Glad you got it working! Nice one.

Just a thought... I had this issue with a Laney LC 30 a few years back. Cleaned all valve and jack sockets, especially the effects loop which had been underused, with contact cleaner and it solved the issue. Not sure it will help, but might be worth a pop?
I always take the easy route first if I can. 
Good luck!

De-lug it!

Dead Astronaut's chasm is epic! Built one of his boards and it's a mainstay on my pedalboard. Can't recommend it enough!

Same here with firefox...

Nah, it ain't too big. This looks really exciting! Belton brick without the horrible modulation... I'm in!
Nice work buddy. 

This is an amazing idea. I wish I'd had this opportunity about 20 odd years ago!
It's the sort of experience that you remember for life.
Mind you, your youtube videos have helped me to solve countless issues.
Count me in on a copy of the DIYGP book 
Nice one man!

Look after yourself bud. Health first!

Really love personalised one offs for mates. New thread?
That is really neat work for a 1590A. My equivalent wiring would match my bikini line!
Take it easy,

They'll be just fine  .. Generally it's a good plan to at least double the voltage e.g. 9v = 18v plus. That way you reduce the risk of damage. Mixing voltages isn't an issue, as your circuit shouldn't get anywhere near the 25v, 100v, etc. See it as a maximum, like headroom. Hope that makes sense? Size doesn't matter ( I keep telling myself!  ) .... Best of luck with your build. The leviathan is a great delay.

Sounds like an epic project!

No problem at all. I find pcb builds a lot more fiddly too, but they are definitely worth the effort, and help to support the geniuses behind them! Another thought. For smaller things, I tend to use 0.5mm solder 40/60. its a lot easier to work with. Standard 1mm for vero, etc. Lead free is a pain in the backside. Was something I discovered the hard way! Just ignore this if I'm stating the obvious, but sometimes the little things get lost in the excitement of this hobby. It's all a learning curve, but well worth it 

In ear/personal distortion funtimes... This is insane! I can barely see the value of dip 8 ops without a magnifying glass 

Also. The first board I ever soldered was hard work as my iron was junk. Didn't heat efficiently and just glooped the solder. Just a thought.

Paul's videos are really useful. Simple explainations and very easy to follow. Here is one of his playlists. Good resource imo. Good luck. The cavedweller is well worth getting sorted. Patience and perseverance.... Wasn't that my school motto? Best,
Toby
