beginner big muff problems

registracii · Post by **registracii** » 30 May 2012, 00:08

Hello - after the great help I received with my screamer pedal here I decided to try to get some on one of my other failed kits

this is a big muff violet ram ver. from http://www.musikding.de/Kits/Musikding- ... :3069.html

When turned on the led is light but the signal is cut totally and I can only hear some scratching when I turn the tone knob... the other 2 give no reaction at all. there is no noise or anything going to the amp.

Any help will be appreciated.

What appened with R3, R9 and R14?

I think they have the same PSb for any of the big muff ver. -this one leaves them empty I will look into that thanks for pointing it out

it turned out that the 3 resistors are simply missing from the kit. I assumed when I ran out of parts that I was finished.
thanks for the help, Duckman

I'm was just writing about!

Try those resistors and tell us, ok?

I will, unfortunately I don't have any so I guess I'll have to wait another week for delivery

If you have 390k or 510k, it'll not be exactly the same, but just a little difference: 390k will reduce gain and 510k will rise it.
Not big deal, just to make the beast breathe.

I don't have 3 of the same value, but I contacted them and they will send the missing ones ... I think is time to order a big bag of resistors for cases like this one.

Yeap, you're right!

or, you know, for building new stuff.
