    [Ludicrous Speed OD] First attempt at a DIY pedal, not even turning on

    Ok, I have done another test tonight, and it's weird. First of all, I get the signal (via touching the two tips) only in effect mode, but when in effect mode, only the volume seems to work, drive and tone do nothing 🥹 If I go into bypass mode (red light ) then I get no signal whatsoever even...

    [Ludicrous Speed OD] First attempt at a DIY pedal, not even turning on

    Sorry, it's just a typing mistake (I hope): I can confirm that (for example for the stereo input jack) the blue lead goes from the Jack to the I, and then the green lead goes from the BI of the daughterboard to the IN of the main PCB. For the mono output , the blue lead goes from the Jack to...

    [Ludicrous Speed OD] First attempt at a DIY pedal, not even turning on

    Ah, good to know, today I have learned yet another thing :) I do get audio but it was a bit messy trying to engage the effect while manoeuvring everything with one hand. However I can't remember if I was getting sound only when the switch was pressed. I vaguely remember the sound wasn't...

    [Ludicrous Speed OD] First attempt at a DIY pedal, not even turning on

    Further update: I have discovered that if I make the two tips of the input and output touch (see photo), I get a bypass signal. What does that mean?

    [Ludicrous Speed OD] First attempt at a DIY pedal, not even turning on

    Ok, so, some updates : I have desoldered the R10 and installed a 4k7 CLR resistor and we now have a led light (see pics). However , I still get no bypass signal, and it's puzzling me. I have attached the pics of the two jacks, the input stereo blu lead goes into the BI and the I now goes into...

    [Ludicrous Speed OD] First attempt at a DIY pedal, not even turning on

    Ah, in fact, in that building instructions that I have posted, there was this text under the picture of the daughterboard: Note: If wiring the LED to our 3PDT board no need to connect S4, S5 & S6 or populate D6 or R10 (CLR) on the main board since you are wiring your LED directly to our board...

    [Ludicrous Speed OD] First attempt at a DIY pedal, not even turning on

    No, alas I'm not getting any bypass signal even, so I'm afraid I have screwed up big time. Also, while checking continuity I have realised I have also swapped the pots of the volume and drive. Perhaps kickstarting my career of hobbyist pedal builder with two small twins was a mistake, this...

    [Ludicrous Speed OD] First attempt at a DIY pedal, not even turning on

    Thanks folks. I will first try to acquire a new resistor for the CLR, and see if that allows the Led to turn on. I have done a bit of continuity checking today and resoldered a few points , and at least I'm getting continuity between IN and OUT (from the PCB) next would be checking jacks...

    [Ludicrous Speed OD] First attempt at a DIY pedal, not even turning on

    Hi, thanks for the reply. It's upsetting because Musikding didn't include any CLR in the kit.. should it have? Either way, I have tested the LED with my multimeter in diode mode and, despite a very dim light , it seems the LED it's still alive. I will try to get better shots when I can.

    [Ludicrous Speed OD] First attempt at a DIY pedal, not even turning on

    Good morning fine folks, this is my first post ever and I hope to not be violating some rules or not posting in the correct section. I have purchased a Ludicrous Speed OD kit from Musikding.de for which you can see the schematics here. Being my first attempt, and being relatively inexperienced...
