Hey you guys!

Guess who put a diode in backwards and guess how long it took to figure that one out? Here's a hint almost all day minus 3 or 4 hours by the pool reading troubleshooting threads. On the plus side my contest entry just needs to be wired into the enclosure after the enviro cures in about 48 more hours.

That's a lot better than when I trouble shoot my latest delay pedal for hours because I didn't plug in the power each and every time I tried testing it.

"I swear I will figure this out without starting another "fine in bypass, dead when on' thread."

We've all been there.

Yesterday, I couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting any output engaged or in bypass on a kokbox. I wired the output jack backwards.

Couldn't read the thread title without thinking of...



My diodes have been trying to piss me off while in the right direction recently, two designs i've breadboarded (thankfully this only took 5-20 minutes each time to figure out at most with a DMM or this coulda driven me nuts) have had a silicon diode that is a dead short... I may have killed them in previous breadboarding escapades but still! I use breadboarding parts in builds, that coulda been hard to spot in a big circuit.

jimilee, If you win the contest you have to do the truffle shuffle and post to youtube.

Ahahahahaha ha I just might

Guess who was trying to figure out why his Chunk Chunk wouldn't work. Couldn't even get signal at the "in" point on the board. Kept shortening the wire attached to in to see if there was a short. Then I looked at the schematic to find other testing points once I got signal at the in.

I realized that I had mistook the ground connection at the end of the board as in. Put the in wire at the right spot and it fired up right away.
