Oh yeah and I couldn't find a schematic for the delux pitch pirate. Just some Russian on of the regular pp.

I just built a valve mic and gat pre I will post up later too. I'd like some feedback on it

Hey guys! I just wanted to thank you all for your advice on the ticking of the pedal. I will employ all of the ideas you have given me and see what happens! I will put I picture up for you guys when I m home from work! Sorry for the late reply. I was confused about the chip sorry I meant the 4558/ dual op for the lfo

Bumb. Can anyone help me?

Hi guys. My first post here

I've got a few years experience building pedals for myself. Self taught from the internet and some of my dad's old school knowledge.

I've built a pitch pirate with this layout.
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JdogY2DcEGs/VSVhdyGGnuI/AAAAAAAAEfY/37zbVXzyCMM/s1600/MidFi%2BDLXPP.png

It works amazingly except for a tick in the lfo which I can get to go away.

I have it wired very tidy
I have a lm358-n in there which I know is a commonly used chip for lfos like this one(also I've tried others tl072, 4558 etc).
I have isolated the lfo power with a 200ohm resistor and a 10uf cap from the v+ pin back to ground.

But still it ticks!

It's not noise from the pt2933 because if I pull the voltage regulator out the pt noise goes leaving just the tick off the lfo!

So my two questions are.

What type of lfo is this specifically?

And can I somehow alter the waveform to be more of a shark tooth waveform. Ala the stomboxology mod that I have seen mentioned on alot of lfo help topics? It adds a resistor and cap to the lfo but I'm not sure that it is the same type of lfo as in the pitch pirate.

I've built 2 clari cubed's and had the exact same problem after trying all these fix's

How would I do that?

Where should I start?

I would appreciate any help from someone who knows about this stuff.

I can post pics of my build when I get home from work.

Thanks from NZ!

Luke.

Update!
Ok so I found the schematic on a Russian site

Looking at the lfo section can anyone help me with what components I could add/change to soften the edges of the waveforms?
