SHO Clone Help

Post by goosekevin »

hey all.
i have been making a Super Hard on Clone with help from MSLP and I am stuck.

I get a bypass signal and the LED comes on when I hit the switch but i get no signal only a high pitch squeal, the typical 'crackle' of a SHO and an occasional machine gun like stutter

I have triple checked for no bridges and that everything is matching the schematic

any hints to what might usually cause problems?

You're getting noise from the LED. Check that everything that needs to be grounded is, and that your jacks are wired properly to the switch. You might want to use input-grounded wiring for the switch, too.

I love the smell of solder in the morning.
