VFE Bumblebee - no swell

[zachlovescoffee]

Okay here is a full voltage chart for the switching board. The relay chip seems a little odd (all 0's unless indicated) as well as some of the resistors around it. But maybe I don't know squat. The pedal was switched to power on.

Your relay is in upside down. The line on top of the relay should match the build doc

Daaaaammnn good catch. We all missed that one.

Happy Easter! I predict that the electrons will raise from the grave when I get home from the in-laws later today.

If the relay is upside down then how is any of the signal making it to the board? It's just flowing backwards through the same input and output pins? Somehow inverting the signal or acting as a massive resistor cutting the flow?

I'm still learning to read schematics and understanding what each circuit does. So forgive my ignorance please!

That did it baby!!!! Now we're cooking with sauce!

Swell is working, though not tuned yet and the level works. This thing gets looooud! So excited!!!

Awesomeness

Pretty much got the swell dialed in - could be a little closer to perfection but it's def playable. I just have to get it boxed up now! I've re-thought my art concept. I'm going to go with one of those jade/emerald green Gorva boxes and call it the 'Jade Roller'. Kind of a tongue in cheek for those things that chicks use to smooth out their faces.
