Thank you for checking. Although I've wasted some money and bought some incorrect components, I think that figuring out what components go where has been at least kind of helpful for me.

I don't know how to share that project publicly, but I added the cap, and it should be correct now. I do have backup resistors and some common Cap values, as well.

emailed!

Could someone with more knowledge than me go to mouser and check this project for me: 2b63efa9a9

I think it should be fine to order for the JMK Hoodoo Drive, but I wanted to check first. (project at http://www.jmkpcbs.com/JMK_PCBs/Store_files/Hoodoo%20Drive.pdf)

Danggggg. Allright back at it thanks for the heads up.

Sorry for the newbness, but is that a good marker? if the joint shows the solder pad, it wasn't hot enough?

I'm sorry I can't get the pictures to work right... i swear. everything about this newfound interest is just confounding.

Hello again, tech help genuises. I recently built, or, rather, attempted to build a brian may treble booster generously supplied by rullywowr. (build doc here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73135424/Brian%20May%20Treble%20Booster/Brian%20May%20Treble%20Booster%20Build%20Doc%20v1.1.pdf) I did something wrong, naturally, and I'm trying to troubleshoot this build. Here are some pictures of the completed circuit.  <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23187848@N07/9690649323/" title="DSC01966 by andrewbrautigam, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3758/9690649323_6538e85f45_c.jpg" width="800" height="531" alt="DSC01966"></a> The testing rig output probe works at c1, but nowhere else. help?

well i reflowed the solder on the output jack and now everything works. now for the circuit troubleshooting

Hello oh patient madbeaners.

A couple of days ago, I put together a basic testing rig as described by jkochura. I used it to test a ego driver, and the pedal didn't work. Today I used it to test a treble booster, and it didn't work. So I tried to test my testing rig, by hooking up the "in" and "out" clips, and IT didn't work, or pass the guitar signal at all. I have an audio probe attached to the output jack, and it works fine and passes signal perfectly.

What the heck?

That is what I figured. Well back to work I suppose

Sweet. Well I built the testing rig, like in the stickied post, and it seems like r3 ( in the egodriver) is the (first) culprit.

Now I need to desolder and try again.

And for. Third dumb question, if I take the pots out of the circuit, can I still test it? It is hard to get to the board with the board mounted pots

1. Can I ground my test rig ground to the sleeve of one of the jacks?

2. Are there any "debugging for dummies" threads floating around?

Re: Nashville -

I could make a couple of calls....

hey thanks so much! I will try to take pictures later tonight and get them up here.

I have ordered some fuzz components & boards, too.

Hopefully someday I'll be able to pay it forward. If you have a speeding ticket in Chautauqua County, NY, I should be able to help.

Well good to know. I have the stuff on order to build a testing rig with an audio probe. I think my soldering is ok, but I will try to get a picture up also
