Tech Help - Projects Page / Kingslayer cap sub.
May 27, 2018, 07:24:21 PM
Hello all.
I have everything but a 3.9n cap for c15 on my Kingslayer build.
Looks like it goes to the middle leg on the tone pot.
I have a 2.2 or a 4.7.
Any idea what the tonal differences will be from the 3.9?
Thanks

Tech Help - Projects Page / Flabulanche dc noise
May 03, 2015, 07:38:06 AM
Just got done my build. It sounds great but I get noise with a dc adapter.
I have tried another brand adapter but still getting noise.
9v battery power is clean.
Wanted to note I don't get any noise in my other pedals with either of my adapters.
I have tried moving the dc input plug/shielding the wires/a different wall outlet.
*I built it stock but did the "Put the 4n7 in C3, omit C4 and jumper R4" to get a bit more bottom end.
ic is a Texas lt1054cp

What can I look for to tweak?

Hello.. Just got done my KSII and it sounds great.
One issue I have is I cant tell any difference between the fat switch settings.
I only had a center off switches...and I can hear when the caps are "off" (sounds a bit dead) but I cant hear any noticeable difference between standard and fat.
Continuity checks  out (caps are getting hit via up and down on switch) and cap values are good.
Anything else I can check?
Could it be a bad chip?


Yes gain is at least 3/4 up.

Tech Help - Projects Page / Chunk 2012 noise
August 20, 2012, 06:27:42 AM
I now have my Chunk Chunk boxed up and "on the road" with me.
I went to use it at practice Sunday (above bedroom levels for the 1st time) and
it's much too noisy at idle. It has so much white noise and a bit of random crackle that it
won't let my noise gate turn on (bumps the threshold). This is also present with the guitar volume
all the way down...so it's coming from the pedal.
This is with volume and gan about 12:00. Loweing the  gain helps a "bit", but
it's still a problem.
It's in a metal enclosure and I am not using shielded cable (runs are very short to the switch though).

Anything I can look at/try?
Thanks.

Tech Help - Projects Page / Chunk Chunk 2012
July 28, 2012, 08:09:59 PM
Hello.
I did my 1st "big" build this weekend and could use some some tweaking advice.
To my ears...the C.C. is waaaay too trebly. If I rotate the T.pot anywhere past 1/4 from zero (full counter clockwise) it just seems too harsh. Are there any tweaks for this? I had to use a 25kb (all I could get ahold of) but I don't think it's causing the issue.
Sounds great otherwise. ;D
