I dont want to sound pessismist but a lot of things that Mark sells  come from Ebay . He just resell it at a higher price .

I have a couple of old intercap 4uf non polarized if you need one.
I dont know if they fit on the weener pcb , something like 2 cm .

I had that problem  and in my case it was a fake mn3101 . Now it s working but it s more subtle than my original ce-2 .

1. Im pretty sure you can use a tl062 . The original CE-2 uses a tl022 . Ive tried the tl022 in my pork barrel but it added a strange noise .

2. RD11EB is a 11 volt zener diode and I dont understand why they use it on the tonepad clone . From what I understand Boss uses 11v zener in the ce-2 because of the ACA power supply wich was a 12 volt .

3. You cant run this at 18v but you can run it up to 15 volts . However the 11 volt zener will not permit it , you will probably have to not use it ( need some other advices on that ) .

4. Dont know sorry .

And for the rpd, i Think it s a pull down resistor .

AC128 are PNP .

Hi , I was wondering what was happening with the sharkfin .

If it were any other IC, I'd say no problems, I've ordered hundreds of ICs from Polida and they've all been legit.  However, I'm still skeptical on the 3005s, if only because my brain goes if they were legit, there would be an epic post on here about it and we would have collectively exhausted their stock by now.  So I guess it's really up to how risk averse you are.

I know, I'm no help.  I chickened out and ordered 3008s from them - if they're crap, I'm only out $7.

Hi , I know you live in canada too so Im just curious about the shipping time . They say it s like 40 days to canada . Is that true ?

yes, very true.

I just thought I'd be super over the top obnoxious to start the day off right

. I like it .

I see the same trace as you ( wich is why Im so confused ) .

Maybe Brian could help us to put some light on this .

But Im sure of one thing : if I put a 2n5457 without rotating and bending the legs I can barely hear the down octaves .

Now Im wondering if something is wrong with my build .

I will try again again at louder volume tomorrow .

well I tried it like you said and it sounds really bad on my build . Going back to my 180 degree + leg bending .

well I will check tonight but I m pretty sure  (or not)  I did a 180 degree rotation + the leg bending to my 2n5457 .

That`true . And all components all suface mounted  ... I just dont have the knowlege to fix this .

At least its always on and not always off ... and it  sounds great . I ll probably use it as an always on pedal .

Hi, I just bought a used TC Electronic classic booster + distortion really cheap . The guy said that the foostwistch was not working so he sold it to me for 45 $ .

When I came back to my home I tested that footswitch with a continuity tester and it looks like it s working like it should . The pedal is always on and it wont bypass even with a working footswitch .

Anybody knows what can cause this ?

Thanks for the answer .

I think I ll try it in my mudbunny .

I have a bunch of 300kb pots that I want to tranform into 100kb . Since my DMM is out of order I cant test it so can somebody can correct me if Im wrong :

Will it works if I put 1 75k between lug 1 and lug 2 And another 75k between luh 2 and lug 3 .
Will it works without affecting the taper .

Thanks
