Some research indicated that high gain pedals are prone to this problem - and a key symptom of opamp oscillation is the LEDs lighting up when no signal is present! I was able to solve this problem by rotating the switch & the input jack, and ensuring the input wire was out of the way of other components (as best as possible). Best solution would be a bigger box and better lead dressing on my part.<br />Pedal now functions 100% (so circuit verified and perfect), but the overall result is a bit disappointing compared to other distortion units. This unit has a flubby bass response, and falls apart when playing low strings on high frets (a telltale sign to me that you're not using a tube amp).<br />RADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13612570094600090647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-78749858713356273212013-03-06T12:50:51.264+00:002013-03-06T12:50:51.264+00:00Hi,

While the pedal works well with gain up to about 3 o'clock on the dial, when it is maxed out to 4 or 5 o'clock, there is a whistling noise coming from the pedal which is not feedback and cannot be stopped unless you roll down the gain or volume on your guitar. I opened the pedal and observed that the two red LED diodes are both lighting up when this happens. So put another way, when the gain is full, it seems those diodes are getting signal from the circuit (and getting overloaded) even when I am not playing.<br /><br />Any ideas anyone? I used all new parts from Tayda and Small Bear, and double checked values, so the problem is not there. Pedal works fine with the exception noted above, and the soldering is clean, so I don't think that is the issue.<br /><br />Could it be a bad cap (even though they were all new)? I could try switching out op-amps as I believe I another dual channel handy. Any difference between the 3mm LED specified here and the normal 5mm LEDs I have successfully used on other pedals? Alternately, could cap/resistor values need tweaking in the gain/feedback loops of the op-amps? Not sure where to start debugging this one. Thanks for any insights.<br />RADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13612570094600090647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-43564886019419183132013-02-04T07:32:56.990+00:002013-02-04T07:32:56.990+00:00I have build this,... and the result is good but I...I have build this,... and the result is good but I got problem with noise,..
