    Tuner not tuning

    Besides the 6002, this seems low to me. I'll check mine when I get home tonight. I have closely looked over your board and I can't find any mistakes. The ribbon cable is right. The diodes and Pcaps are orientated correctly (although some of the diodes are in the shadows). The resistors look...

    Tuner not tuning

    Right. It's not tuning because the 6002 isn't working, because it doesn't have enough voltage. Probe around the junctions on this part of the circuit Specifically, check the voltages on the pins of IC7.

    All DIY-Boards

    My ALL-DIY setup for leading music at church this morning. I guess I need to make my own DI and Bluetooth page turning pedal. I’ve seen DI kits, but not page turning pedal kits. Maybe @joulupukki can help me with that.😎

    Funbox Neptune Reverb/Delay

    Funbox Neptune Reverb/Delay, based on Daisy Seed You can flash the Daisy to any of his 10 predefined modules, or download the software and built your own like @joulupukki did for Flick. I designed the UV for the Neptune Reverb/Delay The unique thing for ME on this build was the use of...

    Acoustic Preamp Design - Preamp & EQ

    Well, Aion does it, and my prototype does it. Seems fine. Maybe it’s not necessary.

    Acoustic Preamp Design - Preamp & EQ

    Yeah I did the same thing, copied L5 preamp. Take a look at the Traco tech notes, they aren’t exactly like the Aion schematic, they only suggest 1 inductor on the input, not both output legs.

    Acoustic Preamp Design - Preamp & EQ

    The biggest problem with pcb v3, is the 3PDT footprints, I had to modify the 3PDT's for them to fit. In hindsight, I could have simply drilled out the holes to 2.5mm, like this, now they fit. If anyone wants to built this, it all seems to work and with this modification shouldn't be any...

    Acoustic Preamp Design - Preamp & EQ

    I was checking the current because I'm using a Traco TEC 3-0923 DC-DC converter that takes 9vdc to 2 legs of +/-15vdc. It's rated for 100 mA per leg and 3W total. It's applying +/-15 v to the 4 op amps, or 30v across each. I have 1R resistors inline to measure the voltage and calculate the...

    Acoustic Preamp Design - Preamp & EQ

    Spent an hour playing it. First impressions, it has a TON of gain between gain (first) and volume (last), not to mention boost. Anyway loads of headroom. Drives me crazy when I’m plugged into a system and the sound guy wants more gain than I have. Sounds real clean with the TLO74s. I’ve got...

    What's on the workbench?

    I've never seen this before, but damn that's smart. I'm assuming installing resistors/diodes vertically it's to make it easier to: a) probe b) remove Anything else?

    Acoustic Preamp Design - Preamp & EQ

    Last night I spent a couple hours measuring the frequency response of each knob/section. I am somewhat shocked, but it all works as I designed. The scope bode plots match what I designed in LT Spice. Next steps: 1) finish wiring up the footswitches 2) play it for many hours, in different...

    Acoustic Preamp Design - Preamp & EQ

    Off the cuff, the opamps could take +/-18v, but I can't find a DC-DC converter that provides that. Options seem to jump from 15 to 24v, and 24v would be over the op amp limit.

    Acoustic Preamp Design - Preamp & EQ

    Well, it's +/-15 volts, or 30 volts total across the op amps, which many EE's would say is WAY overkill. I've literally argued about this very issue on Allaboutcircuit.com. Me, an ME arguing with EE's, I'm definitely outgunned. Grace Designs is kinda the pinnacle for acoustic preamp design...

    Demo of the buffer in Q-Tune

    Here’s a bode plot measurement of the Q-tune buffer. Green trace from 75 hz to 10 kHz.

    Acoustic Preamp Design - Preamp & EQ

    An update, I finally bought a good AWG (arbitrary waveform generator). This AWG and scope combo allows me to create bode plots very easily - the scope tells the AWG what to do via USB (freq range sweep, amplitude, etc). This literally took me 10 minutes to setup and I'm a rookie at this stuff...

    Comparison of Tuners and Q-tune

    Here's another comparison with Canvas included. Something odd happens with Canvas on some notes, it's a small error but considering that the other 4 tuners are rock solid together on a waveform generator, it is strange.

    Q-Tune Build

    I did some tuner comparisons a while back, comparing Q-tune, Peterson, Turbo Tuner and Polytune 3. https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/comparison-of-tuners-and-q-tune.26108/
