Finally finished my first build! Very satisfying and excited to learn more about all of this. I built up the carbon black fuzz PCB. Tested it on the auditorium platform and all was fine. I wired it up in housing and have a few problems I’m trying to troubleshoot. I learned a lot in this process. Like not to solder the pots on before you’re sure it’s all working….
The issues:
-Fuzz has a high pitch tone when I turn the pot to 100%. I originally thought this was only while the effect was active but it’s also there during bypass if I crank my amp volume way up. I tried to read up on different forums and I’m not sure if it’s something in my wiring or just something that happens with this style fuzz.
-LED doesn’t work when pedal is active. I had it wired to the board originally but since it’s a pre-housed LED from Love my switches I wired it to their daughterboard as per their site.
Appreciate the help with this!
