    Aion Elysium thumping noise

    I sent them an email, will let you know what reply I get, this is a definitive proof they should pull these from sale as defective stock at least.

    Aion Elysium thumping noise

    Aaaand you were right, I used the IC bought from Aion and it works perfectly. I will message Banzai but would not hope for much, will definitely stay away from their stock and I advise the same to you Guys. Weird how a rather large retailer would stock fakes without shame and price them for what...

    Aion Elysium thumping noise

    Fair point, I have never had issues with the IC's I was sourcing from them (including some of the difficult to get ones like XR2206CP) but who knows. I just got a package from Aion with some PCBs, I got one of their M68315AP to be sure I am testing on a genuine one. Will see how it looks.

    Aion FX Neurotron carrier signal bleed

    From my own build I can tell you will not find a trimpot position where the bleed goes away 100%. It's kind of like calibrating a BBD for lowest noise floor possible. Well done!

    Aion Elysium thumping noise

    Yes, I verified all transistors (have not pulled them out of the board to test but right parts are in the right positions). In terms of CMOS inverter - I was careful and just to test I replaced it with another one I have (bought a couple when I was ordering them from Mouser). I have the same...

    Aion Elysium thumping noise

    Thank you for the suggestions. Following your points: - Pinout for the Vreg is the same and I am getting 5V out of it. Just to make sure it's not causing any issues I replaced it but it did not make any change. - Pics + a short video showing the issue attached - I got the chip from...

    Aion Elysium thumping noise

    Hi All, I just finished building the Aion Elysium (Ibanez EM5 Echomachine clone) and have an issue with the pedal having some thumping noise which starts to self oscillate with feedback turned up. This happens even with guitar not plugged in which means the noise gets generated someplace in the...

    SOLVED Aion Xenotron / Lovetone Flange no BBD modulation

    I second that, I spent more time looking into schematics of this flanger than all other build schematics combined. I need to build the Cheese Source and Brown Source, other than than got the lot as well

    SOLVED Aion Xenotron / Lovetone Flange no BBD modulation

    Short update - I swapped the ultrabright LED I had installed originally for another clear one with much closer spec to Aion's recommendation and the pedal works perfectly. For anyone reading this far into the thread - mind your LED specs when not buying a full Aion kit! I was an idiot to pick a...

    SOLVED Aion Xenotron / Lovetone Flange no BBD modulation

    I needed to take a break from this one and built the Ring Stinger which was another intimidating Aion board that was waiting it's turn. Turned out perfect, no issues whatsover :) Freakish yet very musical pedal. I plan to come back to the flanger once I get correct clear LED for BBD board -...

    SOLVED Aion Xenotron / Lovetone Flange no BBD modulation

    We'll get to the bottom of it. I am 100% all wiring is done per the build docs and there are no shorts so it must be something else that is messing with the mix. I need to check how does the time out jack switch off modulations from space out when you use both in stereo - it seems the switching...

    SOLVED Aion Xenotron / Lovetone Flange no BBD modulation

    I think I just hit a breakthrough - I decided to box the pedal back and spend more time testing it in various settings seeing all components are good - through Time out and Space out separately. First thing I noticed - when I crank Manual all the way I managed to get some modulated settings...

    SOLVED Aion Xenotron / Lovetone Flange no BBD modulation

    It's just a bunch of random issues we've caused. Regarding what you said abt LED1 & 2 - LED1 should stay on, LED2 turns on and starts pulsing as soon as you engage Space switch. LED3 turns on when you hit Time switch but should not pulse. LED4 on the sub board will stay on irrespective of main...

    SOLVED Aion Xenotron / Lovetone Flange no BBD modulation

    Make yourself at home, I guess this project might make a community of people traumatized by the Lovetone Flanger build

    SOLVED Aion Xenotron / Lovetone Flange no BBD modulation

    Double check on the Ring Lift switch when playing around with it, see below note on this in the build docs: Ring Lift (toggle switch) disconnects the ring (middle) terminal of the Time jack, which is equivalent to the “C” solution in the user manual under the “Time Out” heading without...

    SOLVED Aion Xenotron / Lovetone Flange no BBD modulation

    Thanks man, I really appreciate your advice and support on this - I am no good in this part of troubleshooting, never had the chance to go this far :) I was inserting signal from the input end rather than jumping the output path hoping I can skip the part it gets to the BBD board - and somehow...
