Steve happy to report the issue has been resolved... To answer your queries, yes it was happening regardless of control settings, or which set of pickups was engaged, etc.. was all very perplexing.. Anyway, in the process of setting things up on the test bench, I used a signal generator (so I wouldn...

Thanks for the reply Steve... The batteries are new, and verified.. the circuit works ok with low input, but cuts out a the 1v pp area... If it was clipping would I expect to hear serious distortion, as opposed to a complete fade/loss of output? I'll throw the guitar back up on the bench tomorrow an...

Just finished the active controls guitar build project in the October issue (HotRod your electric guitar...), and have been experiencing some problems... It seems to work ok in general, but when the guitar strings are played hard/loud,, the circuit output fades as if over driven and 'squelched', ret...

Was able to get all neatly laid out on a small RatShack perf board, so its all good.. and done

So, did you get your board built and installed? I got one done using perf board.. However, the amp fades & cuts out when he guitar is played hard, and I'm seeing +/- 1v coming from them.. so thinking the opamp is being overdriven.. probably going to install a resistor in series or a voltage splitter...

Hi all.. I know the board is rather simple, but due to space requirements I woulds like to use a PCB instead of perf board, my second option.. as I don't have any goodies left to make my own anymore.. sigh.. Did anyone make boards for this project, and would like to sell me one or two .. :) ?? thank...

It appears to be be basically correct, assuming all notations in the article are correct. However you still need to get the connection from pins 2 & 6 to circuit ground.. again possibly right at the connector itself, as long as it gets back to the board too..
