Where did you get your LM13700s, and did you use a set that you have VERIFIED work in another build?

My first one failed thanks to a batch of about 10 bad ones from rhymes-with-Veda.

Thanks Jon, I took them out of another working phaser.

My stagefright passes sound but doesn't phase, even when I turn the trimmer. I've reflowed about a million times. One thing I notice is, all of my voltages are consistent with others, except that pin 10and 12 on each lm13600, i get almost no voltage on each pin. I've checked al of the component values, and everything is correct. I'm ready to send it someone whom can troubleshoot further. Can you help a guy out and point m in the direction I need to go to fix the voltages?

I'll just leave this here:

Oh wow, vero, very cool. Yeah my wiring starts out really neat, and by the end, I'm just ready to be done. Everyone's first build looks just like that.

Hey everyone.  I am still in the diode destroyer category,  so please forgive the new question.  I built the bonamassa fuzz from Panos and I get no signal regardless of pedal on or off.  This uses the breakout board and I am assuming something is wired wrong.  Any thoughts?

Post clear close up pictures of the off board wiring and both sides of the board. Your issue sounds like it's not wired up correctly. Did you use the madbean standard writing diagram?

Yaaay, thanks mang, as I said before, this is my Facebook.

That is nice, I'm curious as to what it sounds like. Failure is not an option, reflow all your joints and check your values. There is a troubleshooting thread to help you after that.

Nice job, I'm gonna need to see a gut shot. What's under the hood?

I'm shutting the forum down at 9am CST for the maintenance. I expect it to be back late afternoon/early evening. If it goes longer I will post an update on the Facebook page.

Don't have Facebook, this is my Facebook!!!!

Well, why you need one like that, don't you have one like that? In a cover band situation, I use whatever the song calls for, lugging necessary pedals is a huge pain after a while. I know they're all necessary, but if you go from gig to gig just looking at some of them, but never use them, the new wears off. In an original situation, I use chorus, delay, overdrive and compression. Ironically, no phaser.

Neato man. What's the ISP knob do?

You can change the voice of the amp basically. Any where from a Europen Vox type sound to an American type sound. It's all heavier sounding though. It really has a very warm heavy sound all around.

I know you guys are tired of my wife buying me things, but this should be the last thing til I get that new acoustic. I was actually going to buy the esp led gold top my wife found, but they sold it, so I bought this instead. It's what I play r the Strat through before I bought it. It's the black star HT40. It's a very badass amp and a great addition to my eggnater tweaker.

The Seagull Mini Jumbos are ludicrously good guitars, especially at their price point.  I've got a Taylor 110CE, and the Seagull sounds and plays better by a significant amount, for a third (or is it a quarter now) of the price.

I checked on shipping Jimi, it's going to be a deal killer based on the size of the box.  Musiczoo (ebay) has a Mini Jumbo Ltd Walnut on for $249 with free shipping, you should be all over that one.

The Martin X series acoustics are also very good VFM, especially if you can get past the look of the laminated neck.  Have a DX-1 and a OOO-X and they play and sound great.  Steer clear from the new Sigma line though, picked up a 000 Sigma (the old ones used to be branded under Martin, the new ones just kept the name and no affiliation) for a steal (or so I thought), and it is horrifically dead sounding.

Yeah I figured it might be based on the shipping to get it here, thanks for checking though.

BTW: it's nothing special in terms of an instrument but last summer I had a few days to play on a Big Baby Taylor and it was great! So, so easy to play and pretty decent sounding.

I actually compared the big baby to the seagull and was disappointed the the seagull sounded better. That's why I made my decision.

Maybe if you go shopping for a ukulele your wife will get you one of these:

Well...she did being home a ukele...along with an epi les Paul and another mandolin...
