Any luck getting your KB functional again dude?

Keeping all extremities crossed for you!! Best of luck.

How's the KB repair going man? Found the source of the problem yet? Hopefully it's something obvious/easy to identify!

I like your attitude!! I too will sit it out and await your results.

Ok I've just received a reply from Peter..

"My original design did use a buffer for the bias voltage, but it had some major issues. It's been so long since I was at that part of the design phase, so I can't remember exactly what the problems were. I just remember that when I abandoned the buffered bias and went to a simple voltage divider using 1k resistors, it worked great."

Ok, email sent. Will let you know what transpires. Any chance you might have some time this weekend to attempt the testing phase again? Hope all's well with you.

Hey did anyone end up emailing Peter about this? If not, let me know and I'm happy to attempt to see what he thinks?

The Klein bottle was included in the file pack I got through patreon. Doesn't include the custom chips though, so not much use.

Oh ok.. it's most likely included in the $10 pack on the VFE site then I guess. Might be worth grabbing.

Haven't been able to try again yet.  Been juggling a few family and work things.  Sorry to keep you hanging.

No that's fine man, you have a life! Looking forward to hearing from you though

I can't seem to reproduce the bleedthrough problem.  I'm not sure what the magical combination of settings is.  Any ideas?

Did you have any luck mate?

Hey mate, you can buy the Eagle files for 'all' of the VFE pedals (probably not including the Klein Bottle, but I'm not sure) for $10USD from the VFE site. Here's the link.. I think it's down toward the bottom of the page.

I don't mind at all man! I'm highly appreciative of your help and it's been awesome seeing this mod develop! Maybe it deserves its own thread though, as some KB owners might skim over this thread after the first page. What do you think?

Sorry for the confusion, I obviously still have a lot to learn!! My thinking was that because it doesn't matter what way around you put a resistor, it might not matter which way around I install the wires for the buffer board. Thanks for straightening that out!

Ok, I'll wait until I hear the results from your tests before I install the board. Thanks again!

Great, thanks for your help with this!  I'll have it installed tomorrow morning at some stage once I receive my MLCC's and pick up some heat shrink tubing.

It doesn't matter what side I solder the leads to on the resistors, right? I'm just going to utilise the same technique Peter used and snip the existing resistors and solder the leads from the new daughter board to the original resistor leg nubs. Should be fine just to leave the board unsecured do you think? I'll just keep the leads as short as possible.

Unreal man! I really hope Thursday is the day.. so keen for some of that new madbean goodness!! Sorry to keep bugging you, as I already mentioned I'm just super keen

Good luck!
