Everything is a hammer when you have to crawl back out from a hard spot to find one.

Had a request to build a local dobro player a preamp so I decided to go with this build.. Sounds really good for a clean guitar boost..The EQ section is very useable! I actually started and finished something all in the same day… I have a few other half baked problem children pedals I put to the...

if you end up desoldering the pot, i recommend you clip each leg off the pot with a good pair of side cutters.. then desolder each pin individually...

your soldering and wiring looks really good and your pcb is clean for a new member... could be possible you got a small hunk of a clipped lead in your pot and its stuck to the grease inside making it wonky.... or just a bad pot in general.

Lawd...... When you come back and look at this monstrosity in 4-5 years your gonna be impressed with your progression... That's kinda a beautiful mess if you even get it boxed and working..lol. Keep practicing....

Your soldering looks pretty decent.. Might wanna show your offboard wiring and how your switch and jack connections look..... You'll want to break off those tabs on your pots as well before boxing up. Double/triple check your resistor codes versus your pcb.... things like 4k7 versus 47k etc etc..

your aware that all of the pcb's here are designed to have pcb mounted pots right?

I've got a request to build the EMU with 1/4" and XLR out.. Has anyone completed one like this? I'd like to know the best way to wire it up to have both options..

likely but suspect since he has a clock issue

is your 15pf a tantalum/polarized?.. better pics from other angles and the back of your board will be required for further advice.

I pondered the order switch but ultimately decided I’d never need the Benson pushing the Rangefinder…

Clean.. Nice build man

I'm not exactly sure... I'm prepping for more questions for the guy before I make a choice.. it's a friend of a friend I've never met..

Just joshing… I’ve always been a strat or tele guy… I recently got a Les Paul standard and the neck pickups feel super warm and much darker than my Strats or teles…. If you roll the tone back on my Les Paul it gets crazy dark sounding… I still haven’t fallen in love with humbuckers yet…. But...

Looks like GOTA is giving the stink eye..... He might be a neck bucker player with the tone knob rolled down for those extra dark vibes.

I'm with you on the treble boost.... I have a Rangefinder on my board that is always on ... and I'm a single coil guy.

Nope..... No distortion wanted technically

I was looking at this one as well…. I like the idea of the tone shaping section on this one’s schematic too

Got a request to build a preamp pedal for a dobro player that uses a passive pickup... plugs into a direct box>FOH. Says he looking for something to boost his signal with a separate gain/volume. I was thinking some sort of boost build with an EQ section or possibly the unicab or EMU? Neither of...

And I have to gut it... it sounds like absolute doodoo... I got something crossed... lol. Something is shorting out.. might have a pot shorting out to the enclosure... probably the pot tabs touching foil..
