Hello Guys!
I'm new here, i'm starting to get into diy pedals. This cherrybomb is my first build ever and my knowledge is very little. I've been reading and researshing a lot tho.
So, the sound works the the pedal is bypassed.
It does power up, (the led lights, even tho I could only get the 3mm to work. I had a 5mm LED that dident work i dont know why, tried 2 5mm LED none worked but the 3mm did).
The power goes to the board, it measures 9.04v.
I measured my transistors and the voltages are:
Q1 -
E - 0.40
B - 0.93
C - 1.59
Q2
E - 0.97
B - 1.59
C - 5.31
Q3 -
E - 0.88
B - 1.48
C - 5.64
How I said, my knowledge is very little, but as far as I could research it seems like they are with right voltages (I may be wrong tho).
I also tried following up the signal with the multimeter if i connect to in and out, there's no connectivity, and then i dont really know how to follow up the signal to make sure were it's shorting.
Can someone give me some help?
Thank you very much!
I am pretty new to this and can't really diagnose anything. However, I made a Cherry Bomb a week or two ago that didn't work - I did not use all BC109. I also used the other two in the BOM. If you did that as well, the legs on the non-BC109s needed to be crossed. Once I crossed them, it fired right up.
this is also good to watch. you can probe through the signal path and see where it dies

Here are some pics of it - (I Know its a mess! first time, second will be better!) lol

I used BC109 , and I believe I got them in the right position!
Im gonna watch this video to see if I can follow the signal!
I watched the video but couldnt really follow up much on how to do it.
Is there a way i can do it with the multimeter?
I dont have a 10nf capacitor, could I use a different cap?
Does the transistors voltages look right?
Sorry guys!
I fucked it up and changed the sides of the in and out jacks. Inverted the cable and it works! And sounds pretty badass!!!
Thank you!!!
