I imagine it will be too difficult to tell the issue from photos, unless it is glaring. Also, the little black board is an output booster that I added after the fact, hoping it would help. It brought the volume up, but didn’t solve anything as the gain pot was still not doing hardly anything.

I need to buy a DCA Pro to test JFETs. Just haven’t done it yet.

I actually agree with this. I’ve started buying from mouser. These particular ones I purchased as a noob years ago. I will say though, when I put the Rat JFETs in, which are from mouser, the results were the same. So, I think I’ve got something wrong with my circuit build.

I’ll try to remember to do that tonight.

I’m not sure but I think Amazon.

Yes. Both maxed. I tried biasing both to 4.5v. I’m not used to JFETs and I think maybe that is my issue. I tried different JFETs and the result is the same. I tried the rat ones, and various 2SK30s. I tried reflowing the solder on everything. The post above says the legs don’t need to be...

Another question I have is around the JFET legs. Is the 1, 3, 2 meaning the leg number? (See photo) I think it does and I have the legs of the JFETs like this, where leg 2 and 3 are swapped. (See photo)

Just a follow up. I put a booster circuit in front of it, which has a single transistor boost to bring the overall volume up. What I’m noticing now is that the gain control never did work properly. When the gain is all the way down I hear nothing (which is as it should be). However, when I turn...

I am attempting to build a Blue Yonder from the schematic. For Q1 and Q2, I’m using 2SK30A JFETs. I’ve noticed it is working, but quieter when the pedal is engaged in comparison to it being bypassed. Is there a resistor value I can swap to affect output volume? Also, leg 1 of these trim pots go...

Thanks! This gives me some good ideas to try.

Yes, the octave effect is more noticeable up there.

Q2: 4.0V Q3: 4.3V But… Q1 base is only showing 1.2V

Hi, I built this fuzz circuit tonight and am wondering how to change the bias on it. It just isn’t quite fuzzy enough, sounds a bit choked and Velcroy, spitty. Here is the schematic. For Q1 & Q2 I’ve got hFE values of 354. For Q3 I’ve got an hFE value of 320. Also, I had to sub the 500k...

Anyone want to recommend a PedalPCB board that would work best as an EQ for upright bass?

Ok, thank you.

Examples:

For the optical part of the GeneralTSO, it says to use a 5mm Green LED. Does it matter if the LED is clear when it is off? I have both the green tinted ones and the clear bright ones. The tinted ones are diffused and the clear ones are not diffused. Both are green when lit.

I didn’t have a lug version of the potentiometer I needed. So, I removed the legs from a PCB mount version of the values I needed. (See photos.) When I soldered wire to it I either destroyed the pot or couldn’t get a good connection. Is there a good way to solder to a pot where the legs have...

Thank you. The reason I was asking is because I’m building one and wanted to keep the 3 controls inside as trim pots to simplify the external UI but wasn’t sure that would work. This helps.

Does changing modes reset the controls positions on Spatialist? In other words, if I have the control 1, 2, & 3 where I like them and then switch modes, then switch back, do the values get reset where I’ll need to move them around to the settings back? … What if I unplug power and plug it back...
