Had this happen once. I added some items, logged out then after awhile needed to add some more and it just freezed on me. I tried it on 3 different computers (and web browsers). In the end I had to empty the cart and re-add everything

I bought $40 worth of components. Paid $16 for express shipping. It arrived 4 days later, but I also had to pay a $23 fee on top of my earlier payment.

So $40 of components for $40 shipping. It's only worth it if you really need the parts or if you have a huge order. Personally Im sticking with the 2-3 week slow ass shipping next time

I feel so stupid, I think I realized what the issue is - its a scratchy pot. The people on youtube are getting the exact sound I'm getting. I'll replace the pot first and then try your mod suggestions. Thanks again!

Thanks, its currently at 390R, Ill lower it to 330R

How would I diagnose if it is a bypass problem? When the pedal is off and I rock it there is no noise. If the pedal is on and I rock it (without the guitar plugged in) only then there is the wah-ish sound

Open Discussion / Need help "softening" the wah
January 12, 2014, 07:32:43 PM
I've recently bought another wah pedal. It's all fine, however there is a big issue: the wah is not quiet. Even if I do not have my guitar plugged in and if I rock the pedal back and forth it still produces the wah sound. It is fine when playing with distortion but pretty terrible for clean playing. If I play quietly and I rock the pedal this wah sound is louder then my input signal. Note the input signal is still getting "wah -ified", but the pedal is producing other noise (which also sounds like a wah) that is louder then my playing. I opened it up and there are some mods done:

1) True Bypass, with the buffer removed
2) The vocal mod (33k resistor -> 68k)
3) Whipple Inductor installed
4) Mid-boost mod is done (1.5k -> 2.2k)
5) Gain mode done

Unfortunately I am not sure what each mod does individually. My gut feeling is that I should lower the gain. Does anybody have any advice?

Take a look at this, I haven't created it but I find it pretty useful:

This is great, Im so excited to build these pedals. Just to clarify I can hook up two 3pdt switches and then have either the tonebender on, the fuzzface on or even both on?

Can't wait! Is the PCB package on a first come first serve basis? Or will you reorder more, if needed, until Dec 1?

General Questions / Re: Using a ICL7660SCPA

Thanks everyone! just purchased a bunch

Is there a difference between 7660S, 7660SCPA and 7600S CPAZ. The seller had all three in the title, so I assumed it was the same part

General Questions / Using a ICL7660SCPA
November 12, 2013, 03:36:42 PM
I am building the Supreaux Deux (here is the schematic: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B46z2J0FljLkeVpTMnVmeFJiU2s/edit?usp=sharing) and it calls for a tc7660scpa. I can't find those on eBay, so I was thinking of using an ICL7660SCPA. Would it work?

Very nice playing, the acoustic sounds way clearer then what I imagined. Just ordered a pair of WM-61As from ebay, surprisingly they are way cheaper then the JL ones for me. Ill post some pics here once I'm done with the build

thats a nice sleek build! Looks like the wm-61a it is. Did you record acoustic or electric? Do you remember from who you bought the wm-61as from? I am not sure if the sellers on ebay are offering the real electrolet or a clone
