Hello, I have been trying to build a Minnow. My first attempt had a few issues, so I started over with a new PCB. One of the issues was that the +8 and -8 were reading +9 and -9. On this new board I decided to start by just populating the power section, and I still have the same problem. What...

Can someone explain/teach me why the buffer for the second opamp is just hanging out in space like this. Does it just mean that the pins are not used? Thanks!

Q: Why the hell does the voltage from my power supply read 9.48v, but when I plug it into the pedal it drops to 7.98v??? A: The reverse polarity protection diode is probably backward. Just wanted to document this for any future travelers. Spent a good hour troubleshooting this. I have a large...

Are they 3mm or 5mm?

is the TC7662BC interchangeable with the 1044 charge pumps? Thanks!

Is that the correct value, and if so, why is the space for it on the PCB so big?

Confused on this. The picture shows a dual gang pot on the board, the build doc does not. Which is right?

What is the order of the pots in respect to what they do? Which pot does which function?

It would be cool if the documentation for PCBs here that have trimpots would make note of what they are for and what to look/listen for when adjusting.

Hello all, I started building my ProtoBoard last night, and I have a couple of questions: 1. I've seen a couple pictures where people are using wires with a jumper connection on one end and a pin for the breadboard on the other end to provide power to the breadboard. Where can I find these...

Hello, Other than minding the pin outs, is there a particular reason that one is better than the other in the Depot Fuzz? Thanks!

I’ve built the Conqueror a number of times now. Having an issue with latest version of the pcb. I’ve done a little probing around. I’m getting signal from the transistors, but nothing from the switch poles, which leads me to suspect the transformer. I’m using 42TM013, and the layout has changed...

Hello, I finished up with the Muffin Fuzz Foxey Lady version last night. Getting howling/squealing if either the volume or gain is turned up past 3 o'clock. Is this likely to be transistors with gain too high? I've rechecked all the parts are correct, and it sounds amazing if I keep the pots...

The trim on Q2 collector, can someone tell me what voltage this should be biased to? Thanks!

Greetings, Just finished this pedal and I have silence on the right hand side of the blend knob which means no effect. Is there a schematic?

Hi all, Can someone give me a link to where I can get the correct expression jack for the Leprechaun? This is my first project with an expression jack, and I've already ordered the wrong thing twice. Thanks!

What is the trim pot adjusting and what value should we setting it to? Thanks!

Did I do this right? The left footswitch under the mid selector is controlling distortion and the right footswitch under the gain knob is controlling the mid boost? Seems backwards?

I'm too excited for this to wait for the doc! Is the 270p cap supposed to be film? The lowest voltage Mouser carries is 1kV :oops: Am I searching wrong? I think your layouts are pretty standardized, so I'm guessing I could use any similarly laid out 4 pot project for the drilling template...

Hey, Just finished the Starboard Fuzz (Mosrite FUZZrite). It seems like the fuzz control is functioning in reverse. 100% Clockwise the fuzz is kinda quiet - 100% counterclockwise and it seems much more intense. Is this normal for this circuit, or do I have some other weird problem? Thanks!
