Hey guys, building a stage fright and I'm think it would be cool to have manual control of the phase position like you do in an EHX Bad Stone. Maybe expression pedal controlled too? I've build a few pedals but as far as designing/modifying circuits I'm a novice, so if anyone can help me on where I'd start that'd be awesome, thanks!

Okay voltages are measured and something seems odd with IC1
IC1:CA3080     IC2:LM1458      Q1        Q2          Q3
1- 0                 1-5.37             1-4.6     1-0.60      1-5.3
2-5.3               2-5.30             2-4.77    2-5.26     2-5.7
3-5.3               3-5.30             3-9.77    3 -5.27    3-9.77
4-0                  4-0
5-0.60             5-5.3
6-4.42             6-4.3
7-9.77             7-5.3
8-0                  8-9.77

(the soldering on the pots looks bad but the connection is being made)

I finished putting the Kraken envelope filter together and it passed sound when off but when turned on no sound is passing. I checked my switch and pots wiring and both are correct. I'm assuming it's to do with the ICs but I'm not sure what voltages I should be seeing.

Q2 is getting 120+ mV

I don't mean to be annoying but I want to get this pedal fixed for a show coming up at the end of this month. All help will be greatly appreciated!

This helped a lot, thank you!

I am building an overdrive, fuzz, and compressor in one enclosure and I want to add a switch that will allow me to place the compressor before of after the dirt pedals. How would I go about this?

I've swapped out Q1 and Q3, still only half working

im not getting any signal out of pin 14 of IC3

I did get audio going into pin 15 and out of pin 14

I've narrowed it down to IC2 being the problem. I've swapped out the PT2399 several times and none of them produced delay. Now I'm thinking it could BC550 transistor but I'm not sure.

I built a Deathklaw dual delay and it seems to only be half working. I get delay but it's nowhere near endless repeats into self-oscillation like it's supposed to be and the delay only come into effect when I engage the ghost switch even though the effect is on. I'm thinking it has to do with the PT2399 ICs so I ordered some to swap out. Hopefully someone understands this more than I do and can advise me on what to do. thank you
