Footswitch and wiring is good. It seems like part of the PCB isn't getting voltage.

Yeah the foot switch is good too.

Thanks to everyone for the replys. All ICs came from reputable suppliers. Either Mouser, Small Bear or Stomp box parts. The LED not working is throwing me off a bit. I've seen pedals not work before but the LED still turned on.

A builder I follow on instagram built two of these and neither worked. Starting to think I'm having the same issue as the other defective PCB I got with the bad trace. Or maybe something is up with the included randomizer IC? I feel like the bypass LED would still work even if there were an...

I'm getting around 8.1v on one side and around 5v on the other. Zero volts in the middle. Using a battery off my bench that's around 8.65 volts. I swapped out all of the ICs except for the one that came with the PCB. If somehow there were something wrong with that IC I feel like the LED would...

Built a Low Tide Modulator sometime last year, it didn’t work and ended up in the box of shame. Went through everything I can think of but no luck. It bypasses signal but nothing happens when switched on and the LED doesn’t turn on either. There seems to be voltage coming into the board, I...

I just built the Conqueror too and love it. For those who have built both the Conqueror and Mystery Machine is it normal for the Conqueror to have more gain? Even with the distortion knob maxed on the MM the Conqueror still gets fuzzier.

So I did the rate LED Mod on this and used two LEDs in series and it works good. A 5mm diffused yellow inside and a 3mm diffused red for the rate. Doesn't seem to have any effect on the voice pot or anything else that I can tell. The PCB mania version of this pedal (submarine device) is...

Is it two LEDs connected in series with ones anode and the others cathode connected to PCB?

Possibly could be a bad trace (faulty connection) in the daughterboard on the 3pdt switch. Or maybe even a faulty 3pdt but that seems less likely since the LED is getting switched on. Sounds like it's powering up ok and connecting to ground to switch the LED on but not getting any sound when...

Thanks 👍 I figure whatever the average hfe is of the ones I have should probably be ok. I have a 2n1302 that's around 40-50 hfe waiting to get stuffed in 😁

Hey nice build! Are there any special hfe values for the 2n5089 and the 2n3904 in this build? Thanks

Looks great. Thanks!

How did you apply that image on the enclosure? Looks great!

When doing this mod is it possible to use a 3k-4k resistor to get the brightness I want or does the resistor have to be a higher value around 16k or more?

I'm about to use this same me-6 inductor for my MM build and was wondering about how it mounts. Just found your mod which made everything make sense. This forum has soo much valuable info 🫠 thanks!

Gonna try the probe next. Hoping it’s just the zero ohm resistor I used.

So I finished it up with the 100k volume pot and.... no sound. Lol. It passes signal in bypass and the LED turns on and off as it should. All the ICs are getting voltage. I took the pot off for now and hooked the output up the regular way just to troubleshoot and not have that be a factor. So...

I actually didn’t finish it yet. Just have the board all ready to go while waiting on some enclosures. I was thinking about doing it their way with the red/green LED but figured I’d probably only end up using one of the settings anyways. The only thing making me want to do the mod is that I know...

While building this last week I realized there is a way to get a regular LED to line up straight with this layout. I’m sure it’s been noticed but I haven’t seen it mentioned. Put the anode leg in the outside right hole and the cathode leg in the outside left hole and get it to the height...
