I'm getting down to building my last few boards, and realized I don't have any documentation on this one.  The board itself doesn't list values for the caps and resistors.  Does anyone happen to have a diagram showing those?

Thanks, I'll order a couple when Small Bear opens back up.

Thanks.

With 3007 removed, both are 7.4v
With 3101 removed, both are 9.4v

Is that sounding like a problem with the 3101?

I'm not sure how I would tell.  They are both around 7V with the chips in place.

Okay, dug out my bench.  I removed D4, and the voltages didn't change.   Pin 1 on the sockets is 9.4 for each chip. 

Not sure where I got the 3101 from, I thought Smallbear, but very likely I'm mis- remembering that...

Thanks!  It'll be a week or so before I can try those ideas.  Just had my oil tank replaced, so half my basement is in my work area...  They tore up my floor paint dragging the tanks around, so need to wait for the touchups to dry before unburying my bench.

Hello,

  I'm trying to figure out the Pork Barrel and not having much luck.  I've reflowed everything.  I get a strong clean signal with the effect on or off.  Attached are my pics, and here are the voltages I'm getting

Hello,

  I'm going through the pedals I can't figure out and have hit the Agua Net.  I can't really understand the schematic (for example there are a bunch of circles with the word "pin" in them), but I have been poking around with the audio probe.  Here's what I'm getting: On or off the effect has a strong sound, just no chorus.  If I flip the VIBE switch, no sound at all.  Using the probe IC3/IC4/Q4/Q5/R48 are getting no sound.  I am getting a very faint sound from IC5/Q3/Q6.  I have reflowed everything, and double checked values.

There is a drawing on the front of the build doc with a pic of the board, and a bunch of colored lines, but I'm not sure what they represent.  There is a thin maroon, thick maroon, thin blue, and thick blue line.  If anyone knows what each represents that might help me debug too.

Thank you in advance for any help or ideas,
Paul.

No, it's a Diablo Chris board.
