While I deffinitely had my switch improperly wired, fixing that problem has not yet yielded a working Orange Squeezer. I’m working from the Orange Squeezer schematic at tonepad with my own layout on perfboard. Thanks to the great debugging guide at DIY stomboxes and the voltage reporting at General Guitar Gadgets, I’ve been able to find out that I’ve deffinitely got some problems.
I’ve spent some time tonight putting all my information together and posted at DIY Stompboxes to try and get myself some help. One problem is that I’m getting twice the voltage I should be at three of the IC pins and I’m getting 0 one of the Q2 pins. That 0 is supposed to be small, like 0.6 according to the General Guitar Gadgets report, but certainly not 0. Messing with the trimpot didn’t change a thing so I’m a bit past my understanding of things and I hope that some kind soul at DIY stomboxes will be able to help me identify what could be going wrong.
