So would I be correct in assuming that does not mean a great deal for a pedal?

Hey all, so I am looking at a couple of different projects that require inductors. Now, some call for the L013 and some M013. I’ve had a look at the data sheet and I really don’t see any difference except he the size and price. Is anyone able to tell me what I am missing ?

It works very well, so much so I have popped one into my strat with a toggle switch to bypass it. Cheaper and imo an easier way of doing it compared to the fender version !

After much need help for the mod and a very quick arrival from the USA to UK it’s complete. I think I was a little nuts squeezing it into a 1590b but it’s in there. Only thing iv had to do is file a bit of the back plate down to fit on. This was because of my poor choosing of position for the...

Hey man, I’ve built probably 50+ of these - no pop, albeit not on Robert’s boards !

Can’t wait for the board to come, so knocked up a layout. I am going to attempt to put this is a 1590b, am I cutting it thin here ? Between the stomp and board is the best place I could figure for 3pdt toggle to do the Gilmour think. I am going to mount it on them little square alpha pots and...

A while ago @Chuck D. Bones provided a schematic of how to implement a switch and volume to the station wah for the Gilmour Seagull mod. Here is the thing, my dyslexic brain can’t get around schematics and I can’t visualize how to ‘actually’ implement it. Could anyone draw up a little diagram...

Hey man, all checked out fine. Something was bugging me about the J201s so I popped them off, soldered some new ones onto adapter boards and stuck them in. Bingo, problem solved. Lesson learnt - SMD sucks, always solder on to adapter boards which can then be tested and easily replaced.

Yes, i am getting readings on the through holes.

Hey there, no but it’s been soldered with a stand off between it and the pcb. When testing I made sure there was a clear gap.

Hey all, I’ve built a few of these but I I have bumped into some issues with this one. There is normally plenty of dirt to be had. Basically the volume and gain is quite low. I have had a look at the other threads and tried replacing the 2N7000, same issue. I’ve worked through with an audio...

Cheers dude, or buy a shed load, match and sell ! I could offset the dca75 by selling my 55

Hey all, I am looking for a matched quad set of JFETs. Does anyone have an idea of a uk supplier - I am struggling. I know I can get them from AION for around $9 but the shipping is like $18. I was considering buying 100 from banzai and a dca75 but that’s a lot of money.

Tried a few !!! Nothing

@jwin615 Hey dude, gave it a good probing. It actually starts to get a little glitchy at Q1 collector - I’ve tried socketing r5 and tried a bunch of resistors to no avail ! Things just get progressively worse really. I’ve also whipped out C1 and C5 - nothing. Might have to admit defeat !!!

@jwin615 any further thoughts brother ?

Thanks for this dude - C11 is orientated correctly but I have just swapped it out regardless - no better. Voltages are: Q1 E 2.08v, B 2.76, C 4.2 Q2 E 3v, B 3.7, C 3 When turn the trim it goes between 3.7 and 2.2

Hey there, checked orientation a gazzilion times. Which would be the primary smoothing cap 🤔 I am also guessing that the bias resistors are R3 R4 R7 R8 ?

I’ve literally checked every resistor 3 times and they are all as per the BOM. The voltages across the transistors ‘seem’ ok to my amateur eyes. It’s really perplexing.

Hey man, tried a few !!! 5088 in Q1 and 2N2222a in Q2. Also tried BC549c in Q2 (correct orientation) these are probably the 7th I have built of these and I have always used the 5088 and 2n2222a combo. It’s confusing me that if I reverse Q2 ie pi the emitter where collector should go, it works -...
