I’m relatively new to pedal troubleshooting, but learning lots with each build (I’m 6 pedals in). My low tide modulator isn’t giving me any sound when its engaged. I’m running it though a test box (in/out/power, switch) that I know is working. I started following along with the schematic and an...

I just started troubleshooting a build and was trying to test the values of the components that were soldered (starting with the resistors). I’ve tested about 20 resistors so far, and there’s about 7 that are giving me a different resistance reading then what they’re supposed to be. There’s a...

Just finished my Low Tide build, which isn't working for me when activated. Looking for advice on where to go next with troubleshooting. Here's some details: I'm testing the PCB currently through a test rig that I know works (rig has in jack, out jack, 9V power, and footswitch) I'm connecting...

In the spirit of rock it before you box it, I built a breakout test box with in/out/power/ground connections to test my pedal builds. I just finished this low tide pedal build, and am scratching my head with which wires to connect to my test box to from the PCB. Thanks in advance. PS - And...

Just finishing up my low tide build and wondering if I have the right components for J201 and 2SK208 before I install them. The ones I bought are traditional 3 prong transistors, but on the PCB there appears to be traces with both (along with the dotted line on the PCB). Any ideas?

I'm about to embark on the Low Tide Modulator build. Any words of wisdom or considerations before jumping in?

Hi. I just finished my 3rd Abyss build. When I plug it in and engage the switch, the strobe lights up and the LED works, but the sound is more like a tremelo pedal vs a Univibe. This is before it’s been boxed. Here’s a clip Any ideas?

So I just built my first test box, but since I’ve been having problems with the effect that I’ve been working on, I’m not entirely sure how to gauge if 1) I’m connecting it to the effect properly and 2) if the test box I made is working. 🤦🏻‍♂️ 1) I tried connecting the test box to the effect...

Hi All. I'm building my second Abyss pedal build and am running into some issues, which I can't seem to resolve. Here's where I'm at: - I'm getting signal in bypass, but no sound when switch is engaged - Front LED light works when pedal is engaged - I swapped the switch and rewired that...
