After a wee bit of frustration I’ll call this one done! Discovered that having the littlest bit of wiggle in sockets can cause interesting issues. Let’s get the photos up first:
Plan at this point is for my long suffering, very artistic wife to add some artistic doodles between the stomps and in the corners.
So what were “interesting issues”? When it comes right down to it cheep sockets and my audio probe hiding in a dark, dusty hard to find place after several years of not being used. Initial fire up showed very low volume, really low. Continuity tests showed issues with both the Luna Fuzz and WattAmp. Not having all my tools readily available I started looking for bad solder joints and poking the transistors sitting in the cheep sockets. Eventually I got good continuity, put it back in the box, fired it up and got the same d*** thing. Back out of the box and on the bench I noticed stuff that I’d pushed back in was loose again. Added little kinks in the legs of the BS170s and BC108Cs, stuffed them back into the sockets, boxed it back up, and played with it till my fingers hurt. Three versions of the older DSOTM/Luna Fuzz have been on my board for years but the Phase and WattAmp are new to me – I like them.
