I have the board wired up and with stomp 1 engaged I get a maxed out gain signal. Engaging the second switch gives me the normal "side 2" signal with a functioning bias knob. If I max out the bias the two sides sound the same. Basically I don't have the low gain portion of this pedal as of now. Any idea what I did wrong?MusicManDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17214808829861912864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5481402030233340127.post-6053317445676538402022-08-12T09:31:17.584-04:002022-08-12T09:31:17.584-04:00You can use a 3PDT.

Or do I have to do one 3PDT and one DPDT switch? I ask because I have some 3PDT switches but no DPDT ones. I already soldered them both to some little daughter boards from guitarpedalparts.com.

Is the 5817 on the schematic somewhere and I just missed it? Also, what is the purpose of this diode? Appreciate anyone who helps.

I finally realized when building this, that Lovepedal has manv variations of the electra distortion and so I modified the Tchula according to the other ones - recommended for a good learning curve :-) <br /><br />But - what makes me wonder in general: How could this pedal be "loud" really - as some stated? When using BAT46 (and even with 1N4148 as the original electra uses, AFAIK) to limit the output directly, you never get a real boost of the signal (at least compared to some already higher output pickups). BTW, even without the diodes the sound is already nice - and much louder ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04853339654056082603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5481402030233340127.post-18936120763737394022020-12-03T06:35:02.926-05:002020-12-03T06:35:02.926-05:00Yang di maksud sw 1 sw 2 kita pasang di pin mana??...Yang di maksud sw 1 sw 2 kita pasang di pin mana??saya pakai switch dpdtSerenesignhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10507911411021949278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5481402030233340127.post-19648892285173143742020-10-06T08:32:13.815-04:002020-10-06T08:32:13.815-04:00As I use most of my pedals in a looper, I think ab...As I use most of my pedals in a looper, I think about building it into a 1590A as a "always on" pedal and use the primary footswitch to turn the bias switch on/off<br /><br />But I am still worried that this circuit has no volume control - would someone who already build this recommended that?
