After I originally boxed it up, I just tested to see if the LEDs worked with an underpowered 9VAC adaptor laying around until my 2000ma 9vac power supply came in. When I plugged it in I had a couple of issues. 1. No sound when pedal is engaged (bypass works fine) 2. bypass LED stays on (wired...

Same, paragon mini ftw

welp. My AC power came in, and im getting no sound while engaged, but im getting bypass. UGHHHH Im going to be troubleshooting this behemoth when i get some free time.

not me! only my enclosure looks good, im running into issues with my L5 preamp build :(

Im building a board for specifically recording into my interface. So that board is set up like this Benson pre>L5 pre>Unicab>Switcher into headphone amp (looking for options at the moment) and the other switch to my recording interface

This is my absolute favorite chorus. But i will never build another double decker again. (That is after my sagan delay from carcharias) The header pins that most double decker build utilize are so flimsy. I know there are other options out there but the little working space makes it pretty...

Thanks! I mainly changed the colors because i forgot to label channel 1 & 2

So I’ve finally boxed up this build and cannot be happier. It really wasn’t that tough. The only thing that was concerning was the lack of a ground to the output, but i guess its fine. Does anyone have a recommendation for a power adapter for this? I used my friends ac adaptor but it’s only...

Deeper than the original one i built. It also goes slower. I still want to mess with the trimmers more to dial it in. I’ll A/B test it when I get some free time.

This was my first double decker build and it does not disappoint. I am shocked at the size and sound this pedal pushes. I did run into a couple of issues with parts. Firstly, the electrolytics were a bit confusing, mouser lists length and height, and you really have to dig into data sheets for...

Man… i just can’t wait so i just measured and stripped 7mm wires.. Wish me luck

I used the header pins recommended in other threads but the clearance is too much, am i doing something wrong it did i get the wrong parts?

Perfect thank you!

Thank you for your response! This answers my question and follow up question.

I’m about done with building the board but i goofed on the 7 pin. I accidentally soldered on the wrong side, so i had to desolder it and might have possibly damaged it. Is there supposed to be continuity on power pin 1 and power pin 4?

It was a super tight fit but yes i think I’ll just sell the polished one

Your soldering job looks good overall but I see a flux blob or a bridge at the diodes on the right. I’m going to guess your backside is clean and there are no obvious bridges or cold joints. Test out the leds with your multimeter and test if the led lights are properly anode/cathode. If that...

At+ sounds marshally Brown betty (sounds like brown sound) Benson pre sounds voxy (as far as big 4 goes) Viceroy boneyard (sounds orangy) All played through a Deluxe and Princeton. Obviously this is all just my opinion and imo your playing will outshine any tone you are going for.

Obviously no one needs 2 king of tones. Both have the same components and both sound pretty identical. I can’t decide whether to keep the big one or the small one. The small one does have better stomp switches (the super expensive soft switch from demont) but they are closer together. If...

Thank you! I made them in photoshop/inkscape. I did the sunnyscopa film free method.
