    Build docs for Sproing Deluxe Reverb

    I see several post about the Sproing Deluxe Reverb, but on the website it says build documentation coming soon.... Am I missing something? Or can some one post the build documentation? Thanks for any help.

    SOLVED Cataclysm Delay with no echo, but....

    This is way too long to wait, but I did finally figure this out. It turns out that the PCB had no continuity from the negative side of C7 to R10. I ran a jumper wire on the back side of the PCB and presto, works beautifully.

    SOLVED Cataclysm Delay with no echo, but....

    After thinking about it a bit, I'm guessing this is where my problem likely lies. Any thoughts? Thanks again.

    SOLVED Cataclysm Delay with no echo, but....

    This took way longer than I expected, but finally got around to this. There is no signal at pin 14 or 16. Just to be thorough, there is no signal at any of the pins on the PT2399. There is a very faint high pitch at pin 9 and some odd sounding echo at pin 15. There is also signal on the TL072 at...

    SOLVED Cataclysm Delay with no echo, but....

    The PT2399 came from Tayda. I've made other delays with the same chip from Tayda with no issues, but there certainly could have been a bad one in the bunch. I think it's more likely that I may have damaged it on the install (if there is a problem with the chip) since I didn't socket it. And...

    Ok, now that I got that electrolytic cap replaced here's an updated picture. (I should mention that I'm still having the same problem, and I truly appreciate all the help.)

    SOLVED Cataclysm Delay with no echo, but....

    I cleaned things up a bit, added some solder {including the spot chongmagic pointed out, and still getting same results. Attached are a couple of pictures. I have more pictures that may need to be compressed a bit in order to upload. And now that I uploaded these pictures I see at least one...

    SOLVED Cataclysm Delay with no echo, but....

    Thank you for that. I'll give that a try. Two of the pots are soldered from the top side and two are soldered from the bottom, so it may appear worse than it is. However, I will clean them all up and flow some more solder in there. Also, I'll try to get a better picture with daylight.

    SOLVED Cataclysm Delay with no echo, but....

    I'm getting some odd behavior out of my cataclysm delay. All four controls seem to be working, but there is no echo. If I turn the feedback up, it will self oscillate. And while the oscillation is going on, the time, mix and tone controls do what you would expect them to do. But there is no...

    Crystal Drive

    I built one of these in the original format, with a toggle to be able to use germanium diodes. It sounds OK, but the entire sweep of the tone pot does not produce a massive difference, I mean there is a difference from all the way down to all the way up, but it's not as drastic a difference as...

    I just replaced C4. All good! Thank you.

    SOLVED Angry Andy Plus Drive problem

    The ic was out for the resistance readings, in for the voltage.

    Everything measures the same even after the alcohol cleaning.

    SOLVED Angry Andy Plus Drive problem

    https://photos.app.goo.gl/xmgudeo6AbzwQrvP9 All cleaned up. I check the resistance between pin 1 and ground prior to cleaning. It showed 20K with the drive down and 128K with drive up. And the voltages were unchanged prior to cleaning. I have not checked anything after cleaning yet, next on my list.

    SOLVED Angry Andy Plus Drive problem

    Thanks, I did clean and repost pictures on the 15th, but I will clean with alcohol as per your recommendation. I will also follow your other advice tonight when I get home and report the results as soon as I can. I truly appreciate all the help.

    SOLVED Angry Andy Plus Drive problem

    I did try two separate IC's, both the LM833 that is called for. I will try your suggestions tonight to see if that helps. I did start another one of these and I am not having the same issue, but am having an issue with the boost circuit making some squealing noises. I am going to try another...

    Correction, input jack. I don't think it should matter, but just wanted to be as accurate as possible.

    SOLVED Angry Andy Plus Drive problem

    Here are the voltages as requested using the output jack ground. Pin 1 4.81 Pin 2 4.43 Pin 3 4.06 Pin 5 4.185 Pin 6 4.185 Pin 7 3.94 Pin 8 8.35 Not much different. However it occurred to me that these readings are with the gain all the way down. I turn the gain all the way up. As I expected...

    Will do, but that's going have to wait until I get home from work tonight. So hopefully we can pick up in the morning. Thanks.
