Sorry, I didn't had time to get back to you guys earlier. I fixed the problem of having almost no signal, so thanks for all the help. turned out to be a grounding problem on the board, but S2 is still in its place... I found it difficult to use the v3 board and the v2 wiring diagrams, but it worked!

Now I'm only left with the monotone sound (not really a hum) in the board. I changed out all the ICs and that didn't fix it. The quest continues!

Yes thats what I did, right?

pics, let me know if you need more.
sorry for the sloppy wiring, but I always try to make it work first before making it tight and clean.

Hi,

I've had this pcb for a while now, and decided to complete the build.
I soldered all the components to it and wired it as well as I could (true bypass), using the old manual (http://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/Sunking/docs/Sunking_ver.3.pdf) and omitted the C3, r3,4,28,29,30 and added the 1M rtb. It turned out to be more complicated, because I have a ver. 3 board and the wiring in the manual uses the ver. 2. But I think I've managed it.

I tried to test it for the first time, plugged in the AC jack and got a clean signal. When I engaged the pedal, I got a monotone sound and (almost) no signal. When turning the pots, I can hear in the signal they have effect on the signal.

The IC's all get voltage, but I don't seem to be able to find the problem.

Could anyone help?

Thanks
Sander

Hi,

I'm building an Aquaboy deluxe delay but I can't find the bourns 25k trim pots for the Bias (I live in Holland and the companies that do have them charge €20 shipping fee). Is it possible to use an 50k pot and just use the bottom half range of this pot?

I hope to hear your thoughts on the alternatives. I hope that there are some because 20 euros shipping for 5 pots seems a little extreme

Regards
Sander
