I build 3 of these and they all have the same issue ( I guess its an issue). Unity gain is about 3 o'clock on the volume dial. I build a "Dizzy" SOK replica and it had a ton of gain...these have barely a boost over unity. Is it possibly a component error on the build doc? Thanks....I'll...

I built two and had the same problem....Probably my fault, but I haven't found it yet...I moved on and have a few to return to

Hi, Please upload a Tayda Drill template for the Trumpeter. I built several of these and screwed up the drilling more than once. I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!

Its a nice pedal, I sold it to my friend and he really likes it. @PedalPCB mentioned putting out a pcb with both, so I was holding out to make another one for myself.

I was getting through hole 2n5457 from mouser, but they're out....Tayda out too.

Bumping this for some help please!

Hey, I just built a PP Fuzz with the treble and bass that sounds great. I also built this one with the nature knob. It makes a really weird feedback noise by rotating the nature knob with higher fuzz settings. The sound goes away when you roll the fuzz back. This doesn't happen with the...

It's my Ojai. The main strymon Zuma is not possessed! It also does this with my aion odr and a phase 90 clone too. Strymon is aware, but silent about the issue.

Its a Strymon Zuma powering the Ojai extension to the pedals

So, I've built a couple of the Aion Andromeda's before and one of those also had this possessed sound. I just finished a Nobleman and a Pro-10 Green - and they both have this possessed power supply sound. However, whenever I kick on another pedal (Tweedman in this case), the noise stops.

I made sure all pots are grounded well and touching the enclosure, but it still has the same noise and microphonics that they other I built does. Here is a short video:

Thanks Chuck! I did see a little "tit" sticking up and potentially touching the dual gang pot. I plugged it back in, I can't remember if this happened before, but with the pedal back in the enclosure, when I touch the dual gang pot's shaft, I get a buzzy sound...The big electrolytic is not...

I'm using a Hakko at around 750F

Sorry for the delay and thanks for the help. Here are the pics!

The PS is a Strymon Zuma with an OJai extension. The other pedals seem fine with it. It was in the enclosure. Thanks

I tried to fix these again, but no luck. Does anyone else have background noise with the Benson?

Actually, everything seems microphonic - resistors, caps, etc.

After fooling with it a bit more and reflowing some solder, the 100nF input cap and some others also seem microphonic. You can lightly flick them and here a thump thru the amp

Hi, I just built my second Benson Preamp and it has the same problem as the first. It has a noisy background (just high noise floor - nothing crazy). When I touch the Q2 J201 (which is a SMT mounted one from PedalPCB), you can clearly hear my touching it like a microphonic preamp tube. Any...
