I think I got the Jfets at Stompbox a couple of years ago. Tough to find now. It tests well so I don't think there's an issue there. I didn't try biasing once I realized there was no signal going through the pedal whether on or off. I will certainly try that though because the pedal is getting power. I don't usually solder in the dc jacks until I know the pedal works. I just hook them in and make sure there is a good enough connection to power it.
Oh wow, screwed that one. Will fix that asap. Once that is sorted i'm sure I'll at least get a clean signal. Would that have an effect on the signal getting to the red LEDs?
I don't believe so. If not, have I screwed myself on this pedal. I don't think I could successfully desolder the entire switch in order to start over.
There isn’t a schematic but my guess is those are clippers so I wouldn’t expect them to light if the signal was going directly to ground.
No easy fix you just undo the nut and then there is a washer with a little nub on it. You pull that out turn the shaft all the way counter clockwise then install it on I’m guessing position 2 but I’m not certain.
The build doc for the Aion Spectron discusses how to change the positions.
So I fixed the poor soldering job on the FS but still no Boost channel. Cut everything off. I will take it out of the enclosure this weekend and hook it up to some jumpers to see if there's some ground issue when in the box. Appreciate everyone's feedback.
Did you go back and adjust the bias? I’m not sure where that is located in the circuit but if it’s for the boost it could be the issue. Some circuits wont make a sound if the bias isn’t right.
