Tech Help - Projects Page / HELP. Pedal Pop Oscillation
January 13, 2014, 10:06:36 PM
Hello. I recently acquired a Voyager and when the pedal is engaged, a choppy, tremolo effect turns on, the volume of which increases when the volume is turned up. All other knobs do nothing. Also, sometimes the pedal's LED turns on and the popping noise is gone, but there is still no effect. Any clue as to what may be causing this? Thanks in advance.

I initially had red LEDs in and was still getting the same stuttering effect the harder I strummed.

The IC is the LM308N. The diodes are two LEDs, two 1N914s, and one 1N4001, all of which are oriented correctly. The no effect problem that I began with was a grounding issue and now I only have the lack of substantial RATness and the in and out choppiness I get the harder I play. I attempted to upload photos, but when I do, it tells me that the upload folder is full despite the photos being less than 1000KB. I really appreciate the help, guys. Thanks.

Now, the issue is that I get tone, but just not RAT tone. My volume is maxed and from my RAT experiences, maxed volume is dangerous. Also, when I attack the strings hard, the effect chops up. What the hell is going on here?

Ok. When I first plugged in after wiring it up, I got sound only when the input cable was halfway in the input jack. Also, the sound I got was certainly not a RAT sound; the volume and gain were all the way up and it just did not sound like a RAT. After taking some advice from this forum, I rewired and now I only get a loud hum from the pedal. I'm relatively new at pedal building so take it easy on me and I highly appreciate the help.

I must have followed something incorrectly because I only have two solder points on my input jack. Where is the third supposed to go?

Now I only get the effect (a weak effect) when the input cable is only half way in?

So, where on the board would I connect the power supply to? The board has a square and circle pad. Thanks.

Ok, guys. I'm wiring up my Slow Loris and have to somewhat of an issue in regards to wiring the power supply jack. On the wiring diagram, it shows the jack connected to a battery snap which I have no intention of using. Can someone please help me by explaining what gets connected to the power supply jack? thanks in advance.

I'm building the Slow Loris in an enclosure with drilled holes that won't allow me to used board mounted pots or the toggle. My problem stems from this in that the holes on the board seem rather large to facilitate the pot wires. Any suggestions? Thanks.

hello folks. I've got my zombii built but the volume knob doesn't fluctuate the volume when turned. Any help or suggestions? Thanks

How would you wire a 6 prong footswitch for the Zombii Fuzz Factory clone?

So its nothing that's going to hurt my pedal though, right?
