This design of just using stuff that's already lying around is awesome. I need to use a probe, but I don't have time to go to the store right now. Thanks for a solution!!
Or you can just solder all your output wiring on a female jack. Thats what i did with my signal generator. I also soldered the 10nF capacitor on the same PCB of the generator. You just have to plug and play.
Could you use one of these to find faulty components in an amp? I have a 30 watt valvestate that has almost no distortion on the dirty channel (I've messed with all the tone knobs, etc. It's the amp, not me) but I'm a complete novice and I can never find a forum where this problem is being addressed. So would the audio probe work for that or no?
Just a question, In the video you are probing the top. maybe that is better for the chips ic. But what about underneath where the legs have been cut ? seems easier because mon the bottom of the pcb is where the leg tips are exposed. Or is it wrong to touch those? What exactly are you touching ? Is it like playing Operation and scare you when you hit something? I'm just having a time with this Dallas silicon fuzz face circuit. it has an on-off pick up selector option and when you flick it ,it cuts the signal completely off. But when you flick it back, it is signal on. But there is no fuzz and hardly any output volume like a transistor is bad.. But the transistors are fine. I'm stumped. think its for the transformer but has something to do with humbucker vs. single coil. The primary on the transformer is 123 right? Sorry I've done gone off topic. I hope you or someone can chime into my first questions though.. And I should subscribe because Thanks for all your help to us all.
I don't know if this can help only to find if the signal gets interrupted at some point or if it's also useful to spot a bad working component that gives problems like crackling/buzzing sounds out ofa chorus/phaser...any help?
hi is audio probe works in my case i vae very low signal,a big parasite sound and i must to put the volume of the pedal to the max to listen poorly could this tool may be help me? thanx

you've given my problem board hope. THANK YOU !!!
Good to hear DJ, glad it helped!
Helped me a lot. Thank you!
Very informative video . I ll use my handy looper to do the strammin :P
+George GeorgeP loopers are invaluable for testing, much easier.

great explanation ...

Thanks for the video! I'm curious, what purpose does the 10 nF capacitor serve?
Capacitors block dc voltage. I don't think 10 nf will work cause nf is nano farad. It will filter all of the audio frequency. You can't hear a thing.

Wish you actually had a problem example to video
When probing are you just looking for a noise?

I have an EHX Holy Grail Plus which cuts out when the Amount knob is pushed beyond 3 o'clock, need me a probe.
Hey mate! Thanks for the video. Question: Why do we need the 10nF capacitor? Couldn't we probe without it just as well? Thanks!
Hey Werther, cap is in place to block DC going into the front of your amp, its a good precaution to take. Cheers
@@DiyguitarpedalsAu Oh, of course! That makes a lot of sense! Especially if you're gonna be poking around where there are DC sources present. Thanks!
Couldn't understand much when you added the capacitor. Do you have a schematic?
helps stop DC from hitting your amp
Heh heh heh.
You guys all said you needed probing....
Heh heh heh heh..
