So happy for the HB2. It has been over a year since I built a pedal. I can't wait to dig into this one and get the last commercial pedal off my board!

Great finish!

Best of luck in your new endeavor. I definitely be in on the kickstarter.

Thanks Scruffie - I will check it out.

The pedal worked before I boxed it up, I doubt it was static related, but it is possible.

Could someone help a paint by numbers builder with where I would measure input to the MN3005 to ensure my voltage is not going north of 15V for some odd reason.

I put 4 other MN3005 in the Aquaboy and all work, but the original one I had in the pedal will not work. I don't have another BBD based delay to test in.

Tech Help - Projects Page / Aquaboy MN3005 failed

I have an older Aquaboy (red pcb from FSB buy) that worked fine when I built it, when I recently plugged it into my voodoo labs power supply it would not get any delay - the only thing that happened moving any of the knobs was a very slight whine when cranking up one of the pots (I think it was the feedback pot).

I pulled the pedal off the board and plugged it into a one spot, same thing. Tweaking all the trimpots had no effect. I then swapped out the MN3005 with another one and got delay, I then tried a few more chips and they all worked fine.

It dawned on me I had the voodoo labs power supply set for an original Boss DM-3 at 12V. I thought the increased voltage might have caused the failure, but what I have seen in other threads suggest I should be able to run the Aquaboy at 15V, so I am thinking 12V should be fine.

Could the 12V have friednthe chip? If it was not the voltage any suggestions on how to troubleshoot to ensure I don't lose another chip?

Thanks

I too am looking for the first time in a decade. A friend turned me on to indeed.com which is a search engine for jobs.

Also, I am a big fan of lifehacker.com - search their site for lots of interview and resume tips.

Good luck!

Madbean's diagrams all reference the flat/round sides of the LED - now that I know to look at the lense vs. the metal all is good.

How Do I? Beginner's Paradise. / LED round and flat sides

Posting this for others. After staring more times than I care to admit at the metal inside the LEDs I could not for the life of me figure out which way was round and which was flat. After a little googling I found a good explanation and picture. A portion of the rim of the lense is flat.

After some debug (had the 9v on the battery lug) my pork barrel is working. The pedal sounds nice, but when I compare it to my real CE-2, the Pork Barrel is lacking some "warmth" and does not seem to have as deep of a chorus. I did not put on the deep or wet switches and have the vibe jumpered. Thinking I will add the deep switch to see if that helps. I bought my MN3007 on ebay, would a fake work, but not quite as good as a real one? Any other thoughts/suggestions to get closer to a CE-2?

Thanks
