Hey, I just built the BSIAB2 as per your specs and I am not getting any output from effect. I am getting bypassed sound when the effect is off, but when I switch to the effect I get nothing. I have checked the pinouts on the transistors, the direction of diode and polarized caps, the wiring of my DC jack and stereo input jacks, everything is good.

I may have wired the pots backward. In your layout, am I looking at the front of the pots or the back of the pots?

Hey man I got some questions and maybe troubles jo jo… emmm which are as follow:
1. how are the pots conected??? I mean te numbers are left to right looking it face up
2.the jacks got me a little confused on the connections using both stereo types but kind of different from the ones on the layout I got…
and 3. the DC jack is a little different too and got me confused as well about which + goes to the millenium and which to the battery… thanks for the help =)

Hi, I have a question about the 1 uf caps in the bsiab pedal. The general guitar gadgets site has them listed as a film type but the schematic shows one as polarized and one non polarized. Does anyone know the correct kind?

Anyone tell me what size the box caps are are used with the BSIAB2 pcb? Are they 7.2mm in length or 7.5. Even better if some one can give me the Mouser number!

Thanks.

hi…any chance of some audio samples…using humbuckers for a change…most of these sites are fender heads..thus mostly single coil so you never get a chance of hearing the pedals at full gain…cheers dude..pukka site…

I built the BSIAB2 last week and I really like it. Could have a little bit more bass. I used shielded wire from lug2 of the level-pot to the footswitch to reduce feedbacks. Thank you very much for this project! The next will be your spring reverb Greetings from Germany
