EDIT: Nevermind, I understand what you mean now. I don't know why I kept thinking the Output jack was involved.

Just to make sure I’ve got this right: Input jack left (switched) tip lug to Output jack right (non-switched) sleeve lug?

Hey, thanks- I was using the all-plastic Neutrik (apparently switching) jacks for the first time on a Delegate build tonight and I was getting no signal- just buzzing. I changed the jacks to all right side only connections as you suggested, and it fixed my problem as well.

Hey @BurntFingers I just did it, and wow- the distortion is DEFINITELY notably gone or at least reduced to a point where the pedal is certainly usable for the first time and within some normal range of expectation. I can see the led clipping and the output isn't crunching with every single note...

There's no way this is normal behavior- I listened to SS demos and it has nothing to do with the longer delay, which would is understandable. Here's a video showing the problem. I am playing fairly hard in order to accentuate the problem, but there is no setting where this is not...

Oh for sure I don't think PedalPCB is at any "fault" of any kind. Just the reverse - I think he is a literal hero. And I appreciate everyone's help- I hope to be at a point where I can pay it forward someday. I just keep holding out hope that there is something that can be done that will tame...

Hey @Chuck D. Bones - I checked the V to pin 1 on the socket for the PT2399 and it showed 4.81. Is this an ok value? Datasheet implies it can go down to 4.5. Also --- I did one more test before I was going to try @BurntFingers idea with the green LED (which I will still try) and it was...

Thanks for the reply and the ideas to investigate. I’ll probe into these as best I can and report back. I truly appreciate it

Ok so I’ve torn this thing apart and banged my head against every wall— I’ve: • Reflowed bunk or questionable joints • Swapped in/out 2 other PT2399 (from Smallbear) • Replaced every bit of wiring • Replaced hardware • Removed fluxy film from rear • Added footswitch daughter board • Prayed to...

Neither pad shows continuity. Thanks for breaking that down for me, makes perfect sense now.

Could you elaborate a little if you don’t mind? I’m not sure how to check for that.

Thank you

So I managed to make a tiny surface nick across a trace just deep enough to take off the solder mask while building a Dwarven Hammer. DMM shows continuity between point above and below nick. Ok to ignore and carry on? Thanks

I appreciate you taking a peek at it. I feel like it’s just the silver coating on the pad of the one side that came off. I think the inner plating is still there. I’ll try resoldering to it first and epoxy gluing as you recommend. 2 quick followup questions if that’s ok— At what stage do you...

Here’s full pics of both sides of the board minus ICs and ext wiring btw
