    XC Phase normal behavior?

    It has something to do with trimpot adjustment. I also had the same experienced hearing that compressed sound (somewhat overdriven) sound. Tune by ear, back it off a bit (counter clockwise) while listening back and forth between the bypass sound and while it is on. I suggest use the single coil...

    XC phase questions

    It could be an issue with your transistors pin orientation. On the XC phase I built, I noticed also what you mentioned here. But since I used transistor socket for those transistors so I could experiment. Initially I used 2N5458, then 2N5457. They had different response and orientation also. I...

    XC Phase trimpot

    Well for sure having a reference voltage would get to the ballpark of what the phase should be. But since I didn't measure the voltage, I just used my ear. Even my friend was impressed by it. Together with the CE2 that i built also for him, he will use the phaser on his vintage Fender rhodes

    XC Phase trimpot

    I tuned it by ear. I just tossed listening between listening the bypass and while effect is on. And so far what I heard was impressive. I can hear the quality clean tone of my Dimarzio pickups while blending with the the phasing. I thought, you will get somewhat and non effecting sound until you...

    XC Phase trimpot

    I bought recently from stompboxparts.com. Sadly, since I built an Xphase for a friend, I got 4 only. After hearing the pedal with the 2N5952 in comparison with 2N5457, I felt guilty. I should have bought more =(. Stompbox sell the 2n5952 for 4$ for 2pcs. Now it is out of stock and some seller...

    Dark Rift Delay issue

    I checked the legs of the op amp meant for 833 and they are seated well. Actually i used NE5532P, but i tried also an LM833 the one used on my Angry Andy plus and it was working. I believed the LM833 and TL072 are op amp that give the sound to the circuit. Even without the PT2399 the circuit...

    Dark Rift Delay issue

    Hi @homebrewtj, thank you for your reply. I was sure i used 1nf on C8 during the building of the project. i can get very good audio sound in effect position except that there is no delay sound coming out. I tested the PT2239 that i used on my other project (sea horse, the one on the right...

    Dark Rift Delay issue

    I built 6 pedal pcb projects this last two weeks, including the EQD sea horse, which sounds great. However, I was unsuccessful with the darkrift delay. It powered on and there was full nice clear sound in effect position, however, there is no delay sound. I checked all my pots and it seemed...

    Gravitation Reverb

    Nice built. I am about to finish mine. How did you install the reverb chip from the reverse side of the pcb, is the reverb chip's label facing towards the 9v dc or towards the footswitch? Thank you in advance for answering!🙂

    Has anyone built the Seyfoam Overdrive?

    I built one and it has been on my pedal board ever since replacing a DIY TS808. I prefer this over the TS because of the EQ. I tried to use the intended chip MC33178 which I bought from China, I didn't like it. Maybe because it is a fake copy of the original MC chip. It sounded good with NE5532...

    Jumper setting on Cephaid Chorus

    I got it. I saw one builder how he jumpered it. I did the same but jumpered the one for 3007 two pair of strips and now it is working. Thank you. 😀

    Jumper setting on Cephaid Chorus

    I am building a Cephaid Chorus for a friend. I am just confused on how the jumpering works. On the 3207 side there are two pairs of strips and another two pairs on 3007. Actually i even took attention to that i should made the jumpering before installing the ic sockets. But i i can find way how...

    Amazing Dirty Sanchez

    i used spray cans. I applied two coats of dark primer gray, then putting two coats of blue color. After two minutes while the paint is still wet, i sprayed the red on top of the blue. The red will appear bit darker as it blends with the blue. I let it dry for 30 mins then splatter it with blue...

    Stratoblaster Kit

    I got my stratoblaster pcb from Tayda and it makes my Fender HSS strat sounds punchy, clean and gives me nice modern quack on position 2 and 4. The quack because of the Stratoblaster reminisces to me the sound of Dan Huff's 80's clean. Chaining it with chorus, detune/harmonizer and delay I can...

    Amazing Dirty Sanchez

    Of all the dirt Pedal PCB pedals i built successfully (Angry Charles, Angry Andy Plus, Thermionic distortion, Complex overdrive) this is by far the best distortion to my ear. It has a clear definition, can be crunchy to heavy, smooth mids. Also, i noticed it is dynamic with guitar volume roll...

    My First Two Pedals Build from PedalPCB

    The squealing happened when I tested the circuit bare (not yet on casing) while the gain was max and the boost was on. But the moment I housed it on casing, it is quiet even when the boost is at 3 o'clock which is too much boost to my ears. There is still typical noise when the gain is at max...
