Hi All,

[I just tried to post this and it didnt work, so apologies if there is a double somewhere].

Ive had a Mudbunny 2011 PCB sitting around semi populated for a while now and just decided to finish it off for a friends Bday.

Problem is i cant get any sound. The pots scratch and and the volume pot will scratch until you turn it down when it will kill all noise - so i can assume that is working..??

It is all to Green Russian Specs except:
C10= 3n3
C2= 330pf

2n5088 Voltages [ive double checked all the transistors, replaced them all and tried again, etc]

Q1
e-0.137
b-0.73
c-4.5

Q2
e-1.07
b-1.528
c-8.76

Q3
e-0.94
b-1.35
c-8.12

Q4
e-0.88
b-1.48
c-4.9



Ive just reflowed all the solder joint, so i can be relatively sure it isnt that.

I've also traced the PCB using a probe and found signal until the far side of C7.  I have also replaced C7 to make sure it isnt that. 


Im really running out of ideas here - if anyone had any ideas that would be amazing.

Thanks in advance!!

Thanks very much guys,

I am quite proud of it, and it is surprisingly easy.  A lot more room to fit everything in.

@jonrhee - It's pretty stable, it's not on my pedalboard atm, but stepping on it is fine.  I've found that the output and imput jacks need to be really tightly bolted onto the enclosure or its a bit iffy when you are pulling the leads in and out all the time.  Nothing a bit of care doesnt prevent (or just leaving it in the chair all the time)

Cheers,

Hey Guys,

This is my third Madbean Build, but the first ive put up on here. 

The 'Vespa' Firebomb.










I found the tin in Italy, and brought it home thinking it would make a nice pedal.  Hope you like it.

Cheers,
