And the board was kicking around in my “backlog” box for quite a while before I got back to it, so we can’t rule out that it took some damage during all that time.

Plus, like you said I’ve built the DSOTM combo and one or two other small things and had no problems with those. So no worries at all.

I saw there should have been a signal getting from C1 to R2, and on looking closer the trace looked a little funny – turns out that was because it isn’t there:

So I tacked a wire on there, and sure enough,…Read more

I looked to see if a different cap got in there somehow, but none have the polarity markings like above.

Here are the TL072 voltages (as close as I can get, let me know if I need to measure anything else). This is with the switch active / LED on:

  1. 4.4v
  2. 4.4v
  3. 4.0v

    4. …

I have gotten the NostalgiTone 60s triple combo together, and the tremolo and fuzz sound great, but the overdrive will not pass any signal. I get some white noise if I turn the volume up pretty high, but whenever it is activated (regardless of order switch) no guitar signal.

Things I have tried:

  • Made sure the TL072 is getting +9v on…

I don’t have one at the moment since I sold my old Small Stone (and this is a pretty different sound from that anyway). The wattamp/fuzz is a really nice combination that makes me want to see if I can pull off the solo from Money on the UK2, but frankly I’ll need to…Read more

Went together almost perfectly and the only mistake I made was putting the TL074 in backwards ???? but miraculously it…Read more
