Hi all. I got this Fuzzy Fox built but all I'm getting is a loud static when engaged. I tried reflowing so joints, but so far it didn't help. I usually start by measuring voltages on the ICs but not sure how to go about debugging this one. I already tried cleaning the flux with ISO and a...

Happy holidays all! I'm putting together my simple jfet buffer and I ordered 2M2 1/8 W resistors for R1 and R2 based on the build doc but the PCB has 2M printed on it. I know the answer is usually go with what is printed on the board but I thought maybe 2M2 wouldn't fit on board. So can I use...

Hi all, I just got these 1N34A diodes for a fuzzy fox build but there is no markings on the glass. Any diode experts out there that can help me get these oriented?

Hi all. I got some 2N3565 that @Robert has for sale on the site and want to get confirmation that flat edge should go at 4:30 where a tab is printed on the board? TIA

I just finished this one up and unfortunately I'm getting no sound when engaged. In bypass it works perfectly. All four LEDs light up, although only the ON/OFF indicator turns off when bypassed, the other three continue to throb. Here are the voltages from the 2 ICs: Top TL074 1 4.20 2 4.70 3...

Finished these two projects over the weekend. The Paragon Mini gave me a little bit of trouble, but was worth it because I improved my debugging skills. Both sound great. I socket R3 and R20 so I could change the gain levels. I have a 1K resistor in channel 1 played with a couple of values in...

So this breaks my streak; my last few build worked without any debugging... The pedal works in bypass but I get no sound when either or both sides are engaged. The LEDs light up fine. I reflowed a bunch of pins, but after measuring voltages on the OpAmp, I think that is where the trouble is...

Hi all, I would like to dip my toes in the Wet/Dry amp world. I was thinking of using 2x Signal Buffer / Inverter PCB's but have a few questions: 1) Do I simply wire both boards to the the tip of the input or is there a better way to do it? 2) Is there an easy way to add a ground lift to one...

I had previously tried to build the mini version a while back but failed, and was never able to debug the problem. I had always want to get one of these on my board, so I decided to give it another try. This time I decided to not make things any harder than they needed to be and went with the...

So it looks like the IEB0105S09 DC/DC Converter is not available anymore. Mouser is recommending IE0509S as a replacement. It looks like it has the right specs; Can anyone verify if this will do the trick?

I have a Epiphone Joe Pass guitar that I suspect has a bad three way selector. The guitar doesn't always send a signal down the cable but sometime jiggling the selector switch will temporarily fix the issue. I opened it up to take a look: The solder connections look solid to me. I have...

So, I've decided to dip my toes in DipTrace, in hopes to design a two in one tube screamer circuit. I started by replicating the circuit based on the Little Green Scream Machine circuit. I would like the circuit to have two of the clipping sections in series, which can be independently...

Hey guys, I finally have the time to play around with DipTrace. I'm starting by trying to draw the schematic for a TS-808 to get familiar with the program. I added the Rullywow library but I'm getting stuck because I can't find the VCC and VREF "components" What is the best way to set those up?

Well this was a straight forward and enjoyable build I did manage to solder a tube socket to the wrong side of the board. I was able to remove the tube socket so fortunately I didn't have to replace that. I ordered the replacement board, and being a good guy @vigilante398 gave me a few extra...

Like an idiot I soldered the tube socket on the wrong side of the daughter board. Will it work if I just place the daughter boards on the opposite sides?

Should I connect the mute and buffer if I'm just using a 3PDT?

I'm getting ready to place the LDR/LED in my General Tso build and want to make sure I do it correctly. My plan is to the LED touching the LDR, and then cover it a tube of shrink wrap like this: Should I heat the shrink wrap tight, or just tight enough to block the light out?

This was a surprisingly straight forward build, with the very detailed build instructions. This is my first time working with tubes and I was nervous at the prospect of debugging a high voltage pedal, but fortunately everything worked the first time around, and didn't require debugging. And it...

I haven't finished building this yet but the two pictured pad and showing connectivity on my DMM. Is this a problem and if so how can I fix it. The pads are really close but there is a tiny gap in the solder between the.
