I soldered input and output directly on the PCB, but the squealing is still there... It only happens when either: SAG is maxed or nearly maxed, and GAIN is past 3, or GAIN is past 3 and SAG is past 12... So the culprit of the squealing is not the switch or his wiring...

It's a 2N2222A, I think I have put it down with the correct pinout as I remember reading on the forum about the different layouts for the two different transistors good idea, I'll try this to see if it solves the squealing, if it does I'll replace the switch Kleins are expensive here I'll...

Did it, no change unfortunately Going to try and swap it when I get the chance My shitty DMM doesn't have a continuity tester but tried it with resistor tester and looks like there is no continuity. I hope to solve the popping with a new 3pdt But the squealing isn't going away :(

Could very well be I should have a spare 3dpt

as in cooked the daughterboard or the whole pedal?

well the weekend at the end of may became the 31st of August because summer and scorching heat in Italy happened I opened it up, redid a bit of the footswitch wiring, resoldered the LED because the soldering was terrible It still pops so I'm gonna take off the board and check for cold solders In...

yes they are, pedal in fact sounds great

Thanks, I'll try reflowing it during the weekend

Hi @taita87 ! I am Italian as well, and quite new to this community I have always ordered everything from Musikding, you have to wait a bit for the delivery but the customer service is great. Their stock changes very often so sign up for a reminder on the kit, it will have everything you need...

Ah I understand I tried it straight into my solid state fender amp. It's the only DIY pedal that does it. Later today I'll try putting it in the chain with a buffered pedal It's a single pop, could be a cold solder yeah, I've had some trouble lately managing to fit wires in the board. I'll...

Tried two different power supplies, no difference. Unsoldered the LED, reflowed R1 and it still pops It works very well, sounds great, biased both J201s at 6v

Hi all First PPCB build, the lovely Chop Shop. Biased the J201 without problems thanks to the threads in here, sounds great, boxed it up and it pops quite loudly when pushing the 3pdt. Anything obvious that I'm missing? R1 should be the pull down resistor right? Looks fine to me

I bookmarked THIS post! :D

I am afraid I can't help you because my Julia clone does the same thing, I even tried to move the input and output wires but it still ticks. But if I put the pedal in the chain the ticking disappears

Damn, so easy with that solder sucker

I took a look at both schematics and they're the same, with the exception of R100 in Caesar, 10k, and R46 in Julio which is listed as "leave empty" (which I did)... but I can't understand what it does/should be doing I put together an audio probe, won't be easy following the path on the PCB...

Found it on Reddit, I was able to desolder 3 pots that I mounted on the wrong side in my first PCB build

I am quite a noob but after struggling with unsoldering pots for an entire day, what I did was soldering a clipped resistor leg between the pot legs, covering it in solder then melting it all at once and pull the pot slowly off the board

Thanks for the great help! I'll take a look in the next few days and post an update
