I use one of these usb fan vents and I mount it on a microphone boom stand so it is about 6” directly above where I am soldering. I also bought a longer 3” hose and run it to the closest window. The fumes rise into the fan assisted by the suction and right out the window. https://a.co/d/5zkLeAk

I ran into an issue with a fake TL072 on my last build. I didn’t realize they were fake, I bought them off Amazon and used them in a Muzzle noise gate. The gate would make a strange fizzle or crackling noise when the input signal would be close to the threshold. After posting about the issue, a...

are you planning in using the send and return loop for a reverb tank, or just as an optional effects loop?

@CanadianDave, how does it sound? It looks awesome.

Well this is embarrassing. It looks like a counterfeit TL072 is to blame for the noise. I changed it out for a genuine TL072 from another pedal, and the crackle is gone. It also raised the threshold sensitivity significantly. Lesson learned, source parts from a reputable dealer. Thanks everyone...

I got the TL072s in a pack of 12 of Amazon. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are fake. Haha I’ll try some of the possible solutions provided by the collective and report back if any of those things are the culprit. Thank you!

Thanks @Paradox916. I tested grounding the input jack after @benny_profane mentioned that I am not grounding the enclosure through the foot switch like I thought. I will also make sure to ground the enclosure for my builds going forward. I am still getting the noise though even when the...

I just tested running a ground lead from the ground of one of the jacks to exposed metal enclosure and still had that noise. Going forward though I think I’ll switch to metal jacks to avoid the enclosure not being grounded. Thank you for the heads up about the isolated jacks. I hadn’t considered...

I believe I do. Through the footswitch making contact to the enclosure.

I just checked out your build post. I like your Muffler! I also used a glitter brown enclosure from Tayda for my build. Funny, two separate gates and PCBs built by different people near the same date (I am guessing) with the same sonic curiosity. Maybe it’s the glitter brown enclosures haha. I...

I am adding some photos in case they will help. Maybe I am just overlooking something.

Hi all! I finished up a Muzzle (Classic) build this past weekend. The pedal seems to work as intended but I am getting some crackling and fizzy sounds when the input signal is crossing below the pedal’s threshold setting. This happens with the four cable or the two cable method. The noise...

Ooof, I haven’t posted enough to be allowed to PM someone. It says I can only PM staff. Are you able to PM me?

+1 on what Quirkey asked. Can you point us to the schematic you used? Thanks in advance.

Thanks so much for confirming! I am looking forward to hearing it.

Hi @neiltheseal. I am building a Keepressor currently. Can you confirm that I am understanding the C5 issue correctly? I need to have the capacitor from C5 run to the emitter instead of it going into the other hole for C5? Thanks in advance.
