You are going to have to troubleshoot. I would start by re-flowing solder joints on and off board. I would double check all ground connections to make sure they are secure. I can’t speculate beyond that without looking at the pedal.
Thanks for the update.
I will get on that tonight. I think that happened back when I had my mini-stroke and I forgot to update it.
Yes this works.
You simply wire to one of the outer lugs (either) and of course the center lug and you now have an SPST.
For a basic explanation see the top of page 23 in our Beginner’s Guide to Components found on the Guides Page.
The MKC Build Document has been gloriously updated!
Hi and welcome,
The 3PDT Board has its own Build Guide located on the Guides Page under Master Build Document List
Once you see that you will notice the LED is placed incorrectly. The Off status is the Non-White Pad.
Also be careful you are not shorting out the PCB to the enclosure with the solder joints on the back.
Try some of our non-conductive Gum Wadz or similar to secure it to the base once you are sure it is working correctly.
Everybody starts at the beginning 😉
Sweet!
I love it and it is great for bashing out a few power chords while stomping on a Gob.
Thanks for sharing!
That looks awesome and so damn cute in that tiny Lime enclosure.
The question I ponder is how much more green can this be and the answer is none. None more Green!
Well done and thanks for sharing!
Very Nice! Thanks for sharing!
I love this circuit and with the added Boost stage (and accompanying control knob) you can take this circuit places the original could never go. It is easy to test the difference by simply rolling the “Boost Control” down to (0) which would basically be stock and then from (0) to Full Up is all new territory!
Yes biasing the extra stage is important and I am glad you like it.
“hehe Barry, having emerald ring on a footswitch would be really nice, I may try to work that out if I do another for someone.”
I am not sure but I am thinking a foot switch may fit right where you have the toggle switch now without bumping the other switches during activation especially if you put one of those Foot Switch Toppers on it?
I would add a Ground wire beside main board +9v and connect it to the a nearby 3PDT wiring board ground pad.
I just noticed that.
Looks fantastic Chris and thanks for sharing. I bet the Emerald ring is an excellent addition to the combo.
I might consider trying that myself on a foot switch for just that moment of extraordinary squeal.
Archaic is right. If you look at the Master Build Doc list you will notice all Docs with an asterisk in front of them are ones that I have updated thus far and MKC is on the list next. This is one of the few old ones left to do. Everything you have mentioned above is correct and the wiring diagram will work fine.
You needed to use a transistor with a similar pinout the Subs you used are opposite pinout of the 2N5089. I would suggest a 2N5088 which does have the same pinout or flip the ones you have.
