Cool, thanks Robert

So I've never worked with a rotary switch. Long story short I didn't measure my enclosure drill outs correctly and my rotary is in the way of my jack. I was wondering if I could wire it in instead of mounting directly into the pcb to save some room. I noticed there's a little tab on the switch...

was going to post this, I bought the $20 tc-1 after buying a $40 tester lol

I'm also having issues with this board lol. Mine however involves the switch. I installed an on/off/on that's what it calls for in the docs. However 2 of them dont do anything. There's sound but basically a boost, no change in each. The last setting works. It's a fuzz/octave.and sounds good.

Im building this pedal now with OA200 diodes and BC574A Transistors. wondering if I should use the A10k for vol?

Ok, I'll check that in first thing when I get home. Thanks robert

Honestly, I believe it was happening last night when I was messing with it last night. I'm not home right now but I believe it was happening without the power plugged in.

The DC isn't shorted, it just looks like it from the picture. Bad angle. It's also not my cables. Tested them with all my other pedals I've made. I will shorten up those wires. I'm thinking some wire in that mess is probably the issue.

I'll try adding a resistor, adjusting the trim doesn't change the grounding issue. It's happening with the pedal off. I'll fix up those wires connecting to the board

So I'm getting ground noise.high pitched..when touching the guitar strings and the footswitch/pots it goes away. I noticed it happens when the guitar cable is plugged into the output. When plugged into the input it doesn't happen. Anything I can add to help ground it? I'll try to reflow the...

at least in my state. speaking of tayda shipping, I ordered last wed and still not shipped yet. I didnt even order a colored enclosure. longest wait for me since Ive been using them. they must be busy

fedex express drivers actually work for Fedex, Fedex ground drivers do not work for fedex and work for random owners like amazon drivers. Amazon drivers are not amazon employees.

its a 2n2

I finally solved the issue, I changed out the TOP pot to a B50k and not only does it work. ITS LOUD. I think I may change out the vol pot to a B100k not sure how much of a difference that will make, I kind of like the B50k in that spot. I didnt strip the wire long enough and it wasnt getting a...

vol is normal in bypass pressing on the transistors makes some wild noises and changes the sounds like a wild alien is being assaulted yeah all 3 are laid out for 3903. which ill try in a few days.

yeah, I used several different transistors with the same effect. I think they are very loose in the sockets. maybe at least one of them being very loose. ill check the sockets like @Ginsly said tomorrow. ill also solder whatever transistors I use in there and go from there. I checked continuity...

I have 2n3903 in the mail, im going to try them and ill solder them in the sockets to be sure no loose connections. I do believe this is part of the problem.

I have continuity between the tip and the out wire and not with the enclosure/out wite

I solder two wires together because they werent long enough lol. ill try that. thanks

its floating from all the wires basically. the solder side isnt close at all to the bottom of the enclosure
