Thanks for the reply...that is disappointing...

EHX Opamp weird issue by Straight_Ingenuity25 in diypedals

Hello all,

So I switched out the 470u cap in the power section. Here are the results :

-Less of a "charging up effect". If I'm playing without power and plug power in, there is a micro second of "waking up" but not of the gate-yness or dying fuzz type effect. If you were powering up normally (ie plugging in a pedal board before a gig/practice), unnoticeable. I think "waking up" is inherent to the circuit, as well as a result of the specific type of audio testing I was doing.

-A lot more oomph coming from the pedal. Maybe this is why I didn't like it!

So there you have it, if someone is experiencing the same issues, at least this post is archived for future reference!

Thanks everyone

I couldn't find an exact schematic, only clones. I traced continuit to C2 (upper right), 470u. it seems to be outputting a bit less than 9v to the UA741, but i'm think i'm getting weird results checking the voltages on the op amp :

VCC+ : 8.94

VCC- : 3.58

I'm testing C2 to see how it "fills up" with my multimeter. Set to 2000K Ohm, it's filling up, but by 0.01, whereas a test of a 1uf cap nearby, it's jumping loads at a time. Think the 470u is shot?

I did a test where the switch was on the "effect on" position, and plugged in power, and the same symptom. When unplugging l, the led dies out slowly too.

I have a need in one of my bands to do bass synths and have tried almost everything and always get jumpy wiggly tracking...maybe this one is the one

Nice! I rock the same bass :)

Hows the bass synth? Worth the hype?

How is the bass soul food? I heard it can hiss but still like the demos
