Is there a diy compressor available to us diy'ers that sounds similar to and has similar controls to the Cali76? I'm jonesing for one but can not justify the price. Looking for the next best thing.

Oh I had no idea the new ones have a trimmer! I'll have to see if I already have it.

Does anyone remember what the keeley mods are for the boss tr-2? I recall seeing them way back when here but can't find them when searching. I just got one cheap and wanna tinker.

I really like the idea of doing small batches of older projects. There are many projects that I would have bought if I was around when they were being sold. Also I agree with the donate button as well. I'm not super prolific at building or active in the forum but this has seriously been the best hobby ever and this is by far the best place to learn.

I'm from there. They used to have parties every weekend at the compound before prince died.

Love that etch!!

Got this thing working!

You are showing negative voltages on your second picture. Swapping a FET or dinking around with parts on a board does not suddenly cause your power supply to reverse its polarity. You measured your voltages wrong. Please fix that and repost them.

If you haven't reflowed your solder joints everywhere you need to do that as well.

Thanks Jon sorry for the annoying posts. I think I ended up messing up my connection to ground on the power jack and breaking a solder joint with trying to bias this thing. Frustrated with my skills. I really appreciate the patience and help! Will reflow some possible connections and try again tomorrow. Sorry again for being the annoying guy

does This seem like something is shorted somewhere or does this seem like a bad part? Also why would the trimmer have no effect on the drain voltage? Does this se m like a bad trimmer? Every time I hook power up with my one spot I get different readings at the j fet.

Thanks guys!

Black lead was to ground. Source and gait were both 0. Second pic was with a different J201 from small bear.

Changed the jfet our for one from small bear.  Different readings again. Have no idea what is going on with it.

Ic voltages match reference from build doc

Wife did the purple fade paint. She plays bass and I'm trying to get her into pedals

Does this seem like the jfet is the issue?

On further readings at the drain I get mostly between 11-14 v and the trimmer makes no difference
