Title: Got my Sunking that wouldn't work to work right!!...
Post by: pauloman80 on February 17, 2012, 07:30:43 PM
Been gone for a while.  I got discouraged by the aforementioned Sunking build and then my own minor economic crisis.  Hoping to start building again here shortly.

As for the Sunking, I got some help from my genius building buddy (who's started his own pedal building biz making original circuits now, closing in on 100 builds, we're gonna launch a website soon).  He discovered I goofed the value on one of the first resistors in the circuit.  >:(  Stupid resistor!  After that, I found that the volume on the pedal wasn't bypassing, so I opened it up and found I incorrectly attached the S6 lead to the wrong terminal on the X-wing switch.  Fixed that, and now I'm rockin' with my new über-transparent Sunking.  It's a glorious thing.

Wanted to say thanks to the guys who did their best trying to help me figure out where I went wrong on this build.  Still irritated that I didn't discover the issue with my Ohm meter & signal tester.  But whatever.  Time to move on and tackle something new!
