Yikes. This would probably be a really funny time to mention I'm in college for electrical engineering. Haha. Thanks, I guess I was thinking they were interchangeable for some random reason. I'll swap 'em out and report back.

So I pulled it out of the enclosure, checked all the wiring of the pots, checked both boards for solder bridges, and the value of c13. All was fine. I can't figure out for the life of me why this isn't working. I'm using 2n5088 transistors, should I be using BS170s instead? Could that be throwing it off somehow?

Very cool Brian, I'd love to hear back on the 5C9. I'm guessing you get a bit of the bunching up on the pots then?

I'll do some tweaking this weekend.

Maybe the clock bleed was just proximity to the actual chip? I would have thought it was just because it was noisy in itself. Not sure.

I checked the switch for solder bridges, but I'm still not finding what I know should be there. I'm going to check the actual board tomorrow, there's got to be something I'm not seeing.

Fresh pair of eyes and all that.

G'night.

Nope, I'm not getting any clock bleed, though it does seem like the LEDs are proportionately bright to the position of the knobs associated with the LED.

Is this normal? I've never seen/used the ZVex version, I'm not sure what "right" looks like.

I'm thinking it's time to remove the pots board. 

Hi gents and gens, here's my DigDug pedal. It's working...sort of...

I seem to be getting nothing but random. I'm going to pull out the potentiometer board (uhg) and check wiring there, but anyone have any ideas of a quick thing to check before I tear this thing down to the ground?

Here's some pictures:

EDIT: I did use a CD4017BE instead of a CD4017... am I hosed?

I've wanted one of these things since they came out, and now that I have the funds and actual justifications to get one, I can't find one anywhere.

I'd LOVE one of these, and would be happy to help contribute time, pcb design, etc.
