Yeah, the supply voltages have never been checked. I it worked upon building it so assembling it wad the last thing I did before it started exhibiting this issue. How would one check supply voltages, and if the tube's heater voltage remain constant over time, and if the other voltage supplies...

I waited 2 hours and tried again. It was “gatey” from the beginning as beforehand. I don’t think it’s worse with the tin foil over the LEDs.

I tried the tin foil thing. At first it seemed to act normally. Then after a few strums, the “gatey” thing started happening again. Maybe worse than before. I’m going to let it sit for a while and try again but that’s what I can report now.

Nice! I have been interested in this one for a while. The original EQD pedal is based off of a MKII Tone Bender I assume from your review?

No, I had previously noticed that when I plug it in, and when I press the footswitch to activate the pedal, the lower LED flashes on quickly, but the upper one doesn't. I just tried it again. Upon plugging it in the lower LED flashes on quickly when the power cable makes contact with the DC...

Just checked them. They are in correctly, both in the same orientation. If one or both were installed wrong, it wouldn’t have worked from the beginning, right?

Ok. Use the foil to cover the LEDs? Is this to make a "shield" on them?

I did the test. Yes, on the LED setting, if I have the volume rolled down and I strum a chord, when I hear the "gating" start to happen, I rolled the volume up and the sound comes back to what I would say is normal, then as it dissipates the gating starts again. It doesn't do this on the 1N4148...

Thank you!

Just giving this a bump. Maybe @Robert could weight in if you're out there

I will give it a try!

Harbor Freight. On clearance sale a couple years ago. I know it's not the best but it's way better than the one I had before:) Plus I also picked up a TC1 not long after so I use that more for measuring.

Reversing the DMM's probes still doesn't give any reading on either LED. However, the bottom LED now lights up when I probe the top LED.

I tried measured the LEDs. Neither of them show any reading, but the bottom one lights up when I apply the DMM prongs. DMM is on diode setting and the screen doesn't change when the DMM prongs are touching the LED leads.

I have several times. But at some point I decided I'd rather pay Tayda to do it than myself.

I have some questions about drilling that I think I already know the answer to but I just want to be sure. The Cast Iron Overdrive is the standard PedalPCB 5 knob layout? The pots on the Golden Falk are the standard PedalPCB 4 knob layout (but has the switch where the LED normally is and an...

Ok thanks guys. I will measure the LEDs as described. And maybe replace C8.

Killer work! Your brother should be excited and proud.

Ok. To do that, I measure the DC voltage across the 2 LED's pads, which I will have do do on the bottom of thePCB since they are basically flush with the board? And just to add some more information, when I plug it in, and when I press the footswitch, the lower LED flashes on quickly, but the...

I will take a look at the orientation of the diodes but if ore or both were installed the wrong way, wouldn’t that have been evident when I built it last year? It was working normally before.
