No. :ROFLMAO: It could be though.

Found it. Yes, 8A is the marking for the ST L78L33ACUTR https://www.st.com/resource/en/datasheet/l78l.pdf So now you need to determine if the problem is the circuit or the regulator...

It's hard to say 100% with confidence..... It could be some form of 3.3V regulator, but if it's getting hot without an excessive load something is wrong. Either it is not a regulator, can't handle 9V input, can't handle the current requirement of the FV-1, the pinout is different from the...

That's one less solder joint to worry about when the switch gets replaced by a "tech" because the sound keeps cutting out intermittently... Who's laughing now?

There are 3.3V regulators designed to operate on a maximum of 6V input.

I don't have all of the values yet but it's a Fuzz Face with an emitter resistor (bypassed by another resistor+cap in series) on Q1.

Correct.

My eyes are getting too old for this.... :ROFLMAO:

It's "tightly based" on the Soldano SLO.... it does sound really good though. I'm going to have to dig out the SLO and compare because I don't remember liking it as much as this one.

With good reason.... it is, in fact, a clone.... Surprise! 🤣

I do not miss working with a single monitor.... not one bit.... This is not fun. :ROFLMAO: 😭

I'll be working on that one today.

Oh yeah, almost forgot. 🤘🔥

One of my first amps when I was a teen was a Crate Vintage Club 50... I had a 1/4" > 1/8" cable so I used it as my computer speaker... I don't know that it ever got turned off, to be honest. I knew there were "tubes" inside, but I didn't know (nor care) beyond giving the warning "Hey...

Alright I'm starting to see a pattern forming here.... 🤦‍♂️

Check/reflow the solder on pin 6 of the FV-1.

You can ignore the EEPROM for now. Shorting pin 13 to ground activates the internal programs of the FV-1, bypassing the EEPROM. We haven't guaranteed that it's good without a doubt, but it's not causing the issue at the moment.
