ooops! I said it was my first post but it wasn't... I don't remember i've post here before... maybe i'm getting old...

Thanks for the reply. I socketed the j201 and it sounds good to my ears but i would like to know other opinions since i have no other trannie to compare...

Hello, my first post here!

I built a Slow Loris but can't seem to find 2n5457 or 2n5458 at any local store... anyone used j201?

thanks!

Fixed!

I had wrong labeled resistors from my local store...  inside the bag labeled 22k were 470k. Now it is with the right resistors and working like a champ.

Anyway, thanks Brian!

volts on IC are ok.

Tomorrow I am going to borrow the last one I made for a friend, and works properly, and look for differences.

thanks, i'm going to check those volts.

This is the switch i am using:

i have used them before in previous builds and never gave me any trouble... i have triple checked my wiring; i believe it is ok...

Hey, thanks for the reply!

I am using a dpdt on on on switch and, as far as I can see it is wired right...

Where can I find the voltages expected at the IC?

  anyone?

Hello,

first post here!

I have built several deadringers and always worked right but this time it seems I can't make it work properly. The sound is good, as expected, but it doesn't cut drive when drive pot is at minimum. You can hardly hear any difference between the pot at minumum and max. It seems like always at max.

I have built 3 pcb's and all of them do the same. I have tried yanking the 1n34a, two 1n4007 instead of 1n914... i have solder 2 and 1 drive cables to get real 0 k's but no results...

Don't know what else to try... anyone has experienced something like this in his deadringer?

Thanks.
