Go to the build report section and post a build report there!

"Post photos you should, Hmm?" Yoda

Have you triple checked all of your solder joints? Check this image to make sure you only have the ok solder joints. They should kinda look like Hershey kisses. Also, check out this page for how to address the types bad solder joints and what can cause them...

It's most likely that most of it is surface mount parts, so even if you had a schematic, repairs would probably be very difficult. They pack a lot of stuff in those enclosures.

Imagine a world without nails. We'd be screwed.

Here are some photos so ye can appreciate thy craftsmanship of yesteryear.

Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand To beautify the foothills and shake the many hands Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop And an illustrated book about birds...

First, check EVERY solder joint on every component. Look at the image. You want every single joint to look like the "OK" one. Check this link for solutions and causes if you make a bad solder joint, and how to make a good solder joint...

I got [insert pcb name] last week and was wondering if you could post a build doc for [insert pcb name]. If you did I would greatly appreciate it! "Patience Anakin"- Obi Wan Kenobi

For a few weeks now, I have been looking at synths, particularly modular and semi modular. I got to thinking, what if someone made a guitar pedal or rack mount effect that had very useful patch points? Maybe patches like preamp out and in, eq out and in, stuff like that. These patches maybe...

Don't bash Eric Johnson man! He's got better tone than you will ever get! Oh that was a bit over the top. You could call me a big fan of Eric's. By the way, you might not be able to get the right tone without carbon zinc batteries. It gets you the vintage mojo!

I will get some more done tomorrow!

Got some new stuff to add finally! This is a pdf that goes into a ton of detail about anything from power amps to speaker cabinets. If you want to build a solid-state pedal amp to have on your pedalboard, this is a great resource. It has a little over 100 pages on power amps and 100 pages on...

It actually is already there! I think that's where I found it. It was a pretty old post and pretty inaccessible so I thought I should repost it. You can thank Bowanderror for the original post!

Your welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful!

Probably not. It has a ton of algorithms and would have to be in a huge enclosure. I will catch you up to speed. There are 2 types of components mounts. Through hole, and surface mount. Most pcbs on pedalpcb are exclusively through hole, and all are at least 90 percent through hole. Through hole...

https://www.jeanpierrepoulin.com/PDF/transistor.pdf This link will give you all the information you would want on solid-state amplifiers. You may be going, what if I only take tube amps seriously? Well this pdf might still help you. It has about 130 pages dedicated to power amplifiers, and 100...

You got some of those magic transistors used in the magic vintage fuzz faces? I heard that nothing can replicate the tone of a vintage fuzz face. Apparently there are these things called transistors and in the circuit they make the circuit do better things for your tone so in other words they...

Thanks man. I will definitely try to take care of myself and the family. Thanks for the positive vibes. I appreciate it.
