SOLVED Need some ears to help me with a client’s concern about some ‘fizzle’

[KR Sound]

I built a Dane and a circuit that’s basically the Lightspeed side and he’s concerned about this fizzle sound that I can barely hear.

Right at 10 seconds and 28 seconds he says.

He just sent it back to me so I’m going to see if I can reproduce this ‘sound’, but is this a bit much or what? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Based on what has happened so far, the next step is to get Mr. Wampler in this thread.

In the clip Nostradoomus found (post#29), as pointed out the fizzle can still be heard, but I think is somewhat disguised by the extra grit in the tone of the clip.

SOLUTION: Tell the client to only use the pedal with another dirt-pedal set to heavy grit. Then he'll ask you for a combo build and you've satisfied the client AND made more money...

Got new ICs from mouser and put one in and it took care of it. Did they send fake ones initially? Left was purchased a couple of months ago from them and right is the new one.

Mine have a U cut and a dot

Right on. But switching it out made all the difference and it also changed the power consumption of the pedals as well. The Dane went from 3mA to 11mA. That’s gotta mean something.

If it works it works, glad it did!

Yours is also printed like my new ones are. The first ones were engraved. And yours has the dot too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

It works.

The one in my lightspeed



There’s always the possibility that it was damaged by cosmic radiation.

Can tell by the BB logo on the left ones they're fake @KR Sound, should be able to get replacements!

Ya, that’s gotta be the case. Will definitely be in touch with Mouser as these things aren’t cheap!

For reference, bad BB logo ^_^

Good BB logo ^_____^

Now I know.

Actually, just looked through my orders and the fakes came from Tayda, not Mouser. That makes me feel better.

Good to hear you got it sorted, and in a relatively easy manner!
ie no rebuilding or pulling the thing apart.




Can you post a clip with the new chip, SVP?

Merci Beaucoup in advance.

Here’s a quick one:

Sounds like he is a bit too close to his amp no? Honestly, this is sooooo faint, if anything at all. Not sure you'd even be able to reproduce this in a different configuration

 

[Feral Feline]

Fizzle gone!

Thanks for the follow up sound-sample comparison.

Got a response from Hugo about these:

During year 2022 , when there was a big shortage, we did bought around 150 pieces from a different supplier to test them then they failed to test and we separated them but just recently ( beginning of August ) one of our worker mistakenly put them in shelf where the actual stock is, so this mess up happened, but we quickly realized it and immediately sent apology letter to customer and issued refunds. Sorry we didn't think your order was there also. We will be more careful next time.

Funny they kept that long ...
