Re: Chunk systems 00funk agent output DC problem

Thanks for your reply. I followed the layout in: http://tagboardeffects.blogspot.com/201 ... k.html?m=1

I'll add pulldowns and check it again.

Chunk systems 00funk agent output DC problem

Hello. I built a 00funk and it sounds really good. However, I noticed a 'pop' when switching it on (bypass with a 3PDT). I measured 0.3Vdc in the output when active what seems really high to me to be capacitor leakage... but, could it be possible the it is caused by capacitors? I used electrolitic f...

Re: BAJA Ampeg SVT bass amplifier pedal 9v 010418 [documentation]

Apologies for bumping an old thread, but I'm embarking on this build, and as I always do, I screwed something up on my Mouser order. This time I accidentally bought the SMD version of the TL062 instead of the through-hole. Tried to make a go of soldering leads onto the pins so I could use it anyway...

Re: Help needed with BAJA Ampeg SVT bass amp pedal

It is a kind volume drop but only in mids and highs.

Re: Help needed with BAJA Ampeg SVT bass amp pedal

Problem solved! A 20mH inductor was faulty. Now I can finally close the box :applause: (and start with other one :mrgreen: )
Thanks for your help.

Re: Help needed with BAJA Ampeg SVT bass amp pedal

I tried the 220 ohm resistor between Vbias and mid pot wiper and I can change the volume with the mid pot. I also double checked the wiring around the switch but I didn't find the error yet. I will continue looking for it but I wonder if this mid eq is very subtle. I already noted that inductors are...

Re: Help needed with BAJA Ampeg SVT bass amp pedal

Thanks for the suggestions. I will try them. I wonder if that changes will have noticeable effects on the freq response. What do you think?

I found that the mid pot has no effect on the sound. I tried the 5 positions of the switch (freq selector) but no luck... What could I try?

Thanks!

Re: Help needed with BAJA Ampeg SVT bass amp pedal

Does anyone have any idea about the stage that contains the problem? Given the IC's can swing 6.2Vp-p the diodes at the end are likely to be the cause as they clip at +/- 0.65V (or 1.3Vp-p). I fixed a mistake. 2 caps near treble pot were exchanged. Now that is solved, you are totally right: the cli...

Re: Help needed with BAJA Ampeg SVT bass amp pedal

Thanks for your answer. It is good to know that the values don't look unusual. The first stage that saturates is at IC3a with the conditions decribed above. I also checked the op amp gains at IC1a and IC2a and the measured values seem OK. I will continue testing to find the problem and I will post a...

Help needed with BAJA Ampeg SVT bass amp pedal

I built the following pedal: https://www.freestompboxes.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=28975 The problem is that the circuit saturates too early. Measuring the output of op amps using an oscilloscope I found that, having all pots in the middle (mainly gain), with a sinusoidal input of 150 mV (Vpp), th...

Re: BAJA Ampeg SVT bass amplifier pedal 9v 010418 [documentation]

Sorry, my mistake in the value. I meant that 2n2 capacitor (not 2u2). I understand that it is part of a bandpass filter. What strikes me is that it is in the schematic but not in the veroboard layout. Indeed, I checked the photos in the first post by bajaman and I can't find this capacitor there. I ...
