 knob builds, ir you use header pins and a 3pdt daughterboard, the PCB will be super stable. This does require accurate drilling and compensating for the overlap of the PCBs. I've also bent long pins into U shapes with success. Just tighten everything down then bend and...

    SOLVED Paragon left side must be engaged to pass signal

    Also maybe, as that looks to be bare wire

    Just plug a 57 into it and play Strokes covers.

    Oh no, the pixies are falling out! I'm not taking the time to fix that. I mean, most of Robert's schems are sideways anyway.

    BBW Build

    Maybe there's some DC on the fx loop out? Does seem odd.

    BBW Build

    Tap around the pcb with it engaged with something nonconductive (chopstick test). Particularly the caps. May have a microphonic component. Don't forget the led. I think @jimilee had a tayda led cause pop years ago on the mbp forum iirc. Switch shouldn't be causing a large pop unless there's DC...

    Probably worth verifying the switch isn't damaged. From there, you may need to cobble together an audio probe.

    You can't check most resistors in circuit with a DMM. You have to check the color bands. This is because typically there are parallel paths/nodes with other components. Easiest way/fewest I could think of the quickly check power...

    Ok. You're not shorting and power, at a glance, looks good. If you have put together an audio probe, you should check inputs and outputs of the opamps. This is a quick way to narrow in on what part of the circuit you're losing signal at. If you don't have an audio probe, I'd check the values of...

    A led shorted to the enclosure could cause issues Measure DC voltage at these pins with the pedal powered and post results(black probe to ground, red to each pin)
