Hi
Im having some trouble with my poindexter build and I could really use some help.
When I hook everything up there is no bypassed signal at all, totally muted. When I engage the pedal the LED lights up and there is some static that changes when I adjust the knobs on the pedal but there are no notes or signal from the guitar. This is the same wether I use my one spot adaptor or a tested 9 volt battery.
I built the pedal exactly to spec, no changes at all. I did remember to reverse C11 as it is noted in the PDF.
Here is the poindexter PDF:
http://madbeanpedals.com/projects/Poindexter/docs/Poindexter.pdfThere are 5 transistors, all 2n3904. Here are the voltage readings I got on from them:
Q1: E: 0
B: 1.2
C: 5.2
Q2: E: 2.8
B: 0.6
C: 4.4
Q3: E: 0.8
B: 0.8
C: 3.2
Q4: E: 0.8
B: 0.8
C: 3.2
Q5: E: 0
B: 0.4
C: 5.8
And reading from the diodes:
D1 A- 0
K- 0
D2 A- 0
K- 0
D3 A- 0
K- 9
Here are some pics: I really tried to light them as best as I could.
