well of course, but i would like to decide which to build first

Anybody got one? trying to decide between this and a Runoffgroove TriVibe.

all fixed, but not it sounds a little more "tubescreamer" than i remember, probably just a matter of dialing it, can't do it right now though got a current lover to finish

thanks for all the help

well that fixed it, good catch! but now when i screw it shut it doesn't work at all, and i'm too tired to keep opening it up to try and fix it and not find the problem, i'll look at it again tomorrow night.

Here is a pic with notes

well i'm stumped - the resistors on the switch all are good as far as i can tell, i checked the pin voltages and i got 2 that are off IC1-3 is 1.08 and IC3-7 is 3.66, everything else is pretty close - does anybody know if there are pin voltages i should be checking with the effect bypassed though as that is when i am having the problem.

should i start this again in another part of the forum?

well i don't think it is the resistors on the switch but i'll take the whole thing apart and check that as well as the pin voltages

thanks i'll definitely be checking that out

i have the resistors on the switch, i wonder if any of them are grounding out on my shielding, or would that just kill the signal entirely

version 3 maybe i should check that as well though

so i took it out of the board and it's pretty obvious wherever i put the sunking when it's off it's killing the signal going through. i pretty much only played with it on before so i guess i just never noticed. any suggestions? i guess i should just open it up and start checking pin voltages.

I built a buffered sunking and have been very happy sounds really good, happy couple of months. I finished a run off groove thor yesterday and tried it out, also very nice, worked great going direct into my amp. I added it into my board after the sunking and hey where did all the tone go? turned on the sunking and it sounded really good but wasn't quite what i expected, nowhere near the drive. I then took out the sunking and the thor sounded like it did when i had it going directly into the amp, put the sunking after it same thing, turned them both on - that's what i was expecting (way too much basically). is the buffer in my sunking screwed up? all i have is delay and modulation after the drive portion and i never noticed that the sunking was affecting those pedals, i didn't have time to pull everything off my board last night and test exactly what was happening i guess that's tonight's project.

any thoughts, i searched here but didn't find anything that seems relevant.

excellent thank you only thought to search here not out on the general interwebs

Is the NTE IC a direct replacement in a project like the Current Lover?

i have it's boxed up and sounding good right now ao i'm going to leave it for the time being and work on some other stuff

1 small issue, there is a bit of a hum that goes away when i touch the footswitch, any idea how to fix it, not a big deal but if anybody knows what the fix is it would be appreciated
