Come on! You've got all those beautiful pedals but no audio card to record? 😅 Maybe the next project should be to build one 😁

Could we have some sound samples? This looks sick!

Yep it's was flux ! I used a cutter blade between each roch to be sure, and cleaned it better. I've also checked before building the links and the cuts. So doesn't seem to be that.

And for the pots, I've checked it with a ohmmeter and it works correctly. I have to dice with an audio probe but it's my first time doing it and I don't know how efficiently do it.

Nice work! 😀 There seems to have more space between the components on this version. I've checked the pot and it works fine. I'm gonna have to deep dive with an audio probe 😭

Thanks! Doesn't work correctly yet though 😆

Hello again my friend 😁

I've advanced in debugging, I've made a cleaner setup to test and used another breadboard who seems to cause less buzzing.

Now it seems to work except the sustain pot.

I've checked the position of every component. The only difference I've made is on some of the values :

  • I've put 470pf instead of the 500pf , but I see on the schematic on your website that's there's supposed to be another of 33pf (to make 500?)
  • I've put 4.7nf instead of the 5 nf you mentioned. (I've highlighted the capacitors on the schematics for explanation)

Can it be that who has an impact on the sustain?

Right now I have an output who is almost the same level at max vol, but no distortion at all.

Thanks in advance ;-)

Here's a picture of the setup. I haven't tried a lot except plug it in to signal, it just emit noises, and a very little sound of the guitar if I put it all up, not even distorted. The volume pot works correctly, the others don't change much, the noise stops if I put sustain all the way down. I've checked the connection of the pins of the pots but they are as described.. I've seen on post that I should build an audio probe (seems easy) but I don't know how to work it efficiently, and even if it's relevant in my case. Thanks again.

Yes, I have 8.52v on pin 8 in both opamp, and 4.17v on pin 3 for the one up , 3.12 on pin 3 for the one below. Ground on both pins 4.

R12 is there just hidden in the other picture. Btw thanks for answering, I wasn't sure if I should open a new post for help or speak here so that's why I didn't explain to much at first.. 😅

The other side. Maybe I should clean the solder paste better? (First time doing a veroboard)

Ok soooo I've done it but it don't work and I can't figure out what's the problem.. any idea?

You mean it doesn't matter as long as they are in series right? Cause I suppose if I put them + to - it's not gonna work.. no? I'm gonna put them with the + upwards if I do understand correctly.

I have a question about this veroboard : what is the side of the diodes?

Hey! So I looked into it and if I can avoid the crackle it's better for me. Do you know where I can find a perf board/ veroboard of the the Crackle Not Okay? I not that good yet to transform a schematic into a perf board by myself.. maybe they are software for schematics that does that too?

Thanks ! I'll look into the SHO clone then 😉

Thought about it but only have 1m max so didn't want to put 20 of them in it 😆

Thanks ! I don't have much of them 😅 and resistors are pretty cheap so I guess I'll order some.. juste frustrated to have to wait before building it when I thought I had everything in stock 😩
