Boss TW-1 problems

Good! I am building a Boss TW-1 that I had bought disassembled, I have put the missing parts, but when activating the effect, it does not make the sound of the car wah. If I move the Peak control it sounds like it goes from a high-pitched sound to a low-pitched sound, like I'm moving the knob on a w...

Boss DD-3 (A) problem

Goodnight! I have a Boss DD-3 (A) that has a horrible beep. When you turn on the pedal, you can hear it and the guitar signal will not pass. I have verified voltages and with an audio probe to see where the signal passes, but I cannot find the problem. In case the same thing happened to someone and ...

The error is difficult to find without measurement, what measuring equipment do you have?
Hello! I have a multimeter (with which I measure resistance and voltage) and a home audio probe to look for the signal

I have verified that there is no bridge between pads, which may be causing a problem, but tomorrow I will check again more thoroughly

Thx!

... Another potentiometer gone bad?
It is heard as the sound changes, but it gives little effect, as if the Gain was between 1 and 2 (assuming that the pot goes from 1 to 10)

Re: Xotic BBpreamo bass no Gain

Perhaps the potentiometer itself is bad. Sometimes one or more pins loose the mechanical connection with the internal carbon trace, creating an intermittent contact. This could explain the fluctuating voltage. Edit You should have noticed that also the volume of the pedal fluctuates though... Yes, ...

Re: Xotic BBpreamo bass no Gain

The resistance of C14 (10uF), depending on how you measure, positive-negative, or negative-positive, ranges from 500K to 6M. 500k is kinda low, I'd replace it. Please check the rest I have changed the 10uF capacitor, and checked the other components (the ones by the source, they are all ok) but the...

Re: Xotic BBpreamo bass no Gain

I have noticed that in the Volume potentiometer the voltage fluctuates between 4.5V and drops to 2V, without moving the potentiometer. Volume pot is tied to bias voltage and AC coupled with nearest stages. Fluctuation means that bias is not stable or/and coupling caps are shorted or defunkt. Check ...

Xotic BBpreamo bass no Gain

Good afternoon. I have a xotic bb preamp bass that when activated does not generate any distortion. At the maximum travel of the potentiometer it is as if it were in the 1/4 of the same I have changed the two ICs for testing, also change the 1N4148 diodes, but still the problem persists.

not sure if it matters, but did you use a C50K pot for the Mids?

According to this image, the pot is of C50K, there is something weird in its pa...
