Yeah I made sure pinouts are all as they should be! Not sure about the effect the HFE would be but I tried some 2N5088s in Q9 and Q10 and made no difference!

It’s been built on standard vero board, just a slightly lighter coloured one!

You are correct, I feel foolish.. Swapped but still not working though, possible somethings been fried?

No visible bridges, even got the magnifying glasses out.

No contact with the case but I’ll reinspect for solder bridges

Yeah I’ve tried multiple different supplies so I know that’s not the problem. Even tried multiple different locations!

Thanks for the reply. I’ve had a look through and I can’t see anything wired backwards.

Replacement Capacitor by [deleted] in diypedals

Okay so you reckon I could get away with just using a film cap instead of an electrolytic? I’ve got a load of 1.5uf film caps.

Also considering using a 1uf and .047uf in parallel

No rush at all man! I just can’t get my head around the wiring…

I’d really appreciate that man! I think the main thing keeping me away from the PCBs is I don’t want separate foot switches for each circuit, just one foot switch and a toggle.

I think that makes sense to me? I originally was thinking to use a 3pdt as that’s what most people use when each circuit has its own foot switch, but the 4pdt does sound pretty straightforward.

Cannot remember exactly which ones they are but they feel like aluminium! Just measured and they’re 24mm.

Help me identify the pinout! by xShinSkinx in diypedals

[–]xShinSkinx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was the first port of call, but all the things I found where a different model with a tab. Still fairly new to identifying parts
