Should we shield them?<br />Then, I don't remember if I tried, but I notice that a filter electrolyic cap in the power supply is missing (47uF or 100uF). Maybe it could help.<br />Do you wanna try it? You have to include it between 9v and the ground, with the negative side on the ground (maybe on the DC jack).<br />Next time you should move the cut track on the last stripe under the 10uF and have the room to solder the 47uF/100uF on the last stripe, positive next the 100R and negative next the 220k.Elijah-Baleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16374916649117645180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-6021788120676692952019-12-07T11:55:40.750+00:002019-12-07T11:55:40.750+00:00It seems something related to isolation of leads/c...It seems something related to isolation of leads/cable..i really dont know but imo is not a big problem...at least, is a one more sound!zmnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13823419114752173306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-30682578808869683712019-12-07T07:49:48.015+00:002019-12-07T07:49:48.015+00:00I never solved this problem.I never solved this problem.Elijah-Baleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16374916649117645180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-62382123988190103142019-12-06T17:20:27.256+00:002019-12-06T17:20:27.256+00:00I built 2 FFactory and they are fine, but i have t...I built 2 FFactory and they are fine, but i have the same problem with both: drive ccw, i have a short oscillation when i play hard the low notes..this little oscillation disappear It i turn on stab a little..any suggest?
