Title: Sticky Thread for Voltages?
Post by: RobA on July 21, 2014, 04:27:41 PM
Maybe this has already been suggested (and rejected) or it's here and I missed it, but a sticky thread in the Tech Help section with the voltages from known good builds could be really helpful. I know that there are lots of good voltages floating around, but finding them by searching the forums can be pretty hard because the good levels mainly get masked by the requests for help with not quite right (or really wrong) levels. If such a thread were created, I'd be happy to get out the meter and post some levels from the builds of mine that I know work.

heck yeah!
voltages are often asked for and provided yet i can't seem to find verified ones when i need them. i dont have many pedals that havent found a new home but id contribute with voltages from any and all succesful future builds.
lets make this happen, it only takes 10 minutes to type up once a build is verified!

This would be great, the one component I have no way of testing, short of checking voltages.

+1. I've seen a few other build instructions that do post voltages. Huge help.

This would definitely be useful. There's currently thread where someone's having a problem with a Pork Barrel and a list of known good voltages would have helped to troubleshoot the issue.

Same here, its been helpful at times.

I would be more than happy to pop open my builds and take readings. Hell, others might be able to spot problems also with each other builds. lol

Yeah, that was the thread that motivated me to start this thread. It can be hard to help when you don't know where the baseline should be.

So, should we just start the thread over in Tech Help? Even if it isn't a sticky thread, it would be easier to find the voltages if they all sit in one thread.
