Hi. No, I gave up. I spent too much time trouble shooting it. I ended up getting a second one. It works great and I really didn‘t do anything different than with the first one. Very strange.

I’m still troubleshooting the thing and my head is about to explode lol I was moving around the board while strumming the guitar with the other hand and I did find out that when I put my thumb around the circled area on the pic, the “vibe effect” comes in and the pedal sounds like it’s supposed...

How could I test for faulty parts? For example a bad transistor. I will also remove all the transistor sockets and solder the transistors directly on the PCB to make sure there are no bad connections. I've been looking at the schematic trying to figure out where the issue could be...I...

Yes. Only issue is that there's no audible "vibe" effect and there's only sound when the switch is on vibrato position. No sound on the chorus side

Thanks a lot for the advice! I will definitely re-check all the joints. You're right...that one leg of Q4 doesn't look that good...I've also got a quite big amazon order coming my way with "soldering stuff", so I hope my workflow in that matter will improve. I think the flickering lamp issue...

Here are a few pics (don‘t mind the solder blob on the speed switch)

I did, thanks. I will upload some pics tomorrow.

Hi there, I tried to bump an old thread earlier today but now I'll try to ask a more detailed question. So, I just finished my Electrovibe and I've double checked every solder joint so far. I have bypass signal. The issue is, the lamp isn't pulsing. It's static. The two trimmers work just fine...

Hi, I’m bumping this old thread because I just finished my Electrovibe but the bulb won’t pulse…it’s static. Gain and bias trimmers work just fine as the lamp gets brighter and dimmer as I tweak them. Have you guys any idea of what could be the issue? Thx

Yes I have swapped them. But I get exactly the same result. Well, my pots were all MAXED UP 🤣…that’s why it was loud. But now the issue is that the bass pot behaves kinda like a gain pot…the more bass you add, the more distorted the sound. When bass is at max it‘s almost like fuzz, and I think...

Holy sh… thank you! I actually flipped it once because I thought that could be the issue…but aparently I did something wrong and it didn‘t work anyways. But I just flipped it again right now and it actually worked! Only thing is that it was crazy loud…huge amount of gain. Does that mean the...

Hello again, so…my Powder Blue arrived yesterday. I‘ve been trouble shooting the thing for a few hours now and I can‘t get behind the problem. I‘ve double checked the solder points and everything seems to be ok. Switch is wired correctly as I got sound coming thru when bypassed. The only thing...

Thank you very much! I haven‘t had any problems sourcing the 120uf Electrolytics but the 1u5 caps…I‘ve just bought some normal ceramic caps as I couldn‘t find those as box shaped caps…hope it will work correctly, as the values are right.

Hi everyone. Anybody knows what number is missing at the ending of the diode at the very top? 1N581(X) Or is that number not relevant? As far as I know, the only difference between 1N5817, 1N5818 and 1N5819 is the voltage peak.

Hi guys, my powder blue pcb is on its way but there aren't any build docs available yet. So my question for those who already built one is: where did you get the values or build docs? Would it be asking too much if I asked if you could share some parts list or so? Thx!
