Built a Pendulum. Sounds great. Only issue is that the LFO LED stays engaged and the red 3mm LEDs stay in flashing mode even when the pedal is bypassed. Is this how it's supposed to work? If not, any suggestions? THX

I'm going to build a Pendulum Tremolo which will be my first LDR pedal project. I've got a bag of 5516s which I purchased years ago. They mostly test from 3k-6k on my cheap T7 tester. Can someone give me an idea of what values would work best for this project? I'm obviously clueless here but...

Sounds great, guys. Thanks for all the good feedback.

I'm going to build a second RAH. Love the first one but I wouldn't mind ditching some of the high end on the treble. I'm currently rolling it most all the way back. Maybe I need more low end instead. Any suggestions for parts swaps?

Issue solved. Bypassed the burned out pad on the boards CLR by attaching the 4.7k resistor straight to the positive side of the LED.

I put the jumper on the main board LED pads as suggested. Still no luck. Then replaced the red 5mm LED on the brightness board, thinking I might have destroyed it. No luck. I must be too much of noob for this (stick with what you know) so I clipped FS out of the circuit and threw it in the...

I've got a followup question in the meantime regarding resistor values for this LED breakout board. I like using the standard clear LED (not the super bright) but even that LED is just too bright. That's why I wanted to try this 3pdt board. So, was the 2.2k and a 10K trimpot a good resistor...

Gotcha. I thought I'd seen someone post about a jumper for the board's LED but thought I'd post here first. Out of town till Wednesday but will reply back once I've sorted this fix. Thanks guys.

Just finished the Rockstar using a 3pdt breakout board with LED brightness control. The pedal works fine and sounds great but I've probably made a new builder error on this breakout board. It does not light up. I put a 0 ohm resistor where the 4.7k would normally go on the main board. The...

So, I got the correct values in the mail today and replaced C5 & C7. It works like a champ. Great pedal. Sounds awesome. As a new builder I don't understand enough about these circuits to know when I can fudge on some of the values and when I can't. Obviously this one required exact values. I...

Ok great! Thanks for getting back.

New builder here. I've had the Rock Star on my wishlist but have been waiting for the build docs. How do you know what component values to use without the docs when they're not printed on the board? Thx

Going to do a parts order soon. Will replace C5 and C7 with the exact values then if you think that's part of the problem.

So, since I used a 680n (no 820s on hand) would could that be part of the problem? Also, since I'm coming clean, I was out of 56n and used a 47n. Everything else is as it should be.

It looks pretty clean to me. Am pretty meticulous with trying to make good solid solder joints and I always use a toothbrush with rubbing alcohol at the end. Could I have fried the switch when soldering?

Thanks for getting back so quickly. Here we go.

Just finished the Distortr build. Everything works well except the 3 way switch. The up position sounds awesome. The mid and lower position make a very low volume fizzy sound. Have checked the position of the switches and they are correctly placed Any thoughts on what the issue may be...

Robert, I just ran across this thread. I ordered the Celestial Drive back in June 2022. Couldn't get it to work no matter how many times I tried to troubleshoot. I've done about 50 builds at this point and feel pretty good about my work. So, I'm wondering if maybe my Celestial board is from that...

Any chance the build docs will pop up soon?
