Great looking build. The new Marshall JCM800 pedal, PPCB Eight Ball, is the only other pedal I’ve see. Use these IC’s.
I have the actual MXR version of this pedal and it can rock! Crazy you can find them used for $50 sometimes. There’s a lot going on in there.
Finally found the time to box this one up as it’s been on the auditorium for quite a while. It may look very familiar to some of you. That’s because it’s the same housing I used for the Silver Bee that decided to quit working after I boxed it up. Still trying to figure that out but I’m not good...
So it’s pinout is Drain, Gate, Source? Am I understanding this correctly? If so then a 2n5457 with Drain, Source, Gate isn’t pin compatible.
What’s so confusing is I’ve found 3 different pin outs for this. I’m so confused.
I can’t tell if the pinout of the smd 2sk309-G matches a TO-92 2n5457 or not there seems to be conflicting information everywhere I look. Maybe I need to reverse the 2n5457?
I never really cared for the Honey Bee. I tried to like it but just wasn’t for me. I’d like to try more of his designs. I have the Splendiferous drive but haven’t gotten to it yet. Also have the Fuchsia Fuzz but need to find the proper germanium transistor for it.
I only replaced that output jack and reflowed a couple joints on the switch daughterboard and its adjacent holes. That does look a little suspect. I’ll resolder it and see if that helps. Thanks!
Do you see something? I just got back from vacation the other day. Haven’t removed it from the enclosure yet but I did get a magnifier and looked for anything @MattG mentioned but didn’t see anything. I’ll remove it from the enclosure tonight. Whatever it is has to be prior to populating the...
Interesting ground scheme I wish I could see it a little better. This board looks exactly like the Super Stevie I’m working on minus two diodes. How do they compare?
