have finally finished putting together this Zero point, and have a couple issues. first the repeats are fuzzy, 2nd the feed back pot does nothing. I have checked all connects w/ a magnifying glass and all seem to be good. I had also ordered a A50k pot as well as the B50k, because of the comments about the B50 in the feed back position on this forum. I cant get either one to do anything. any suggestions would be very grateful. I have also traced back all components I could from the schematic and the all appear to be ok
Thanks again

Thanks, I will get out the magnifying glass when I get home

Thanks for the help. I have posted an update labeled no sound on plexi tone build below. With updates. I have stripped it right down to test setup. Same results.

This thing is killing me ! I originally had this all boxed up then discovered I had pots in backwards on the board. it all worked put 10 was all the way left and zero all the way left on all the pots. So I removed and re installed them all the way they are supposed to be, plugged in and played through pedal but then turn on pedal and silence. Through much examining discovered that when I would strum guitar all the LEDs that are used as diodes would light up. so I pulled out of the box stripped it down to a 9v battery and an in and out , plugged in and same results, cranked up amp and can hear very faint guitar coming through. I just checked the pots with OHM tester and they are all still good and in all 5 are in proper placement on the PCB. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

having a tough time getting pictures on here. looking at build though I did run some wires out the bottom of board instead of out the top for convenience, would that be a problem ? I just figured that soldered is soldered.

I used kit from tayda and yes I did have in wrong. New issue I took pedal apart re attached pots and wired up. Had stomp buttons in incorrectly as well. But it did come on and effect worked. Now after re wireing I can play through it but when I turn it on. Silence !  Ugh. All 3 led lights come on but no sound !!

Am curios about orientation. I just completed a plexi clone build and it apears that all my pots are reversed, as in all the way left is zero and left is 10.

thanks, ive got a couple 220pfs and 100pfs I will try out  if doesn't work out I will definitely hit you up, thanks again

While I'm waiting on the parts for my zero point DD I've started another project and again wound up with wrong cap, diagram calls for a 330 pf cap. I received 10 33 pf caps instead but do have some 220 pf caps around. Can I use those ? If so what difference will the lower value cap have. Just out of curiosity can I use say a 220 and a 120  run in parallel to get the 330 ? Sorry I'm new to this kinda stuff but have defiantly caught the bug

Thanks for the help, I have already ordered the correct regulator from Tayda, along with a bunch of other stuff I don't really need

so would that be causing the high pitch squeal im getting ?

I have just discovered that I received the wrong regulator for this build instead of the 78L05 I received a 78L33. I have discovered that if I turn the delay pot down all the way the high pitch tone stops. turn just a bit and it comes back. only my 4th pedal build the other 3 were OD and Dist,

Need a little help w/ a zero point DD build. mostly finished last night and went to rock it before i box it, as they say, and as soon as I plugged in guitar cables pedsal started... not sure. My first thoughts were it was osculating, amp wasnt even on but could hear the pedal making the noise. After reading through the forum  maybe its clipping and i need to change out 1 of the pots to a A50k? any help would be great
Thanks

Figured it out, thanks

I'm guessing I have the newer version. Led on board. Not sure what you mean by round side ? Positive leg of led to board and negative to lug 1 ? Sorry new to this kinda thing
