Tech Help - Projects Page / burned MAXX1044
September 08, 2013, 12:40:48 PM
hey guys i'm running i weird problem on my boneyard V1. The maxx1044 i used for the charge pump gets burned after 4-5 hours of playing i've change 2 of them the last week, i checked the pcb for shorts and its ok, i checked for power to groud continuity and its ok aswell. Is there anything else i should check, is there any logic that the problem is caused the  daisy chain 1spot along with an wah and a second drive i use ( i mean plugging unplugging while the pedal is on cause today it went off after i unplugged my wah while the boneyard was on)? or is the maxx1044 so fragile that catn handle the 9.46v the one spot gives and should i change it to an LT1054 maybe?
thanks

Tech Help - Projects Page / boneyard v1 problem
July 27, 2013, 01:41:52 PM
Hey guys this is my first post here seeking advice :) not much experience with pedals building but so far i've build 20-30 pedals mostly for me and some for my friends. To the point...i've build a v1 boneyard for a friend we tested here at my place after i've done with wiring with a crappy psu and sounded awesome no oscillation or anything also we test it with a one spot aswell. The guy called me today and told me that he has a whistle issue like the one we get from bad psu  so i told him to try it with a one spot and to check for bad grounding in the wall plug, he told me he test it in 4 different areas ( 2 studios and 2 rooms at his place) with 3 different psu's and it does the same. for reference i've build 4 of them with suggested part value except the crunch pot which i used 100k log, the high gain pot that i used 500k pot and shielded wires to input and output. I still believe that is a bad psu issue bad if you have any ideas on what else i should look that whould be a great help.
thanks
Harris
