Bwahaha !! Well I appreciate it buddy, you and Music for the WIN !! Pedal is working beautifully... guess I should have known it was something like that since my first pedal worked right out the gate, and this one worked just fine with the exception of the signal drop.. I can believe I mixed an...

Son of a bitch !!! How the hell did I miss that !!! That’s probably exactly what it is !!! Well done !! I’m a ding dong, I can’t believe that.. how the hell did I mess that one up 🤦‍♂️ I’ll pull it and do a swap right now, dollars to donuts it’s the issue.. it’s most likely a 100nf 🤦‍♂️ Wow... I...

Ok so I just probed 23 and it’s loud through the top pin, and louder through the bottom.. going to IC3 pin 7 I could barely hear anything as if it was running directly through the cables as usual.. so not sure if that helps, but it cancels out that possibility, on to the next idea ??

Okie dokie, I just got on, I’ve been busy today so I haven’t had a chance to mess with anything, but I’ll get everything setup right now and use my looper to run the audio probe and see what I can get figured out buddy. Thank you for your help with this, I’ll report the results when I am...

yea they work just fine, they glow and pulse depending one how much sound goes through them, and they work in unison.. I just realized I forgot to post the pics of the underside so here they are. I tried 3 different angles so hopefully the reflections aren’t too bad.. I’ve already gone through...

Ok I’m not entirely sure how you meant to do this so I did, ground (enclosure) + 1 = no reading, ground + 2 = 8.7 , ground +3 = 49.3 , pins 3+2 = 40 , pins 1+3 = 48 , pins 1+2 = 9.1 Hopefully that covers all variation of ways to read it.. since it’s assembled in the enclosure right now, I...

Oooppppsss , well at least you understood it I guess.. gotta remember for next time, I literally just learned how to identify those pins the other night when you asked me to check certain pins, I just got mixed up 😕 So I’m guessing beyond that, voltages were fine ?? I went back through like you...

Ok, so I went through and double checked all my resistor values since I talked to you this morning, and everything is good. Here is a photo of all the voltage values on the IC chips, hopefully you can read it all, for the most part the values seem within tolerance, but you would know better then...

I will get that taken care of today, it’s 4am and I’m about to go to sleep, have to be up in like 4 hours :-/ but I’ll play the swap game again with my ICs and then shoot over the voltages for them, you want voltage on pins 1-8 for all 4 IC correct ? I believe I mentioned what they were when I...

Also I think it was just the lighting of the photo, because R32 looked just find from the bottom, and though it didn’t flow through causing the bead on top of the board, I didn’t think that was necessary for a good joint, but I guess I could be wrong.. obviously I’m not perfect by any means and...

Nope, didn’t solve a thing.. it was soldered just fine on the bottom side, but just to be sure I reflowed it, and nothing, still having the same issue... I have no idea what to do now.. I’m just gonna go through and reflow everything tomorrow even if it doesn’t need it I guess and hope for the...

Also, when I said touched the gain pot, I meant with the audio probe, not physically.. I just realized what you meant and why it seemed like it might be a cold joint.

I’ll try, but I’m getting the same output from both the top and bottom of the solder joint, like off the actual pot and the bottom side of the joint, so I’m pretty sure that’s not it. I can post a pic of all my solder joints but I can pretty much guarantee that’s not the issue, they all looks...

Yes they are, the left sounds like the tone is at its lowest, the right at its highest, and the center is just a straight mix, but all the same volume except for the gain pot obviously. The volume pot responds to being turned up and down, as well as the gain pot, just as they should.

Yea. With the exception of the volume being so low when it comes out, I can adjust the tone and it makes changes like it should... see why I’m so confused on this whole thing, it’s just throwing me all off..

UUUGGGHHH !!! I feel like I’m right there and I just can’t figure out how to fix it, this is driving me crazy !! Calling it quits for another night :-/ Hopefully tomorrow someone will be able to give me some insight on what might be going on.. I checked all my solder joints under my pots, I was...

Also, R24 is loud on one side of the component and quiet on the other (if it matters, top is louder, bottom sounds like my main single problem noise, so that’s the first resistor that is different on each side following the schematic.. then R23 is louder on one side as well, but both are still...

Ok so got the audio probe figured out... now I tested my ic chips, 2 gets really loud as Chuck said, I don’t know if IC chip 4 is supposed to put any audio out but it is not... I went to the output, got the same low noise I was getting before.. now when I went from IC 3 pin 3 to R22 the sound...

I went through and did that last night with a fine tooth comb, that’s one commonality I noticed when researching on here before I even got my pedals. I was concerned it was an incorrect pot value last night so I doubled checked that and it was all fine. So I think the audio probe is what I’m...

Oh and one more thing, just in case it happens to be the IC chips that might be bad, I have a full set of JRC4558 chips that I read are swappable for the ICs in the Tyrian pedal, and they are supposed to be for higher gain, where the TL chips in the Tyrian are for Mid gain (now I could have read...
