OK, I'll post my question here.

I'm buliding Uproar and I have 1MB pot left and I'm thinking using it for gain, since it effects the amount of gain would that be too much or OK?

Thanks!

Great job, I thougt it was something like that but I rather ask  than mess things up all the way!

Thanks again, very much!

So if I got this straight, you have to place 10k resistor on PCB pad?

What about other wirings, does it stays the same?

I'm building Uproar as my next build so I'm really considering doing this mod also.

Cheers, Nejc

Simply look at the picture provided in the layout, where the Q's cut-off is located. Simple as that

E (emitter), B (base) & C (collector)

D (drain), G (gate), S (source)

For technical explanation, we'll need an expert since we're all "diode destroyers" Guess we can call ourselves now "transistor destroyers".

Great build awesome I should say! May I ask you what type of font you used?

I've measured voltages with Boss adapter, so is that OK concearning the voltages?

One question that bothers me: Is it possible that because of the bad wiring of gain and volume pots voltages on IC were not right??

Since I'm done with my EgoDriver and all the troubles I went through I've learned quite a lot. Also thanks goes to you guys being patient with my troubles trying to get this pedal done... Again thanks!

I've got another question concerning my problem. So is it possible that because of the bad wiring of gain and volume pots voltages on IC were not right?? Because I've measured them again and now they're like they suppose to be approx. 4.5; 0; 4.5 and 9V (mine Vs are 4.4; 0; 4.4 and 8.85V)??

Thanks again and have a great day!

If Brian or anyone could try making a PCB if managable of course... Got to have one of those REALLY high-gainers

Great day

I've rewired whole thing... It's seemns to be working now, it still gets sometimes that buzzy sound but that because of the toggle switches which I guess melted somehow (they're some Taiwan cheap-ones). I still don't know where was the main problem maybe soldering or maybe even wires, all of them were replaced with "stronger" ones, or maybe after all the toggle switches...

Great build! I'm getting done one myself too, but having problems

So I resoldered all of the parts , the orientation only matters for electrolytic and tantalum caps, right? Checked again all the values for resistors and caps, resoldered and checked the wiring for pots and switches it worked for like 5 minutes and than again it when all buzzy...

OK,I've measured the voltages and clearly is something wrong

They go like this:

1  |  1,5V  -  8  |  8,5V
2  |  1V     -  7   |  1,5V
3  |  1V     -  6   |  1,5V
4  |  0V     -  5   |  1,5V

EDIT: Something I noticed while trying to solve this major problem I rewired gain and volume pots because I thought there was the problem, so when I plugged in it's working but still "farty" sound coming out of it and still one of the LEDs is shining while playing. What I figured is really strange, I kinda connected (with my fingers ) all 3 pots and one LED started shining bit more and sound was coming clearer, the other LED still no response...

Does that ring any bells?

The thing is I have an analog MM, so I think it would be better to have a digital one, right? So pins 4 is (around) 0V and pin 8 is around 9V? It's measurments I found in other topics.

So if I got that straight I have to charge PCB with 9V and start measuring? (Do I have to unsolder any of the components?)

Doing this thing first time so that's why I ask so much questions

Will provide measurments on IC within this weekend.
