Hi,

Ive just built the harbinger two and having some issues.

first issue is the bypass, i can only have the effect on rather than bypassed, ive wired it as per the documents and it looks wrong to me?

Ive found a diagram which is correct and can see the errors so its not a biggie.

the main problem i have with the effect on is that the speed control doesnt work?
will check voltages and see if it can find out whats up!!

i can hear the effect, even though its very low in effect volume.

Hi All,

I've built the Distortion 3 and all controls seem to work but there not very much gain/distortion?
I get more gain from my tube screamer!!
Bit disappointed with this pedal at the moment, hope it's something I've done wrong.

Hi All,

I have just built the Death claw delay and i'm getting delay with the ghost switch one way but when i switch to the other way i don't get any delay?
I also don't get feedback to oscillate?
and the other weird ting is that when i take out IC2 and only have IC3 in there the delay is much longer than with both IC2 and IC3 in?
Voltages are all pretty close to what they should be, i'm a bit stumped, could anyone help please?

Hi All,

Building tractor beam and bit confused of what zener to use as it just says zener?

Any ideas?

Hi All,

Have completed build of this pedal, voltages looking good and getting flinging but awful hum present with effect engaged or not?
Also not entirely sure how to wire the foot switch, as wired it as per other pedals with led but could get it to switch off led?
Have scope and multimeter just need to trace audio path to see why I'm getting hum?
Any help would be good as I've seen a lot of problems with this pedal!!

Hi everyone,

I'm finally there with a working Collosalus pedal, I had rushed the build and missed a solder joint and two transistors I had the wrong way round!!!
Works ok apart from a slight drop in volume, I've noticed on a few other videos of other builds this seems to be the case as well, so could anyone suggest either a gain control or a unity gain fix?

Regards

Hi,

i have built the Collosaslus and im getting no sound when engaged?
the problem seems to be with IC4, pin 1 is only 2.96v and all other voltages are off?
IC6 seems to be all over the shop as well!!!!

Hi,
have just built two of these pedals the collosalus and the harbinger one.
the harbinger one works but has a loud oscillating noise when pedal is activated, this is in time with the light?
also the speed led only lights up when about 3/4 CW.
Also is there anyway to make the speed faster?

regards

Spence.

Hi,

I'm just starting to build ten Harbinger one pcb and noticed a wrong value on R48, on PDF it says 12k, but I'm pretty sure this is a typo and meant to be 1.2k.
