SOLVED Calamity calamity

[Mentaltossflycoon]

So... I built the calamity fuzz with some questionably sourced j201s, I now forget where I got them. It sounded great until the other night I was playing my bass through a meatbox into a hogsfoot into a chopshop (pedalpcb smd j201 went in this one and it sounds fantastic) then the calamity. Sounded amazing for 10 minutes and then suddenly it sounds like trash. Can you blast a fuzz with low end to death or is it just funny timing? I didn't think that was possible. There's now very little gain or output.

Is there a possibility that something shook loose from a socket?

I made this one early on in my journey so it's free of sockets. Earlier today, I went through and rewet all the non heat sensitive joints with no results.

Any chance you could have given it the wrong voltage power supply? We would need to see pictures of the board/wiring and solder side of the board to be able to offer anymore.

 

[Mentaltossflycoon]

No, using a gigrig, pretty hard to confuse them. I never unplug my radial bassbone or H.O.G. so that's pretty unlikely. I can take some pictures later tonight.

 

[Mentaltossflycoon]

It's definitely a non isolated line straight from the gigrig distributor, though I don't see how that could be an issue. Noise perhaps but not destruction but my knowledge is admittedly... quite limited.

I gutted it to take pictures and decided to freshen up the wires to the DC jack since I had to desolder it anyway. Works now, sounds awesome. Must have had some slop. Anyway, thanks folks I appreciate the support!
