That DC jack ground pad looks unsoldered on your last pic... The one with the - sign

I bet Chuck knows them all by heart ^^

By any chance as anyone tried to buy some from this eBay store? https://www.ebay.ca/itm/5pcs-VTL5C3-Xvive-Audio-Opto-Coupler/392257148367 1$ a pop seems too good to be real :/

My sloppy soldering skill won't stop me from trying it out if you ever do a project :D I'll just use a ocean of flux and I should be good xD

T_T 64 pins of smd hell to solder xD !!!

Nice cover story Chuck ^^ As for me I wish I knew more about electronics... T_T I tried to pick a few books for dummy's but with the job, kids , and addiction to building pedals, ain't much time or energy left :/! Having known earlier how fun these electronic thingamajig are I would have maybe...

Sometimes I get the tin foil hat out and start making wild theory's about Chuck... Starting to think he's a undercover owner/designer of a pedal company who just never gave up the diy community xD

Nice one Chuck!

If all that and the troubleshooting forums don't help, you just gotta swear a buttload..., then let your brain obsesse on what could be the source of the problem to a point where even in a conversation with your significant other you just stop listening and start troubleshooting in your head...

I couldn't resist the sale xD I still haven't got my boards from the other one a couple of weeks ago ! Plus I got a OSHpark run of my own prototype comming in.... And I am restarting work next week! Gonna have plenty to keep me busy :D

Tayda used to have them for "cheap" around 3,5$. Dunno if they are gonna restock :/. My guess is ifyou stick a tl072 in it you won't see the difference :p

The way I see it ... Detailed build docs are great but if it comes at the cost of the numbers of new releases I'd rather have the ones we have now :p ! Plus the forum is full of lots o people ready to help! But yeah it was a bit of a shock at first for me too ! I got used to madbeans build doc...

Yeah converting graphics in to vectored ones looks Tricky. I downloaded inkscape and am planning on learning to make them directly in vector... My girlfriend who did a formation in graphic design a long time ago told me " you should to your desings in illustrator it would be a lot simpler!!" But...

I did send them a email and file for a 125b about 3 weeks ago but they still have not replied so my guess is that it's maybe offline for now :/ they haven't done a coupon for the past 2 months also so I am also guessing they migth be overwhelmed if lots of diyer are in isolation that must mean...

Nice xD

Well I am happy to say that other pedals that I have made that uses 12k resistors are ok... They were 12k. So it wasn't a error from tayda xD but from me :/ ... The 270r must have come from a old eBay transistor kit that I bought a long ass time ago .... How they got in the tayda bag I have...

Well found the culprit.... 18 are accounted for Wich means I got 12 other in various projects :/.... It's time to get in some old projects build docs !! Well I know what ii am gonna do all night long ... Checking every resistor bag I got !!! 7 years I have been doing this and I am still...

Thanks so much ! Good catch !... The thing that's scary is that I technically do not own 27r resistors :/ I will have to check my 12k bag ! I took some notes from when I did some mesurements r13 was on it. I gotta check my 2m2 one and the 3 390k ones but I will start by changing r13 tonight !

Hi y'all !! I got a pyrocumulus fuzz that ain't working :( I have checked the resistors and reflowed all the pads numerous times ! Gotta clean the back of the pcb real soon... When everything is turn to full I do hear a fuzz from far away but with no sustain. The bass and treble do change the...

Well I got it out and I did put a 1m pot in the gain, mesured it and it goes from 0 to 1m, checked my resistors r1-17 and they are all fine. I did put some electric tape on the bottom of the holes of the pots, I had one of the mold dot of the enclosure that wasn't properly sanded just where the...
