This thread is like reading dessert, thank you everyone. 🤣

My friend handed me a box of MPF6660 MOSFETs. Any fun suggestions on what to do with these things?

Fixed the pedal today, cleaned it inside and out (I swear, is my friend a secret train engine mechanic?), and it's working great. No sound issues, sparks or smoke. Thanks for the help, everyone! Now I'll be on the lookout for the screws for the box.

Dang, went the extra mile, thanks! So it looks like I just need to throw something in there with a decent voltage rating. Woah, and it's green, ha! Yeah, mine is gone daddy gone. I'll probably put it up on that side when I throw it on the desk. Just gotta double check the polarity, lol.

Alright, so I've seen one post about this cap somewhere on the ether, and they're saying the original was a 2.2uf electrolytic, and they were talking about switching it to tantalum or whatever. And then others don't have it at all? I swear, this design is so inconsistent. The handwriting in mine...

Oh yes. That guy is a bad take factory, and that's being nice. To be completely truthful might violate terms of service.

C2 maybe but the C8 area can easily be seen on both sides.

Oh heck no! I already got this thing and a Boss RV-6 for free! Only a jack, cap, or wire here and there. More violence! More, MORE!

Hey, thank you to everyone responding! I had a busy workweek and I came back to this whole thread. I think I'll need to check where the email alerts are sending to. 😅 I'm being nice when I say my friend is extremely rough with his pedals. This one came with the base unscrewed and crunching into...

So a friend of mind gave me his old OCD pedal (V 1.7). He'd lost the screws, one of the knobs and apparently a capacitor! It's labeled C8 and I'm pretty sure it was a tantalum cap based on pictures, though some may have used electrolytics. Anyway, does anyone happen to know the value? :unsure:

Oh, it was the socket I used. It was a bit mangled (my fault). Put a new one in and everything works fine now, though it may have been one of the solder joints on one of the pots, but I reflowed all of those as well.

Boom, fixed! Changed the socket. Tried two TL074CN's and the other made that old tv static noise. Put the old one in and went back to the old problem. So, I took my time and reflowed everything and now it's fine. It may have been one of the pots. Had to use those solder lugs ones instead of the...

Ooh, you know what? There's a chunk messed up on the socket for the TL074. I'll replace it and check for any other socket malfunctions. Thanks for the tip! Pictures to follow (in a couple days, haha).

Just what the title says. The mix knob mixes between the effect and no signal. Other than checking the wiring again or replacing the mix pot (which I might try on my next day off) I'm not entirely sure what to do or where to check. Bypass works fine. Effect works fine. Just no dry signal when...

Heh, one of the big caps wasn't quite soldered all the way. Everything sounds like the late 70's to mid 80's now. (y)

Hey everyone! Built quite a few pedals, but this is my first time on the board. Not sure if this should be one Troubleshooting or Mod board, but here goes: Built the Pineapple. Sounds great for the most part, but the low strings would flub out the sound almost like a fuzz. I threw my Isosceles...
