    BBW Pedal Build

    Here is the final update: pedal works, and as you can see, I am sticking with the color scheme of the BBE Sonic Stomp but less emphasis on the red. All in all, this was the smoothest build yet! Everything went together fairly quick, but there wasn't a lot of parts either. Gonna have to take a...

    BBW Pedal Build

    Here are some more photos of the board... this time practically fully populated! You can also see what a difference 91% RA does to the back side of a board to clean off all the flux! I am excited to get this pedal up and running!

    BBW Pedal Build

    Project update: I don't get much time to sit down and solder parts on the board, but man, if you follow the following post your board can end up this sexy too! https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/basic-workflow-tips-for-building-a-pedalpcb.1165/

    BBW Pedal Build

    Hey all, here is the beginning of the BBW based on the BBE Sonic Stomp. I am going to stick with the Red/White theme so I know which pedal is which on my board. I already have this pedal but want to decrease the footprint that it takes up on my board and also, what's 1 more pedal!?!? I am in...

    Circuitry Design

    Now comes the PAINSTAKING task of rearranging the PCB on DipTrace to make it as compact as possible... I feel like I am in college all over again! LOL

    Circuitry Design

    I have found some circuits online that I want to try and create a more professional looking PCB for. My question, what PCB Schematic builder do people use, and what program has proven to be the easiest when designing these circuits? I used the Digikey online "Scheme It" tool and created the...

    Here is what I am hearing... I have another clip I want to upload that might be the cause if this isn't normal.

    Ocelot Octave: No Sound

    SO... I changed R26 to a 5.6k Ohm Resistor and it WORKS!!! Next question, is this pedal really supposed to be THIS glitchy!? I will try to upload an audio clip next...

    Ocelot Octave: No Sound

    What would happen if I put a 5.6k Ohm resistor at R26? Just curious...

    Ocelot Octave: No Sound

    Alright, I replaced R2 with a new 1M Ohm resistor but R26 has a 1M Ohm Resistor in it... what exactly is this specific resistor used for? Would either a 5.6k Ohm resistor or 22k Ohm resistor work in this spot? That is all I have on hand at the moment. I will order 10k Ohm if needed.

    Ocelot Octave: No Sound

    Everything passed with flying colors for this test... now off to continue to check the other resistors around the IC1 and Direct pot

    Ocelot Octave: No Sound

    EDIT: Now the LED works... the (+) lead of the power came undone... resoldered and now the LED works with the switch.

    Ocelot Octave: No Sound

    Okay, for IC5, here are the readings WITHOUT the IC in the socket: Pin 1: ~5v Pin 2: ~5v Pin 3: ~5v Pin 4: 0v Pin 5: ~5v Pin 6: ~5v Pin 7: Variable voltage from 4v - 6v Pin 8: ~9v Here are the readings when I swap IC1 and IC5: IC1 IC5 Pin 1: ~5v Pin 1: ~3v Pin 2: ~5v Pin 2: ~5v Pin 3...

    Ocelot Octave: No Sound

    Here's a possible point of concern: IC5 only reads ~3v on pin 1 where all of the other TL072 read ~5v on pin 1. Pins 2 & 3 all read ~5v on the TL072's. Also on IC5, Pin 7 reads about 6v. Pins 5 & 6 on IC1 - 5 all read ~ 5v and Pin 7 of IC1 - 4 reads ~5v. Pin 8 on IC1 - 5 reads the intended ~9v.

    Ocelot Octave: No Sound

    I was testing them weirdly last night... but with my multimeter grounded to the case of the pedal, pin 4 shows 0v on all TL072's. Not sure if it matters, but it looks like all the TL072 ar TL072CP... I got them from Tayda.

    Ocelot Octave: No Sound

    Here is the backside for reference... I am completely dumbfounded as to what is wrong. I found out I did install the IC's correctly... I will try to get voltage readings of some major components and post those later. Does using 1/8w resistors instead of 1/4w resistors make any difference? My...

    Ocelot Octave: No Sound

    I just finished building an Ocelot Octave and there is no sound coming from the effect. The bypass works great and the LED comes on when pressed but that's about as far as I get. On this pedal, the build does call for 1/4w resistors instead of 1/8w resistors... would this make that much of a...

    PedalPCB Ocelot Octave

    I just flush cut it to the board so it makes soldering other components a little easier? IDK, personal preference I guess.
