    Beatle Juice Fuzz diode question

    Yeah absolutely. It's a one trick fuzz but it's a beast. Made another one for a friend and he loved it. But I highly suggest using an A10k for the volume pot instead of the B10k. You get a lot more control over the travel of the volume swell.

    Salesman 4p3t switch question

    Ok great, there we go. Don't know how I missed that switch at Stompbox. ThX!

    Salesman 4p3t switch question

    I bought the 4p3t switch pictured below but the center pins on the switch don't match with the ones on the board (4 pins on board / 3 pins on switch). Where do I purchase the proper switch for this board? Thx

    British Royalty issue LED turns on but no engaged signal

    Ok just replaced both R100 and D100. Still no luck. I'll be getting that audio probe first of the week. I'm sure it's fairly intuitive but has anybody posted a tutorial on using one? Thanks for the input (y)

    British Royalty issue LED turns on but no engaged signal

    So, I tested my FETs and they are all in range. But, I'm not getting any voltage readings on them. I've certainly biased pedals before so I don't think it's a lame user error. LED is still showing power. I hit all the solder points again. Also including another pic that gives a better view of...

    British Royalty issue LED turns on but no engaged signal

    I'm circling back to a couple of builds I've had issues with. Here are a couple of pics of my British Royalty OD build. I get a clean signal and then when engaged the LED turns on but no signal. I just ordered a Rattlesnake audio probe. I have no experience with one but I'll give it a shot...

    Beatle Juice Fuzz diode question

    I did not. Thought I start with the A10k and lower the value with a resistor across the lugs if needed But 10k worked fine

    Beatle Juice Fuzz diode question

    The A10k on the volume put is definitely the ticket. Fixed the problem for sure. Thanks for the feedback

    Pedals sound great but get occasional hissing

    I can always pull the boards and post pics

    Pedals sound great but get occasional hissing

    No pattern on either pedal. Just starts hissing occasionally. Sometimes if I stomp on the switch on/off several times it goes away. Makes me think I should resolder all the joints one more time. Only hisses when pedals are on. The hiss stays unless I hit the switch several times or unplug and...

    Pedals sound great but get occasional hissing

    As a follow up: I've tried both pedals with different power bricks and in a couple of different places in the house. Also where we rehearse. I did see mention of poor solder connections. I think my soldering is pretty good but... should I consider pulling the boards and re-hitting all solder points?

    Pedals sound great but get occasional hissing

    Two of the pedals I've built will sometimes hiss when engaged: Pharmacist and Whipped Cream. I've built 3 Pharmacist and this is the only one I've had issues with. The Whipped Cream sounds great but can't put either pedal on the board because the hissing is unpredictable. I've checked all my...

    Soul Drive Pots and LEDs

    Gotcha. Thanks for the feedback. I'm on it.

    Soul Drive Pots and LEDs

    Building the SoulDrive. Robert mentioned using a B1M for the drive pot in one version and a B500k in another version. I've got A1M stamped on my board. Can I get some feedback on this? Also, I'm assuming that I need to use Red for the 2 clipping diodes. Is that correct?

    Salesman Diodes question

    Will do. Thx👍

    Beatle Juice Fuzz diode question

    I tried the resistor approach across the B10k. Initially felt there was an improvement but now not so. I will replace with the A5k and get back to you. Thx💪

    Salesman Diodes question

    ok I will definitely socket and compare the two. Thx💪

    Salesman Diodes question

    Building the Salesman now and I don't have any 1N60P diodes. Will a 1n34a or a BAT 46 work as a replacement?

    Schematics 101: How To Determine Which Resistors Bias Each Transistor?

    The Beatle Juice fuzz. Love it but it's hard to find the sweet spot on my board since it goes from 0 to 10 right around 9 o'clock
