    SOLVED Paragon(esque) board problem.

    —— turned out I fried the footswitch PCB. I by-passed the Pcb and wired the footswitch myself. All good now. Hello. I built a Stew Mac Two Kings drive (their version of King Of Tone. I’m having an issue and the board looks like the Paragon drive, so I’m taking a shot here- The left channel...

    1st attempt at OpAmp..

    I am learning OpAmps now. My first attempt is a Dan Armstrong Blue Clipper. I really think that I have it wired correct on the breadboard. I’m using an RC4458 IC chip. When I switch it on- I get a beating hum and gated sound. When I switch the power on the chip to 18v- it works fine. I tried a...

    I’m doing a Beatle Juice Fuzz build now- my initial test has nothing when the pedal is engaged. Then I discovered that I put a 22 ohm resistor at R3 instead of a 220k. I got it off the board and I realize Indont have any 220ks so I ordered a few. Would that cause no sound in this case or will I...

    SOLVED- All Points Boost.

    So- I wired up the All Points Booster. I actually breadboarded it from the schematic as a learning tool. I didnt have a 2n5088 transistor and substituted a 2N3904. The breadboard circuit worked fine. When I went to the PC board- there was the added part of the circuit that ends at the LED...
