Hey all.
So last month I had boxed up two Low Tide builds to test and make sure they were functional, which they were and both sounded great. I had tried running them parallel for a bit in a stereo signal which sounded really amazing.
I then took them back out of their respective boxes so that I could do some artwork for the enclosures, and then boxed them both back up. One of them worked just fine and is currently on its way to my buddy, but the other one refuses to come back to life.
Board pic:
So firstly I've gone through and checked continuity at all the major connections. Power is correct and passing signal, the ground is consistent throughout, footswitch to board connections are good, as are the i/o jacks. When turned off it passes signal, and the LED does not light up. I think I may have it in backwards ALTHOUGH I made that mistake before and the pedal worked normal otherwise.
When I turn any of the knobs I get a bit of static, as well as when I turn the bias trimmer. I'm wondering if maybe I somehow fried the BBD, but I have a bunch of other I could swap out to test.
If anyone has any suggestions of where else I could check out to get this one going again I'd greatly appreciate it.
