Tech Help - Projects Page / deathklaw volume
July 31, 2016, 08:31:07 AM
Hi !
My Deathklaw is working good but dry signal is a little below unity level and a little dark sounding. Everything seems to be correct...I'm double checking resistors and caps right now, but I really don't know where to look...any ideas will be appreciated, thank you !

Quoteso much that I fix things that aren't broken... oh wait... that's called modding...  :)

I'm usually more about breaking things that aren't broken when I start modding.

...I thought i was the only one  :-[

...I have a printed copy of the .pdf, I got them scanned, it is not highest quality but you can read it with no problem...I really can't find the original doc. in my computer.
Just PM me your email address...

Etched board...? If so, maybe I can help.

...do you have an estimation for the shipping cost to Europe...?

I would take one enclosure in a group buy, too (if it is possible for Europeans to join).

the same here !  :)

General Questions / Demented Compressor pots
March 05, 2016, 09:01:49 AM
hi !
...can 25KA pots be used instead of 20KA pots in the Demented Compressor ?
And last one:can I use 620 ohm for those 619 ohm resistors ?
Thank you !!!

ok...sometimes I do stupid things, but this time I have done a really stupid thing, like putting a 2N5457 instead a 2N5087 in Q6...Now it works, of course, and it sounds really good...and I feel like a dork  :-[
For the phaser G pad, after a really close looking it seems that it's not attached to ground, it does not affect the sound, but the status led dont light up unless I wire it to ground...

Thank for your patience and sorry for my stupid mistake...

...this is what I use to test all my builds, pretty primitive but it works






...The black wire from phaser's g pad is for testing, I changed the script switch just in case...

I'm testing it with a sort of testing rig...(not boxed)...I have tried wiring the G pad to ground but nothing seems to change...Again, overdrive and delay works good, without the phaser engaged, once I switch it on, volume drops to allmost 0, but I can hear the phaser working in the background...rate, p-mix and scrip switch seems to work ok...

Hi !
So, yesterday I put toghether the Laserwolf project...Overdrive and delay works fine but Phaser not...I mean yes, but when I engage the phaser volume drops to allmost nothing...I can hear it swooshing but at a very very low level...Rate led is working, and so are all the pots.
The strange thing is that I dont get ground continuity in phaser's "G" pad.
I did the "scrip fix" and I was extra carefull to cut the trace, I used a 0.8mm drill bit for the job turning it by hand...I have ground continuity everywhere in the circuit except in the "G" pad of the phaser...
The voltage readings seems to be similar to the chart in the building document...Changed all Ic's, checked for solder bridges and components values...desoldered the scrip switch, the 4pdt and still nothing...
In any case, here's de voltage readings from a 9,7V regulated PS:

IC5:                                           
1   4.98v           
2   2.5V
3   5mV
4   5mV
5   2.85V
6   2.5V
7   0.55V
8   0.67V   
9-16   2.5V

IC4:
1   4.7V
2   4.7V
3   4.67V
4    3mV
5    4.67V
6    4.7V
7    4.7V
8    9.4V

IC2:
1    3.94V
2    3.94V
3    3.69V
4    2.6mV
5-6-7 varies
8    9.06V

IC3:
1    3.95V
2    3.95V
3    3.95V
4    2.5mV
5     3.95V
6     3.94V
7     3.74V
8     9.06V

IC6:
1     3.94V
2     3.94V
3     3.94V
4      2.5mV
5      3.94V
6      3.94V
7      3.94V
8      9.07V


...I'm really lost here...I can't find my mistake...I can post some pictures.
Thanks for your help !

hi !
I did not build it but as far as I know you got the translation right...the cd cap (150pF) has to be a multilayer cap...
