    Can't identify if transistor is PNP or NPN?

    I'm kind of a newbie with electronics but I do know how to differentiate the two generally. But in this there aren't any of the common markers. If I had to guess it would be NPN but I can't be certain. If someone more experienced could help me out that would be great. Also, if there are any...

    Fuzz Pedal Problems.

    Alright, so I've been working on a basic fuzz pedal and plan on experimenting with it. However, my initial pedal does not seem to be working. The LED barely lights up and its almost impossible to see. Attached you'll find pictures and if you want more just let me know (same thing goes for...

    Fuzz Pedal, adding a fuzz pot?

    I've been working on a fuzz pedal and I had a question about where to connect my pot that controls the fuzziness of the circuit. I found a basic schematic (shown below) and was going to build upon it and add in the appropriate values. I theoretically understand how to wire the volume pot...

    Advice on modding/designing/building guitar pedal

    Alright, so I'm working on modding/designing/building a guitar pedal (as the title would suggest). So I had some basic questions to start out with. If you can answer any of these, please do. 1. Do you see where the wires just end on the PCB (For example, where R1 just doesn't connect to...

    Electric guitar wiring trouble

    You're right and I've solved the problem. But thank you all for your help!

    Electric guitar wiring trouble

    It does not work that way. And the wire was not touching. They are both 200K linear pots

    Yes, it works like that.

    Electric guitar wiring trouble

    The humbucker came with the two wires sticking out and no obvious way to see inside. The red wire coming out is the wire that was there when I bought it. I put it in and played a regular electric guitar string (metal) and no sound came out through the amp. Also, I'm fairly certain that they...

    Electric guitar wiring trouble

    Hello everyone! I've started work on a basic electric guitar and so far I've wired a tone pot, a volume pot, an output jack, and a humbucker. However, when I put it all in, it doesn't work. The black wires in the picture indicate that its ground and I've connected them in all in that...

    Building AEON overdrive pedal from mammoth electronics, need help...

    Ok, thank you, are those the only problems that you see or is that just the tip of the iceberg. E.G. Is the LED set up semi-correctly? Also, couldn't I just connect the ground to the ground lug of either the input or the output and if I didn't want to have a power jack couldn't I connect the...

    Building AEON overdrive pedal from mammoth electronics, need help...

    Ok, here are some photos. Blue = Input Red = Output, LED Green = Switch FYI, I misplaced my actual LED so I used another LED I had. Also, I lost my IC chip so do you know if there are any good places to find IC chips that would work in this pedal.

    p Also where does the end of the 9v go, on the other nub of the stereo output? Sorry for so many questions...

    Building AEON overdrive pedal from mammoth electronics, need help...

    Ok, thanks but how do I solve the LED problem? Mine only has two legs instead of the three described in your photo.

    Building AEON overdrive pedal from mammoth electronics, need help...

    You're the best! Thank you so much!!! :D But how/where do I ground the circuit to and the mod thing isn't necessary, right? Also, the LED only has two prongs so what should I do about that ?
