if youd like! the buzzing never fully went away though i did abandon fixing it and just treat it as a feature.

I was never able to completely remove the buzzing but a few things ended up making it hardly noticeable, one was to replace all internal wires with shielded wires, swap all the electrolytics in the signal path with tantalums , and the last was replace r9 and r18 with trim pots. I am not sure...

yeah haha dont worry I checked and put them in the right way. I went back to the 2SK30 though since the distortion issue was still present. Saving those 5457s for another build.

I did, however I swapped them with 2N5457's and had the same result. Fun fact though it did boost the octave levels a bit having the 2N5457 in

haha sorry been a super busy week, one pedal was posted up top but my other pedal looks like its getting a different reading on G of Q3 These are with nothing plugged in or out and all knobs set to full off. Q2 Q3 S- 4.92v S- 4.92v G- 0v G- 4.31v D- 4.92v D- 4.92v

I measured them using this cheapo transistor tester but forgot to write them down yep confirmed on both builds. I ordered some higher quality audio caps from mouser. I am thinking these tayda ones are more often than not giving me issues. I didnt hear any noise in vref with the audio probe but...

The Additional info tab shows the thickness as 1.6mm which is pretty normal. Have you measured it with some calipers?

Looks like the c8 might just be a high pass and r20 could be for bias, most likely it was removed since we are using a different transistor in the pedalpcb schematic. I did a little more digging around with an audio probe and found ic1 very noising coming out of pin 1 changed a few tl072s out...

yep! that description is absolutely spot on! I couldn't figure out how to add a quick demo of the pedal so I added an .mp3 here of the sound received from this pedal. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hJ8QfA3Rr9S4eC65q3JfH2dTJP1JD9Et/view?usp=sharing)

Hello, Having an issue after building two Ocelot pedals, The octaves are working 100% however there is a subtle fuzz/distorted signal coming through that is driving me mad. This distorted signal only comes through while the pedal is on and when I play notes. It happens with both just clean...

replaced the caps with nichicon and we are solid! thank you! it was one of the 10u caps btw. spoke too soon, it lets audio through now but still clicking. guess ill continue to troubleshoot.

Just wondering if this was ever figured out. having this exact same issue on 1 of the 3 paragon builds I did.

Thanks for all the good info in here, I was having a similar issue and found the problem with the help from this thread. After I realized I wired the out cables wrong (didn't cris-cross them) I had to clean and reflow the pins to the secondary board. I cleaned the main board really well but was...
