I am SURE there will be a better turnout for when they find a new time after this "postponement", after basically scamming the initial audience who would have been the target... yeah right. We'll just rush to buy those new tickets!

I also know TC from the Kruder & Dorfmeister days that hit me in the early 2000s... definitely look that up!

Thanks guys, now I'm itching to know mine's weight... but we have a guest staying over and the bass is tucked away in it's bag in the upstairs closet... to be continued!

I think in the UK (and likely many other countries) your own song is covered by copyright as soon as you write and publish it. Publishing = posting to youtube in this case. I already got my teeny tiny 🎻 out and ready to play it 😁

Yep, I am trying to do my part and avoid ordering anything from Amazon and "friends", even if that would mean saving 10-20 quids... takes only a few minutes to browse alternative options.

Thanks, - tested from other side, alloy is properly formed, but still gave it a touch up - yep! - that's a wire for the MID pot, looks sus indeed but it definitely works!

Well, they choose to, we just have to... 😁 It's not like they pay any tax..

Yes, all grounds are correct, triplechecked! Dist legs are indeed connected "externally", one less wire by jumpering them. And this is my first non-boardmounted one, it's for a friend and I planned to put it into a bigger-than-1590n enclosure. I regret it every sindle day! LO AND BEHOLD, after flux cleanup it now works! I need to be less messy.

I see a lot of flux residue on the photos that is barely visible with my naked eyes. I guess I should really clean that up first with some IPA... that residue can be shorting all sorts of stuff right?

The photos won't do too much good, had to remove it from the wired up enclosure and bleh... it's uglier from close up than I remembered. But all ins and outs should be correct, I have done a connectivity test on every node again. All grounds "see" other grounds as well. However I finally found a measurable difference. The transistor is sending 0.6v to ground on BB but 1.1v on the PCB. As a result, 3.8v is going towards the OUT on BB but only 1.6v on PCB. Also, the signal is not consistent on the PCB, values keep jumping around randomly (which aligns with the poppy noise) while it's very stable on the PCB, no fluctuation. Not sure what the V difference is due to and if that's the problem or a symptom. Also don't get why am I getting noise even when directly probing the JACK IN...

The noises seem to be coming from somewhere else, there's a constant crackling and buzzing on that PCB. I guess something is shorted/grounded or a joint is busted, but if the circuit is not bypassed, my probe is terribly noisy even when measuring on the very input jack itself! It all sounds fine on both jacks of course if I bypass the circuit. Since it's all wired up, I guess now it's time to desolder all the pot wires and try to reflow the joints. But since I already checked for shorts before wiring it up and all seemed good, I don't think I'll be able to fix this, seems more and more far every day.

I got it from a fellow Basschatter very recently! I was just about to turn off the extended EQ, I'm like what do I need the high 8k for, just makes the menu more confusing. You're saying I shouldn't do that? 😁

Alright I have probed again and there is no audio coming from pin 7 on the breadboard. 🤯 Must have made a mistake in my notes the last time. Audio is only coming from the pin 6 output as expected. I'll review the PCB again and compare the 2.

Again, I'm equally confused by this, but the properly working breadboard version of this same circuit (which I have linked a couple comments ago) also has audio on pin 7. I get that pin 7 should be only connected to the power rail... To clarify, I also swapped the OP07 between the breadboard and the PCB one to make sure it's not an IC issue, and there were no changes. Breaboard continued to work, PCB continued to weirdly distort.

This PCB has a Ruetz that's handled by a trimpot, I think I tried that already, but will give it another go. I used Fuzzdog's own PCB. And I thought the same about the IC and VA, but the breadboard version does not do this crazy distortion on leg 7, neither does my other (non-operational) Fuzzdog PCB attempt. It's only this latest version that very angrily distorts on that specific leg. And the same A100K pot works completely fine on the breadboard, no short operational range there. Now my mum is visiting so have limited time, but I'll measure some more voltages, probe some audio at various points, and will try to play more with the Ruetz trim. Also, I still haven't fully tested the first attempt, which failed somewhere else. If all else fails, I got 2 more PCBs I can give a try...

Oh my god, this must be able to make every simple sound in existence. I just passed on that C4 as I just got the same bass envelope filter 😅 and here you are, running both, I'm so jealous

If I wasn't blue, this would be my chosen colour! So beautiful. And you got 2x the knobs!

Of course not, Danny is very transparent about making money and getting views on youtube. Nothing's wrong with that if it's genuine content, or even happens to expose fakers like in this case. Ad/sponsor money is somewhat a zero sum game, there are limited budgets and large companies should not spend that sweet advertising budget on fakers, when they could be boosting the real artists.

Why do you need a clock on the board? 😁 I mean I love the idea but curiously wondering if there is any specific requirement this serves.
