Here's some pictures! The last one is the schematic with all the resistors and capacitors highlighted that ARE working. Any help is greatly appreciate!!

Hi all!

So I just put together the current lover and I get no effect at all when the pedal is turned on. The LED lights up though. I do get a clean signal. I checked the IC voltages and it looks pretty good, except for a few differences here and there. All caps and resistors work only up to C15 and R21. The volume trim is the only trim working.

Here's the ic readings:

IC 1

1. 4.8
2. 4.8
3. 2.4 ...... should be 4.18
4. 0
5. 4.2
6. 4.5
7. 4.5
8. 9.3

IC2

1. 9.3
2. 4.6
3. 2.4......should be 4.85
4. Varies
5. 0
6. 4.6
7. 7.1.....should be 4.2
8. 7.1......should be 4.2

IC3 and IC4 are spot on

IC5, Spot on except for pin 7 was at 0....should be 7.8

IC 6 and 7 are spot on


Could it be a bad MN3007 chip?


Three more things that I should say:

1. D4 is for an LED but the directions show the LED hooked up down by the foot switch, so I just left it empty.

2. I accidentally soldered sockets in at 3 of the trimpot sites, So I just plugged the trimpots in, I would assume that this is totally fine.

3. I drilled initially for the effects loop but drilled poorly so I have a busted dpdt in one of the drilled holes just to fill the space. It's not in use!

Here's some pictures attached. I highlighted all the resistors and caps that are giving me a signal through an audio probe.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks!!!

....hmmm....and for some reason my browser crashes every time I try to add the photos. I'll have try again tomorrow - it's getting late here!

Hi all,

There seems to be so many off board wiring possibilities. I just put this together:

http://tagboardeffects.blogspot.com/2012/11/buzzaround-alike.html

What off board wiring would you recommend for it? I know madbean has this here on the site:

https://www.madbeanpedals.com/tutorials/downloads/StandardWiring_MBP.pdf

Would that do fine?

Also, what are a few basics that I can know, memorize and understand about off board wiring that can help me make good choices for future builds? Are their any essentials to know? Any thorough articles out there that can be recommended?

Thanks for your time!


Joe

Great! Thanks everyone!!

...Also, to be more specific, I'm looking for someone who has a pcb for a lovetone flange with no name.

Hi all,

I've been coming across the name Haberdasher here and there throughout old threads. Is that a site that creates pcbs or is it a member here? I can't find an answer when i search through the forum or when I google it. Just wondering! Thanks!
