thank bernd

 

[mrkrawn]

You mean

[kambo]

Yeah i understand i have did it but  have a phase invert sound  or something like this i will check my wire tommorow maybe my input wire but the unit work i can see the tube slowly light up,the pots works just need to find that mistake thanks Bernd

Maybe my problem is my 6Ж2П-ЕВ tube substitute for 6AS6.
I read in the thread jancoste had problem with this tubes:
http://www.musikding.de/Active-parts/tubes/NOS-tubes/6SH2P-EV::2906.html
My others tubes for this project are electro harmonix so i suspect  6Ж2П-ЕВ

But here i can see 6Ж2П-ЕВ is a good substitute

Hi Genius

I continue my test so i put a 0db guitar loop into my rude tube.
first i can see 23.3 DB attenuation from the return signal. BAD
When i remove bypass and slowly turn all the pots and switch here is what i got.
(I start turning 1drive 2bias 3overdrive 4 lpf output 5 switch tr/P1/Pk1 etc..)

i upload my audio test here:
https://www.sendspace.com/file/7nqan0

1 original loop
2 in bypass mode +23db boost to hear something
3rude tube engaged boost to hear something

Something Goes Wrong 

 

[kambo]

doesnt make sense !!!
this unit has hard wired bypass, what goes in, goes out...
is your bypass relays working fine ?

did you change your tubes ?

 

[mrkrawn]

I replace 6Ж2П-ЕВ by a sylvania 6AS6 to be sure but same issue
I reupload the manual and somes  Drask pcb pics.

I think bypass work fine because when i when I turned off the rude tube engaged i can hear the relay "clac".
turn off the unit remove the effects and i can hear the same signal which i put into the rude tube with 23 db attenuation.
is it more clear for you?

Thanks to you

1 original loop : this file come from my daw and go to the rude tube

2 in bypass mode +23db boost to hear something.
(I just do a 23db boost on the return signal in my daw whatever you can't hear)
This file come from the xlr output rude tube in bypassmode  and go to my daw input.

3 Rude tube engaged 35db boost to hear something.(I just do a 35db boost on the return signal in my daw whatever you can't hear)

this file come from the output of Rude tube engaged  and go to my daw input

Maybe it's more clear now

One thing i'm sure the psu working nice
According to the pic
this is exactly what i do
XLR-IN:
pcb pad1 starground
pcb pad2 hot
pcb pad3 cold
XLR-OUT

pad2 edcor10k10k primary pin4
TRIN-OUT
pad1 edcor10k10k secondary pin 5
pad2 no connect 
pad3 edcor 10k10k secondary pin8
TROUT-IN
pad1 go to edcorxs1100 pin 2 or 4 
pad2 edcor xs1100 pin 5

TROUT-OUT
Pad1 edcor xs1100 pin 9
Pad2 edcor xs1100 pin 7
DI
i link in and out,no DIfor the moment

[kambo]

"OVERDRIVE

pad4 middle right connected to middle left "

it should be,
pad4 : middle right

connect middle left to top right....

 

[mrkrawn]

"OVERDRIVE

pad4 middle right connected to middle left "

it should be,
pad4 : middle right

connect middle left to top right....

Thanks for your help kambo
but in Bernd pics i just can see the 2middle pins linked
i attached a pic of my switch

Maybe you're right i don't know but really thanks i will try

 

[mrkrawn]

For a unknow reason, i did a wrong wire in my pots output,drive and bias now i will wire like this

 

[kambo]

this was the most dragggging project ever... just wired CH1, tested with SM57 mic, on line input,
every function is working in first fire...

check ur wiring....

 

[mrkrawn]

Thanks kambo
i did the same as you, i only test one channel 
mundorf caps it's a good idea,i was thinking that too.
For now i have rewire my pots, i will test lorlin switch for overdrive switch and after i will try to rewire the overdrive as you say me
thank you i think we touch on goal.
