TGD Build! Ask yo motherfuckin' questions here!

[Bellyheart]

Still waiting. Want it bad!

It is here

[Bellyheart]

Finished!

I think I may have something to fix though...it plays but when I touch the pedal the buzz goes way down...or is that just it operates?

sounds like you've got a faulty ground. Check them ground solders!

[Bellyheart]

Yeah, but turns out, it was my guitar not the box...forgot that volume pot and switch are fucked and hum if it's not at full volume and now that it is no more sounds.

Good job on this box Aen. First build I made and took me four hours. Got to do the Robot Devil and beg for a Hax.

If we can get our fucking feet back under us one day, we'll do a Hax kit. These days we are having way too much of an awesome time catching up with orders and pitchgrinders and the TGD kits.

ok, totally lost
helped a friend build his TGD and it is not working
It has sound in bypass
when engaged the LED comes on and there is sound but with a volume loss
I went through all the connections and it all looks fine
the pots kindof make a scratchy sound when turned but don't do anything


help!

[Officer Bukowski]

Fear not. Double check the orientation of the electrolytic caps and IC.

Post a gutshot or two and we'll figure it out

Gut shots soon
caps are ok
Ic matches mine

Going nuts. Walking away for tonight

[Officer Bukowski]

Yeah, look at it again with fresh eyes and you'll have a much better chance of fixing it.

If that doesn't work, post gutshots and we'll help

Theory ONe: Something is or was backwards. Chip is probably fried.

[hbombgraphics]

I tried the chip in my DIY TGD and it seems to work fine, I just gotta get some pics up I am sure it is something simple

[hbombgraphics]

Well from what I see looks like two lugs aren't connected that need to be on the footswitch.

1|2|3
4|5|6
7|8|9

7 and 2 need to be connected.
