    SOLVED Uberfuzz worked for a while, now it doesn't.

    I built an Uberfuzz late last year, and it's worked great up until about a month ago. The pedal began working intermittently, now I get no effect. Bypass sounds great, and the LED lights up. I can't find a ground issue anywhere, and I replaced the 3PDT foot switch just in case there was an issue...

    SOLVED AionFX Lithium pedal - Has Power, No Effect

    The pedal power's on, and has a clean tone, but there's no effect when adjusting the pots. I went back in and reflowed most of the joints as well as passed the iron between joints to remove any possible shorts. The wiring looks correct based on the diagram. Any thoughts as to what might be the...

    SOLVED Slide switch confusion on AionFX Lithium PCB

    I ordered this switch based on the part number listed on AionFX's PDF. Come to find out, it's a SPDT switch instead of a DPDT (also listed on their PDF). Which is correct (see pic). Also, I only need the MN3007 version of the pedal so the switches function isn't necessary. Can I just bypass it...

    SOLVED I did something stupid

    Last night, I mistakenly soldered this footswitch breakout board upside down. I assume that it'll still work as long as the remaining connections are soldered correctly. Correct or am I screwed?

    Uberfuzz (Univox Super-Fuzz)

    Fun build, and my third completed pedal. I sourced some OA90 germanium diodes from British Audio in Nashville, and I used 2N5088 transistors in place of what was listed. My son built this pedal first so I knew I had to bend the leads to match the order of the original 2SC828's. The bias trimmer...

    Swapping a capacitor on the Kliche Overdrive PCB

    Can someone tell me what the 390pf ceramic capacitor does (C8) on the attached diagram? I'd like to finish this build, but I'm missing that particular component. I have a 330pf film capacitor or a 470pf ceramic that I might socket until I get a cap with the correct value. Thoughts on how that...

    Snuffy Fuzz (ZVEX Woolly Mammoth Clone)

    This pedal was my first build, and intended for bass. My son likes to mess around with it on guitar as well. Initially, I had the input jacks wired incorrectly. Someone on the forum pointed it out when I asked for help (thank you). I fixed that issue, and now this Snuffy Fuzz is working...

    El Sol Distortion in a 1590A Enclosure

    This is my first build that had zero issues out of the gate. The docs state that it is designed for a 125B enclosure, but I took some measurements and determined that the board was small enough to fit into a 1590A box. I feel pretty good about the hole placements for the input/output, pot, LED...

    SOLVED Dirt Dauber - Build docs call for different capacitor then PCB board

    I ordered components based on the build docs, but I just realized there's an inconsistency between that info and how the board is labeled. I'm specifically referring to the electrolytic capacitors at C4 and C2. Docs say 16V, but the board is labeled 50V (see pics). I'm new to circuit building...

    Dirt Dauber Not Working (2nd Build)

    I had an issue with my first build and the forum solved it for me so I'm hoping you guys can do the same for my 2nd Build. This Dirt Dauber powers on, LEDs work, and I get a clean tone. Knobs, switch, and Octave footswitch do nothing, and the Bypass footswitch kills the signal to the amp. My...

    SOLVED Snuffy Fuzz Help - bypass works, but that's about it.

    Hi all. The Snuffy was my first build, and I thought it turned out pretty clean for a total beginner. That was until I gave it a test run. At first, it didn't power on so I tested the leads on the power jack and received negative voltage. I reversed them and now I get power, and bypass works...
