Power supply, reads a 9.3v I will open 'er up and take a look around C104!

Ok with the pedal plugged in, no signal, I've got: IC1-1: 72mV IC1-4: -6.5V IC1-7: -168mV IC1-8: 7.2V IC2-1: 3.65V IC3-1: 7.2V IC3-4: -2.7V IC3-7: 3.9V IC3-8: 7.2V :unsure:

ICs are from Tayda. The controls all seem to do what they're supposed to

My reflowing attempt didn't change anything, so I'm going to make myself an audio probe this week and see what I can find.

Ain't got that either, but I'll definitely have to pick one up next time I order some pcbs!

Ok thanks. I do not have an audio probe, I should probably make one sometime Thanks! It wasn't touching but it was pretty close

Resistor and cap values all seem to be correct; what would be the next move, taking the board out and reflowing everything?

Oh yes, in circuit

I took readings on all the resistors, found some abnormalities: -R17 and R19 which are supposed to be 220k both read at 133k. Out of spec but maybe ok? -R1, supposed to be 8m2 and has the right striping, reads at almost nothing; .03ohms. Likely the culprit?

Thanks, I guess I'll have to order up a new one

Thanks!

They feel pretty solid

Thanks I meant to post a gut shot, updated it

I recently built a Crunch Captain Deluxe and it sounds good and seems to be working but overall volume is low. With the Mode switch in the middle (classic Crunch Box/high gain) and clipping switch to the right (LED clipping, the lighter clipping option) with Gain at noon I have to nearly max...

The footswitch on my recently finished Simulcast is having an issue: when in bypass it usually passes the signal normally, but sometimes the signal gets weak/scraggly and goes back to normal if I I softly tap it. What would likely be causing the issue? Bad switch, bad wiring? Thanks

I got the tantalums in there this morning; a major reduction in noise/hiss! It's still a little noisy, but "reasonably noisy" and not over the top like it was before. Thanks for all the support guys! The fuzz is sounding fantastic, I wish I could record a sample but currently my only "amp" is...

"Daaaad! She's in my bed again..."

Cool, I ordered up some 2.2uf and 22uf on ebay

I've been looking at tantalum caps to replace the electrolytics as film caps of the appropriate values seem to be huge in size. Would that be a good choice? I haven't used tantalums before, but I understand they are polarized.

Thanks, I'll try that the next time that I open it up! It would go where I drew the red arrow on this schematic, right?
