I have made 2 builds of the same tubescreamer board. identical components, identical wiring. One works with my line 6 spider one doesn't. Now here is the kicker, they BOTH work plugged into my Rockman. ANY assistance would be helpful.
THANKS !

This ought to be a sticky.

When you buy a BYOC,  you are PAYING for his tech support!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is the link you want:

now, i understand that i have BYOC support, however i believe that this might be helpful to other bulders that might run across this. remember that both units work, just one works with the line 6 the other doesn't. i aplolgize if i broke any decorum on this board. just was hoping for some insight from other builders that might understand this better than i do.

thanks

Can you explain what it is that don't work? No sound? Sounds bad? What Rockman gear is it that they both work with?

Mor info please!

bzja

No output whatsoever, and the rockman is a X-100 unit, 80's vintage. Thanks for your response.

My apologies - re-reading my post I sounded like a jerk, I should've put a smiley in there.  :icon_redface:

Are they both connected the same either way? Same power supply/same cords/etc?

It *shouldn't* make a difference if you are plugging a pedal into something different.

same bat time same bat channel, all the same cords the same 9v battery, this has got me stummped ! i have the feeling that it might be as simple as one of the component values might be slightly off. I Dunno though.

*** new information the rockman works as a stompbox guitar-rockman-amp however, put the tubescreamer in before the rockman and no output throught the amp. but in the headphones I can increase/decrease tone, volume and drive. ****

it just keeps getting better !

FOUND IT !!!! As I had feared the 10uf electrolytic is crap. Picked one up at Crap Shack and voila works!!! Thanks for the replies !

How does it sound through the Line 6?
In my experience, digital amps/preamps/fx units don't like analog pedals, esp. od/dist pedals.

bzja

not my favorite sound, the line 6 is the only amp that I have here in my house, the rest of the equipment is in my dad's basement. this build is for my 14 year old. eventually he'll be using this with a mesa boogie tube head. but i think you have the right description of the disimilarity in the tone.
