...Hi guys. Thank you for that layout - great work! <br />I've just finished one with problems (of course), but all working great now. I used 50K Log pot for sustain, it works much better for me and 2N2222, because I have those (reversed pinout). Question: (somebody asked before, but was not answered) the second stage should work on its own with sustain all way down. It doesn't. Is there a simple way to "fix" it?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576591843669425062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-31426880111296165342016-03-22T00:30:09.499+00:002016-03-22T00:30:09.499+00:00did any one you noticed the comment of Mamabonassa...did any one you noticed the comment of Mamabonassau concerning the original plimsoul that has a 18 voltage pump ? ...<br />if that is true, this whole builds done so far by all of us might have just been failures from the start :)<br />I got mine working.. with the annoying oscillation.. still not throwing this in the trash - any ideas ?!<br /> Fingaauuzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12304448967394746654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-9328936909069507042016-03-22T00:19:29.816+00:002016-03-22T00:19:29.816+00:00the LED lights up for me as well.

I swore I did the layout 100% and kept the soldering pretty neat and skimmed over for accidental stray jumps. I was hoping maybe I just screwed up the lug soldering or whatever. Damn.

I usually etch boards and have built a few off veto but i was testing this before boxing and am getting such a faint noise from it that i barely hear when I strum loudly. Everything on the layout matches but I'm trying to understand if I NEED to connect a ground to both ground strips and if I can just connect the the wires for multiple holes together on the pots. Like connecting pin 2 and 3 on hi cut with one wire to pin 1 of volume. Sorry for the noob questions just trying to understand things I normally don't see.

They sound amazing except for when I raise the sustain after 2 - 3 a clock there is a unwanted odd oscillation coming up, I can filter some of it out using the Hi-Cut pot when I turn it to Cut.. CCW.<br />Would anyone of you can suggest me a better modding or some tips to get rid of this oscillation? It defiantly doesn't sound like its a normal feedback from amp, but a sharp high tone beep.<br />thanks!!

Would this be a worthwhile addition? How does it run at 9v?

But I have sold other pedals I've built for myself and got bored of or decided I don't want. <br /><br />This pedal is about as new and original as a pyramid in Vegas and I'd have no problem building it for someone who wanted one. Same for any Fulltone pedals because I really don't like the man at all, he's someone who has built a business on selling clones and then has the gall to viciously criticise anyone else who does it. <br /><br />I'd have no problems building a Fulltone anything for anyone. A lot of builders deserve some considerations, but Fulltone and companies like Vemuram are open season as far as I'm concerned.IvIarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416945174853142251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-32008633170298509132015-02-14T07:27:34.249+00:002015-02-14T07:27:34.249+00:00So, how do you guys do this then?

Do you sell them to pay for other pedals? Or, maybe make a run of two,or three and keep one and sell the others. This is definetely trippy. I mean I'm no expert but like has been said above it seems to <br />me after reviewing schematics and layouts for a little time there starts to be a pattern of things going on here with all of these pedal designs. Well anyways, I guess everyone has there journey with things but that paragraph was definetely a bummer to read. Don't we all got to kind build these clones to start to understand what is going on. So, I guess the real q's I have for everyone is are you selling pedals? Anyways, this is a great site and want to thnk everyone who is contributing. Maybe one day I will be able to give back...thnx!!!!Blackwinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16864575046719143800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-29542924329466955802015-01-11T12:07:41.951+00:002015-01-11T12:07:41.951+00:00Yes I was having a laugh about that with Miro a wh...Yes I was having a laugh about that with Miro a while ago.

To be honest since they're clipping diodes, it really shouldn't matter as long as one has the negative end towards the top of the board and one towards the end bottom of the board. What you could do if you're worried is to take and put sockets in and you can try them in different directions.
