I did a baritone strat conversion a while back. Ebony board, tilt back headstock, no fretboard inlays. I used an SX body and it fit great. I wired it up with two outputs - the neck and bridge pickup went to one, and the middle pickup, which was a hot rails, went to the other. I ran it thru both...

I just make sure the jacks, pots, knobs, switches, and back plate are tight, everything inside is secure and won't move, and the pedal works correctly. And then make sure I present myself as open, positive, transparent, and proactive. I agree with prickly, I'd make a warranty / repair policy...

Love it! The Photon Vibe is the best sounding one on here. Same LFO as the original uni vibe, but more oomph. And the EQ controls are nice too. The Abyss is ok but the LFO is more of a square wave, and the rate control needs modification to prevent from stalling the LFO at full CCW or CW. Vibe...

Use an online LED resistor value calculator

Hi all, I'm building a Symbolic overdrive, which calls for a TLC2272. I checked it out and it's similar to a TL072, but allows for rail to rail operation. If I were to use the TL072 in its place, I gather the pedal would distort more easily. Is that so? And, would that be advantageous? I don't...

This is a big clue. Make an audio probe and use it to figure out at what point the signal drops out. You likely have a short or an empty solder pad somewhere.

if the power to your circuit is wonky you'll end up with no sound with the effect engaged. Touch up the soldering on your hook up wires so you can make sure the board is getting power, then check the IC's again

You probably have some DC leaking into the audio signal somewhere. Check your elec caps ane make sure they are orientated the right way. Also check your footswitch wiring and make sure, for example, the SW pad isn't inadvertently passing signal to the IN or OUT Also, make sure your coupling...

breadboarding is the easiest way to find out if your thing works or not, and playing around with different components is the easiest way to learn what affects the sound

Damn that is a clean board

Nice artwork! I love the chili peppers

That wouldn't be a factor in why the pedal died. It's likely something moved around inside while pulling the pedal off the board, which landed on a trace somewhere, and when power was applied voltage was introduced to the short

Literally why they're called die-odes

I know that the coupling capacitor filters out any DC that may be present in the signal from the op amp, but what does the resistor do?

I see. The switch only disconnects the output when bypassed, leaving the input to load the pickups. Do you leave the input buffer in when changing to true bypass?

Excellent artwork! This morning I had a different kind of cream dream.

My switch is a dpdt, but it's weird because it's wired like a spdt. Each wire is extended to its neighboring pole. Idk why they would do that Can you explain more about the hardwired bypass, and the parallel path leading to decreased impedance? I have some BC109b's I can use, and I'll try...

I just picked up a used cry baby with a 2007 red PCB. It's in good shape and original. It has a red fasel inductor and MPSA18's. What should I try with it? I'm thinking an LED indicator and at least one external knob to adjust... something. Maybe overall range? Or Q? I'm playing around with...

102 or 103 don't have to be 4k7. They set the brightness of each LED. If you're using a blue LED you'd want to go a higher value resistor here, like 6k8. It's really not that crucial though. The only important thing about LED resistors is it can't be lower than like 390 ohms in this circuit at...

I'll take you up on that after all. I don't want to give up on it! :coffee:
