Hey Folks. New to this site. I repair old amps and occasionally old pedals.

Trying to understand and get this pedal working correctly.

The pedal is working but I notice the following

The red check LED does not light up. I believe it should be ON when the pedal is active. Or, maybe the older versions did not do this?

When running on a battery I see the full battery voltage at the board.
When running on a wall wort there is a 3V drop at the board which I trace back to the PS adapter socket...

Hi Everyone,

I've just recently been given a Peavey Backstage Plus 35W Solid State guitar amp for nothing, and I'm currently working on it to get it back to a useable state, so, what's wrong with it?

Well, the original speaker is a no-worker but the rest of the amp seems to work fine, I verified this by plugging my pair of headphones into the headphone socket, I get normal sound through my headphones but no sound through the speaker.... :thumbsup

I've managed to find what I think should...

Hi. I built WattAmp pedal. (
It is preamp pedal with 3 transistors. It works great, but even on low gain have some loud noise.
I recorded it. Can anyone classify this noise? What should i check?

I posted the gut shots to this a while back here

The original thread for this was for the first version which was different and the schematic pics are long gone.

I got around to tracing it myself, it's slightly different than a phase 90, just some different part values and an extra resistor on the output. Enjoy.

If I set the guitar volume to less than 95% the pedal seems to tune in to mains hum. The guitar has no hum when plugged into my Zoom 3000 so why would the Boss pedal give trouble? I bought the Boss off Ebay so I did a factory reset that went fine but setting the pedal sensitivity or range of the toe & heel switches didn't do what the manual said. It appeared to log the two positions with the right led states but pressing the switches a second time was supposed to switch it to normal mode. Is...

Hello guys. Just built UniCab from pedalPcb.
It sounds not bad with guitar. But when i tried it with bass, there was not enough low frequencies for me.
So i want to change values of some filters to just add more bass.

I hear that Size and Resonance pots are changing bass. Am i right that i have to try different values for C8 and C10?

Ok, I might intentionally have double posted this :D. I do apologise, but I think this might be of interest to more people.

I have some Qtron (+) mod questions:

1. Volume mod. I presume it would be done by adding a A10k in a standard way like this?

2. R32 mod. Is it the R32 as in the schematic of this thread ? And with what should it be replaced? I think it is already altered in this version as I read it was replacing the 100k with a 47k or lower. Am I correct?
3. Mix mod. Am I correct in...

I know the IP Police are hot on anyone posting current EH schematics but if someone has it and could PM me I'd be most appreciative.

Ok so this is a known good design to get round 24 to 25V. However how much current will it be able to draw? Will it be enough to feed a Qtron+? Or will i need to place an extra separate LT1054 in parallel (as image below)?

IMO a really good sounding distortion with a pretty good range of settings.
Heavy metal housing, good mechanical and electrical workmanship.

The pedal works perfectly in 8 second mode. However, when I switch to 2 or 1/2, the effect doesn't work. When it kicks in, it basically doubles the signal overtop of the input, i.e. Just makes the sound a little warmer. There are no trails, echos, or repeats. The delay controls don't seem to change anything. The controls all work perfectly in 8 second mode however. I've recapped and swapped ICs. I get the voltages on the 4066 when sliding the selector switch. Interestingly, if I jump pins 3&4...

another blatant Klon clone, nothing new under the sun...
But in V2 they introduce 3 extra transistors? One is a run of the mill 2N3906...

Hi,

I made a vero layout of an Ibanez BP10 bass compressor, based on the schematics of GGG. I checked it several times but could not find an error so far. But my build does not work. I checked the layout again and did the typical soldering troubleshooting, but no success. So I give up and will do some other build. If anybody wants to continue and do some debugging - here it is for free use.

I am curious if anyone here has tried these. They are targeted to HiFi Stereo buffs on AliExpress (I assume Temu and Wish, also).
I actually ordered a couple of one style to goof around with.

I'm just curious if anyone has experience with their use in pedals.
This is the vendor I see most frequently with these:
HuaXinHuiDianZi Store
I mean, if they suck they suck and I'm out about $15 USD.
But I'm curious if anyone else has goofed around with them.

-Have fun!...

Hi all,

Here’s another traced Landtone (TTone, USDream) schematic This one is for the Landtone Fuzz.

This one is component for component identical to the EHX Op Amp Big Muff Pi as drawn in this forum here , save the initial power noise shunting cap (C10 in my drawing, C13 in Gottfried Divos’), and the volume pot (10k-B instead of 100k-B). The pot is RK097 style if you would want to change it out. The cap is fine as it is.

I think the lack of a...
