Some help with LPB-1

[north99]

Hi!

I've just created my first pedal. It's an LPB-1 from tonepad. All good until i had tested it. The sound/signal from the pedal is VERY weak. I must turn my 15W amp to a half to hear the guitar. The bypass seems to work, because if i turn off the pedal, the sound is more weak. Also, the led is not working (idk if it's working or not).

Some help would be apreciated.

Hmmm...  If the sound is weak with the effect on, and it's weak with it bypassed, then the problem is unlikely to be in the circuit.  I'm assuming of course that you get plenty of sound when you toss the LPB-1 and plug your guitar directly into the amp?  In which case, I'd take a close look at the jack/switch/board wiring.

Edit: ...and welcome, of course!

manners, bluebunny! welcome to the forum, north99.

can we see photos of what you have built? (unless you use photophuckett ......)

You're quite right, duck.  I'm at home, bl00dy crook today.  I blame the gross discomfort. 

unless you use photophuckett ......

LOL!

Ok guys, Thanks very much for welcoming me . I think i solved the problem, im 80% sure its working, im gonna test it tomorrow because i must learn for a chemistry exam . By the way, im positively surprised about the promptitude of the answers, Thanks very much!:). The problem was a bad solder joint at the tip of the output.  ive touched it By mistake and the amp just "boomed" in my face ).

Thanks very much guys, im gonna keep in touch with you, because im also workin atm at a Rat. Ty

geeze, looks like the old "show us some photos" cure is back. maybe if you show some photos of what ails you, blue, it might boom in your face, too.

good work, north.
