Naughty Fish makes a motorboating sound

[bscur]

I just fired up my Naught Fish for the first time and sadly, there is only a loud motorboating sound when the pedal is engaged. The sound seems to change a bit if I turn the knobs or flip the switches, but there isn't any guitar sounds. I put the socket in backwards for IC1, but the chip is in the correct way. I didn't think that mattered- does it? 
Thanks,
Brad

are IC4 pins 4 and 5 positive or negative?

[mcasemo]

also, if you are testing outside a box, make sure your input and output jacks are grounded.  if you follow the build doc, your output may need to be grounded

[bscur]

Thanks. I have a little test box that I screw the jacks into for grounding. Both IC4 4 and 5 are positive.
Thanks

IC4 pin 5 should be negative.
(if we are referring to the schematic on this build doc: http://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/NaughtyFish/NaughtyFish2015.pdf)
This is also the negative voltage that should be on pin 4 of the other IC's
Could you double check if you have measured the voltage correctly? Otherwise check if you have the correct IC in there.

Hi,
I have a LT1054CP chip in at number 4.

[bscur]

I have a 1n5242 as the 12v zener diode. Just checking that that is correct. The motorboat sound speeds up and slows down turning the knobs and goes away momentarily when I strum the guitar (although no guitar sounds come through).

[mcasemo]

If using LT1054, you need to lift pin 1.  It can't be connected to pin 8 like the others.  Did you lift pin 1?

[bscur]

Hi,
No, I didn't lift any pins. I haven't done that before. Do I just clip off the first pin of the IC? I don't think the docs mentioned that. Thanks for the advice and let me know the best way to lift the pin.
Thanks,
Brad

[bscur]

Also, is there a different IC that would work instead of LT1054 for IC4 and wouldn't require lifting any pins?

[Orbis_Ignis]

Did you ground the sleeve of the output jack? For some reason Madbean never puts it in the wiring but I've had to do it every time or I just get a lot of noise.

[bscur]

I added the extra ground in and I tried lifting the trace of pin #1 and it had the same sound.

[Orbis_Ignis]

There is definitely something wrong with IC1 and IC3. You should have some type of voltage on those other pins (if I'm looking at the schematic right).

Edit: except for pin 3 and 5 on ic3, which are going to ground

[bscur]

Well, now I've got guitar sounds coming through and when I play it there is some effect. However, if I stop and let it sit there is a loud buzzing. I play and the buzzing stops. The effect is fairly erratic. sometimes there is an extended high pitched declining whining sound kind of like the old funky song "You Dropped the Bomb on Me". Could the vactrols be bad? Is it a grounding issue? I'll re-check the IC1 and IC3. Maybe they are different with the sound coming through.

[bscur]

IC1 and IC3 are the same
1)0
2)0
3)0
4)8.4
5)0
6)0
7)0 (-.01 IC3)
8 ) -8.82
