Pedal Pal Stereo Expression CV Question

Hi everyone,


Just put together a Pedal Pal Stereo. Everything is working as expected, but I am having some issues with the expression pedal connectivity.


I am trying to interface w the expression pedal input on a Meris Mercury X.  I checked… exp i/o operates on 0-3.3v and delvers voltage to the ring of the TRS cable.  I have a V1 board and all 3 jumpers are in the right place (mine pcb came with a sticker to account for the silkscreen mislabeling).


This is what’s happening:


When I plugin a TRS cable from the expression jack of the pedal it illuminates the CV LED lights when the exp pot is turned cw.   When I adjust the exp pot there is no change except at the lower end (ccw) of the dial when the LED dims and pedal responds suddenly. I’ve scaled the expression input in the pedal too…

Dear Stefan, Thank you for your prompt and through reply. Switchign the jumpers did the trick. It appears that the original silkscreen label was correct? Long time time DIYer, but first time pedal user.....I still learing all of the ins and outs. At any rate, Everything now works flawlessly, sounds great. A solid addition to my kit. Thanks again!

Solder stencil for Envelope

Does anyone know where I can download a gerber file for making a paste stencil for Envelope? Wanting to cut a stencil for the SMT side of the board only.

Hey Jungle,


I’ve created the bottom solder paste Gerber and the board outline Gerber for you.


You can download the files here:

Let me know if it works for you.


Thanks,

SPM right out not working

I just finished assembling SPM v1 and everything seems to work ok, but I have no sound on the right output.

The volume knobs work, the spread works, the left out works, but the right is completely silent.


I've attached a picture of my soldering. I've tried reflowing some of the components, but I can't seem to make it work.


Which components specifically would affect the right out?


Thanks,

Tommaso

Hey again ,

is the right output silent for all 3 inputs?

If yes, I would first focus on the common right-output stage: U3, R105, C39, C1 and the OUT_R jack/solder joints. Also check the solder joints around pins 1, 2 and 3 of U3.

Thanks, Stefan

Delay volume out too low

Hello, I just finished assembling Delay but the volume out is extremely low. I'm using a 100k trimmer resistor for the out gain, but I can't hear any difference when turning the trimmer.


FWIW I have assembled two copies of the module and both have the same issue.


I've resoldered all the dodgy joints, but it didn't help.


Any ideas of what I can try next?

hey thanks for the very detailed reply, unfortunately I smoked the board, so I'll have to get a new one anyway :/
