    Potentiometer value change calculation - SOLVED

    It did! Just breadboarded things up and it works great! I actually tried a bunch of values and decided I liked the sweep best with 470ohm and 22nf. @jwin615 what would the sweep freqs be for those values? Also, as a mod I added a pot to ground before R17 so you can blend in the filter if you...

    Potentiometer value change calculation - SOLVED

    Any of you smart people know if this C50K tone pot could be replaced with a 10K pot in this circuit and still keep the same sweep, by adjusting the component values around it? Or would it not work or be more work than it's worth? The reason is I'd like to add in a 10K expression pedal input so...

    Modified CE-2 Chorus Not Chorusing

    So I redid the whole board layout and ordered another proto in and it has the same problem :( I can hear the subtle swooshing of the LFO when I turn up the blend and the rate and depth, I think that section is working correctly. I did another trace of the audio using my audio trace and found...

    Modified CE-2 Chorus Not Chorusing

    Thanks for taking the time to review everything. I appreciate it. That's wild that JLC can install the incorrect values or wrong orientation - never thought to question it. In this case, I went through and checked C13/D5/D6 and they are oriented correctly. I went through all the LFO section and...

    Modified CE-2 Chorus Not Chorusing

    Hi all! First off, this is my personal build and not a PPCB project. If that is not allowed here let me know! I am really stumped on this one. I designed my own layout and circuit board and it has been assembled with SMD components by JLC so I am confident that the component values are correct...

    Yup, I should have known better instead of trying to save a few bucks. Thanks for all the help. I will update this thread when the new IC comes in from Small Bear to see if that was the issue here.

    https://www.ebay.ca/itm/201401342602 I looked at the "100% Genuine" in the title and the good feedback from the seller and took a chance on it.

    The display goes down to 000 when you touch the leads together in the diode setting, similar to the resistance settings. I checked the scratched copper against the pad and no short. I just ordered another IC from a reputable company to try, this time a CA3080e for $7. The CA3080ez I have in...

    I have this DMM, any idea if it can detect shorts?

    There is 9.8K ohm resistance between the circled C pad and the tiny bit of scratched copper next to it. Reflowing the other circled pad didn't help

    Nope, just checked. Even took it out of the enclosure to check and still nothing..

    Thanks for the reply. 1. Yup, I double checked the caps, all correct! 2. Yup, I didn't have a 92K on hand so I put two 47Ks in series.

    Howdy. I’m getting no effected signal on this Byrdhouse/Janglebox build. Bypass works, LED works. I used a CA3080EZ in place of the NTE996. I don’t have any others on hand to swap in to see if it’s IC. Audio probed I have guitar signal at pin 2 and 3 input. No signal at pins 5 and 6 output...
