    Parentheses Fuzz signal tracing

    Sorry for the somewhat inconsistent responses to the suggestions here! But I have had some success. As I suspected there seemed to be something wrong with the batch of 100k pots I had. I swapped those out and it immediately worked. Although then it was super noisy so I went and shortened the...

    Parentheses Fuzz signal tracing

    I spent some time on this with my oscilloscope and a test signal today. The faulty PF5102s came from ebay but the 2n5457s I've used to replace them seem to be working just fine. I actually think there's some mechanical problem with the A100k pots - if I jiggle the connections and shaft around...

    Parentheses Fuzz signal tracing

    I’m stumped! I’ve taken it out of its enclosure and it sounds the same.

    Parentheses Fuzz signal tracing

    I swapped both of the 5102s out for 2n5457s and the signal passes through fine. I have a couple other issues though: 1) The boost potentiometer only seems to work when it is not attached to the enclosure. I had to swap out one of the other pots because of the same problem. I can't see that...

    Parentheses Fuzz signal tracing

    Bingo, I swapped the first one out for a 2n5457 and the signal passes. I will see if I need to replace the second 5102 as well but I'm currently puzzling about what seems to be an intermittent mechanical problem with my filter pot...

    Parentheses Fuzz signal tracing

    I've built a Parentheses fuzz. None of the Distortion, Octave or Boost are working. I've started tracing the signal and it seems to stop at Q1. I've got my input signal at pin 3 and +9v at pin 1 but don't seem to be getting anything from pin 2 - should I be seeing an amplified version of the...

    Parentheses fuzz with footswitch breakouts

    I have 3 spare footswitches with 6 pins each - would those work?

    Parentheses fuzz with footswitch breakouts

    I was overeager with my soldering, didn't look at the build guide closely, and soldered 3PDT breakout boards to all 3 of the footswitches for my Parentheses Fuzz (2019). Is it possible to hook these up somehow to the main PCB without desoldering them? I see that the center (octave) switch has...

    Parentheses Fuzz w/ 9 volt battery?

    Will I be able to power the Parentheses Fuzz using a 9 volt battery? I can’t see anything regarding its power requirements in the build doc. Thanks!
