you ever have one of those days where you read the solutions on here, look at your pedal and then smack yourself upside the head? Yeah, its just been that kind of build for me. Thanks everyone for fixing my stupidity!

Just getting squeal no guitar sound. Will have to check the switch when I get back later on, but don't think it is contacting

I am building a rev 2 wrectifier for my kid for Christmas. Got it all hooked up and got nothing but squealing. Squealing would go away if mids turned all the way up. No guitar sound. Did some tweaking and searching now it sounds like I have a grounding issue as well. Extra sets of eyes...

I am getting ready to start a paragon in the next couple of weeks. Has anyone actually done any analysis of the 1s1588 vs the 1n914? Just curious if there is actually much of a difference between the two or if it is more of a psychosomatic kinda thing? the 1588s blow my pedal budget up a...

Thanks for the help! I think the problem is the MN3101 clock generator. Got one on order and will see how it goes

I have an old Crate GX130C combo that is a decent amp as a pedal platform, if you can keep the volume under control. It has a nice chorus built in but it recently went out. I'm looking for some help as to where to get started troubleshooting. I've attached the schematic. The chorus section...

Looks like the W20K was inadvertently touching the IC pins when it was in the case. Added a bit of plastic coating to the pins and all is good now. I unwound the input/output wires as suggested and sanded down the interior paint. Thank you guys for all the help!

Actually I flagged the input wire so I knew which was which.

Will having the wires twisted like I do cause some sort of signal bleed or interference?

The IC fixed the squelch but now there is no sound when the pedal is engaged. There is sound on bypass though. Can't believe I missed the IC leg! Here are a few shots of the underside of the board. Really appreciate all the help!

I will have to get the other side of the board tomorrow when I have a chance

Just finished putting together an Akronym for a Christmas present. Went to fire it up for a test run and.....nothing but an annoying squelching sound. Volume seems to adjust the level a little bit but gain does nothing to change the sound nor so any of the different modes. Looking for some...

Honestly, it's one of my favorite muffy style fuzz now also. I find it has a bunch of character playing through p-90s

First build in the bag (well first build on a pcb at least). Decided to go for the Kewpie as I had played a mayo pedal a few years back and loved it. Great pedal and a lot of fun to build. Please pay no attention to the backwards wiring on the switch breakout board! As it was my first build...
