 I tried taking the pedal off my daisy chain and powering with a 9v batt but didn't fix the squealing. it only happens when i turn the gain to 10. there isnt much "fuzz" from 1-8 though...its more like a clean boost until the gain is turned to 9.

unfortunately i couldnt find transistor sockets locally...so i soldered the trannys to the pcb. right now i'll probably have to de-solder them but i hope i dont have change all 3. perhaps someone might know which tranny might be the problem..if there is a faulty transistor that is.

completed this build last night but when the gain is cranked to 9 or 10, the pedal squeals...I tried troubleshooting by changing guitars, power source etc but the problem remains.

I used 2n5222 and BC109 transistors. Right now i think it could be a faulty bc109? this is my first build so I'm not sure how to fix this... need some help from the tech guru haha..

What IC did you use in your build? Im going to embark on an eternity build soon, i've always wondered whats the difference between the 'burst' and 'black' version

i couldn't tell its fabric from the pics... didnt see any seams round the corners and edges, very neat!

I used some spray-on acrylic ( i think) lacquer. I can't say it worked a 100%, the paper started to crumple when the lacquer dried. i had to press and flatten it down after a couple of coats. should have used a stronger glue to hold the paper down.

wow very clean build! (thumbs up)

@Kaleb, bigmuff, nzcdog thanks for the comments!! i got a couple more layers of lacquer on today. going to get the correct drill bits, lacquer and then i suppose its just a long wait for the parts from mammoth electronics.

@sgmezei woah i love the skauger drive how did you get the graphics onto the box?

my first post and first pedal build..i just prepped the enclosure...the pcb arrived from brian (Thanks dude!)
im just waiting for the rest of the parts to arrive in my mail box. cant wait

my manga-inspired box (i just thought it'll be easier to paste something on the box instead of painting it)





am going to layer a couple more coats of lacquer and then its time to drill the holes. not sure if i should've drilled the holes first? anyway thats all for now
