Heladito-02 Problem! I don't get chorused signal...

[juan_felt]

Hi!

I built a Tonepad Heladito 02 (the Small Clone) and I only get dry signal. I adjusted the trimpot to a position in which, when I move the Depth pot, I get the Chours effect, but nothing when it is in a fixed position.

Also, when I measure the LM358 voltages none of them vary.

Has anyone had a similar problem?

Thanks!!

Do you have Ra JUMPERED and Rb EMPTY ?

If so, then go here and repost after reading:

I had the same problem after building mine. Turned out, I had a wrong resistor in there, so check all your values. Sounds great now.

Hi, all the resistors are OK. I get the values that vary now, but still the same problem.

In Q1 I have a 2N5089 (instead of the 5087) and the voltages are: E: 5.23 B:0.56 and C:0

This is NO GOOD.

The 5087 is an PNP transistor and the 5089 is an NPN. You need to use either a 5088 or 5089 there.
