Has anyone used THIS place to order from? https://www.transistorsmosfets.com/ And if so......how and what was your experience dealing with them? They got a CRAZY amount of parts but a bit pricey . Just a bit curious

yes thats the one. good stuff to my ears Havent been this excited over a pedal in 20 years. There are some bad ass pedals out there ,a shit load I have not tried, only listened to on Goo Tube which we all know only gives you a marginal approximation but even thru the Goo Tube and my semi OK...

Now this this is my next pedal ........someday........................................................

Building a Timmy and have no dip switches. There are 4 pads on the pcb and from what I've found I could replace the dip switch and use 2 SPST or SPDT in place of the dip switch. I'm unsure , tho , if this would work. So I'm asking the forum if anyone would know this to be true or not. yes I...

Well so far I’ve tried a 386M and a 386D the 386D was slightly better but still farty with no sustain and you gotta hit the string hard to get a sound. The suggested chip being a LM386-4 no telling when I’ll get any but I’ll update when I do (I also swapped the thru hole J201 with a mmbfJ201...

I think you're on to something there with the 386 Down in the comments here https://tagboardeffects.blogspot.com/2012/02/nick-greer-sucker-punch.html Thanks for the headsup

Building Acapulco Gold I tried different chips and your right the ones that worked well for me were the 386D (I’d have chk to be sure which one but at the time I had A few different ones Completely forgot cause one I did pick really stood out but I think it may have to do with the J201 maybe my...

more info? I'll give what I got. I'm at a loss here since I can bias the jfet as why it sounds so shitty.

In such a small circuit I cant understand why I can't bias the only transistor in the circuit. I get it to Bias to 4.6v but I have to have all pots maxed and hit the string pretty hard to get a sound thats farty and dies out in less than a second I've tried both a mmbfj201 and a through hole...

No signal at pin 7 of IC1 No signal at pin 5 of IC1. Signal at pins 1,2,3 & 6 of IC1 Yes I get signal with a mild or somewhat weak filter sweep in non distorted mode and dead silent in Distortion mode

ok so the switch wasnt the problem although the faint whistle is gone. Its dead quiet which it wasn't before. checking envelope side against demos and seems that properly working ones have much more obvious "envelopeing" happening than mine. My first thought is Ive got a wrong value in there...

IMAGE 0792 looks to be a bad solder joint on the switch.

Got some pictures here.

In distortion mode I get signal on lugs 2 & 3 of the sens pot which serves as the volume pot for the fuzz. As I turn the sens pot CW the signal increases on lug 2 of the sens pot. As it should (I assume}. lug 3 sounds so much brighter than 2 (better to my ears). nnno clue now what to do with...

An update. I audio probed the circuit in envelope mode and since I don't know I gotta ask. I did not get any signal on either side of d2/3 No signal on either side of R11 No signal either side of C5. I've got continuity on both sides of the switch ok so I flip the switch to dist/fuzz I have...

Thank you thats the kind of info I need Got a jumping off point now thanks again for sharing.

Thought I had it figured out but. Nope My low baller works in clean mode but not in fizz or distortion mode I checked the toggle switch and it has continuity both ways I guess its time to pull out the audio probe.

I finally got my Lowballer to work one side of the toggle (the clean side) and silence the other side of the toggle. Happy with it so far. Probably start with Captain Obvious's suggestion of the toggle switch . Still another cool PedalPCB build knocked down This seems to be another pedal...

Once again my lack of thoroughly checking into something BEFORE I ask or post has gotten us here. I (we ) can move on now from the openhaus since I found a very nice layout. title says original layout but I am not positive if it is or not doesn't matter to me its a working one

Thanks all for the insight. Unfortunately changing the charge pump to spca only quieted it down so Ill try a scpaz and see how that goes I don't recall where I found the mod might've been here on this site but here's what I have . I believe it was supposed to help with the whine .
