Guys, I have built a sharkfin. I used bf245a jfets, 2n3904, bc560, and all of the ic's from the bom. The sample hold sounds great. The filter is just really dark and none of the attack, decay, or range pots seem to do anything. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, are there any ways to get something useable out of the filter? Thanks

Id really like to build the original loophole but my pcb etching skills are not so great.  Since madbean doesnt have any for sale right now, maybe someone has an extra lying around.  email me at onthetundra@gmail.com
Thanks

Hey people,

I built my Low Rider and it sounds good but it has one issue.  The DOCT1 is not really functioning.  When I turn all of the other pots down and that pot up I can hear it very faintly and when I turn it down the faintness goes away.  The other pots work normally and the OCT up and DOCT2 are both loud and sound good.  Ive tried replacing all of the IC's and that hasnt helped.  Is there anything that jumps out right away as a possible problem?  Thanks,
Mark

Like the title says, I got the boards today but the instructions arent linked on the projects page.  Can I find them elsewhere?  Please emai me at Onthetundra@gmail.com

Hey Ive built 3 of these choruses and they all have ticking that is not fixed with the trimmer.  If I turn the trimmer to the point where the ticking stops, then the chorus effect is gone too.  Is there a simple way to filter this ticking out?  Thanks,

Is there any way to wire the Pork barrel up for Stereo output? Please Say yes.  I already drilled my enclosures. Thanks

So I put together another sunking pedal and it has a negative quirk.  The active signal sounds awesome.  When the pedal is on its amazing.  The problem is when its off, theres no passive signal and its making a really shitty buzzing, farting, dying computer sound.  I thought maybe its the switch.  That didnt work.  Maybe its a wire. Nope.  Why would the active signal sound perfect and then there be no passive signal?
Thoughts?

Thanks

Hey Ive got a question for ya...

Im wanting to put maybe 4 small simple fuzz circuit boards in one box and make it so i can switch from one to the next with a rotary switch. This would use only one input/output/power source/ and 3pdt switch.  Would I use a 2 pole 8 position switch and run the input wire from each board onto the four positions of one side of the rotary switch with the input wire from the input tip to that side's pole and then do the same for the output on the other side? Then just wire all the rest of the wires to their regular spots?  Im not sure if this would work as described but your thoughts would be great to hear.

I bought some rangemaster OC44s from small bear and Ive put together two boards.  Both are wired correctly and all of that but in place of C1,C2, and C4 ( the ones that were stated as not needing to be electolytic) I used orange drops.  I do get some signal but its very weak and distorted.  Is this my problem?
Im using regular polarized axial electro caps for the other 2.  What should I do?
Thanks

Side question, how do I wire in a status LED?
