    Oh man. Wasn't even on my radar! Awesome knob choice too!

    SOLVED Dream Fuzz (low output/ extreme bass)

    Was asking about the v out of pin 5 in the event R2/3 were out of tolerance of the opamp was outputting a strange offset. Seems good enough for a muff. You're not feeding this with a line level signal are you?

    DEMO Hotkits Melissa Tube Overdrive (based on Friedman BE100 BE Channel)

    Nice work! Isn't hotkits the new PCBGM alias? edit, checked, yep.

    Automatic Wire Strippers

    I'm with Eric S on the cheapies. They have a stop on the handle that you have to setup. So best to set them for one -two sizes of wire and leave it. I mostly use solid core, which requires probably more precision because you have to cut 95% through ptfe or it won't come off the wire. Also, you...

    EHX Big Muff w/ Tone Wicker Stripboard

    Ah. I always just assumed it was a bypass with a silly name. Looks like @Bricksnbeatles dropped some knowledge here in post 8. Lifting one side of the treble blocking caps. Theory being the 4066 was used to prevent popping. Via FSB May be cool to implement with a 3P4T as the general opinion on...

    EHX Big Muff w/ Tone Wicker Stripboard

    Well done. I believe the madbean muff has the tone bypass option, fwiw.

    SOLVED Dream Fuzz (low output/ extreme bass)

    what are you talking about? There are 3 gain stages. A single and a dual opamp. It's right there in the schem.

    SOLVED Dream Fuzz (low output/ extreme bass)

    I'd do a couple things. 1)try another dual opamp 2)before insert the new opamp, check resistance between pin 7 and 8 to make sure there is not a bridge under the socket or elsewhere. The first gain stage shouldn't be super distorted, unless your feed too hot of a signal in. With no audio, what...

    Those WIMA 1uf 3.5mm Box Caps

    If it's for decoupling , you can often use a smaller cap too. gotta check the math if there's a resistor to ground after it(hot) but if it's straight up decoupling, you won't hear a diff in a slightly smaller cap.

    SOLVED Dream Fuzz (low output/ extreme bass)

    Probe is the way to go. Kinda sounds like you have a wrong value cap that shifted a filter. Probe pins 1 and 7 of IC1 and pin 6 of IC2.

    SOLVED Dream Fuzz (low output/ extreme bass)

    Is the lower pot insulated? If not, could be shorting some points Edit. Missed that note. Though cardboard and kapton tape aren't exactly puncture proof.

    That should be about the level of the top end of your clock signal. It could be confusing your DMM. Check with the scope.

    Is pin 4 no longer oscillating and stuck at -100mV?

    Boss CE1 king of chorus no chorus

    Cool. Good. Time to RTFDS. Page 5. Everyone sing along. Not V13-16 on pin 13 on page 2. Is your clock swinging between 9V and the voltage reading on pin 13(-13.9)+/-10%?

    Boss CE1 king of chorus no chorus

    Base should go to -14 through r29. That's continuity. Resistors establish continuity. Do you have a short(0 ohms) from Q3B to -14? Check resistance. But also, there's a ton of series parallel going on there in that circuit block.... Sorry. Right tool for the job. Gotta get it on a scope if you...

    Boss CE1 king of chorus no chorus

    I mean, to be fair the one in that video isn't working either. Maybe the footswitches are used in a way that it doesn't matter. You should be getting audio out of the TDA anyway. Have a buddy with an oscope or maybe at work/school? I skimmed through some that thread previously linked. May be...

    Parentheses Fuzz

    Since it's not just clipping, but rectum-frying, matching all components can help ensure the folded over (lower)wave is of close level to the original waveform(upper). If you really want to tune it, install the JDSleep trimmer and tune it with a some wave and scope
