I believe you are correct, Wilkie1. Thanks for popping in. I’ve tried this with just the BnB as well as a 3 stage booster in series with the Super Fuzz and BnB. I only get clean on both sides of the BnB balance knob. Although, the clean signal is a tad bit louder when the Balance knob is turned fully towards the clean side of the blend. It’s as if my clean signal runs through the SF without grabbing any of the fuzz…. Very strange. I’ve built hundreds of pedals over the years, but this is my first foray into the Buff n Blend. I now have four separate Buff n Blends all wired up, think I’ll use a couple on the Emexar pcbs. Those should work fine, from what I understand.
Thank you for the suggestions. I took everything apart, tried SF by itself, worked great. Build another BuffnBlend and wired that and the SF together. When the BnB Balance knob is turned toward clean, I get a good clean signal. When it’s turned the opposite direction, I get a faint clean signal. I then, again built another stage 3 and wired that into the mix and now I get a clear clean signal when Balance is turned toward clean and a louder clean signal when the Balance knob is turned the opposite direction. I’m guessing the BnB just doesn’t get along with the PedalPCB Super Fuzz circuit.
Alright, I’m a dummy. The secret sauce for infinite repeats mod is RA and not the trimmer, which makes perfect sense now that I’m thinking more about it, as the WF mod bypasses TR1. So, if anyone else comes across this issue, RA needs to be reduced lower than the 8k2 it calls for. 5k1 is a good start, but quickly gets very loud and begins to distort after around 3-5 seconds. 6k2 gives you infinite repeats without the super loud/distorted repeats. Hope that helps someone down the road!
Got the pedal back. Realized I misspoke earlier regarding TR1’s value (mistakenly calling it 100k). I’ve verified that it is, indeed, a 5k trimpot as per build docs. Still no loud or infinite repeats when the momentary (NO) footswitch is depressed. Only very subtle trails. This is happening on both D’Lay w/ Tap Tempo that I built. Aside from that, everything else works perfectly. I don’t suppose anyone can point me in the right direction? Thank you kindly.
