Okay, checking the resistance to pin 4 of the PT2399 yields more sensible resistance values, though the pot jumps from 0 to 90k in less than a quarter turn and maxes out around 98k for the rest of the sweep. Since it's an A100K I know not to expect a linear progression but is this the expected...

Also to clarify, when the pedal is unpowered the multimeter's saying OL when one lead touches a piece of metal and the other touches the corresponding component. When I used the Fluke I was getting 38M but OL with the Harbor Freight multimeter. Just want to make sure I'm measuring resistance to...

Sorry all, fell off the earth there for a while. Feedback pot to R9, C11, C12, and level pot all clear for continuity. I also checked polarity of all relevant components. I did have to remove and replace the first L78L05 (IC4) that I installed because it was cocked once I soldered it in. Could...

Resistance from pin 2 to C3 was 11k. Oddly, I’m only getting resistance to ground if it’s hooked up to power but when I do I can confirm that it’s 38M.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I really appreciate the support. To reiterate, there is no contact between any of the potentiometers. When doing future builds, I'll definitely order some plastic covers for the pots and keep my eye on the clearance. Awesome! Thanks for the detailed...

Sorry for the delay (lol), there is actually some clearance there but just to be safe I did as suggested but no effect. But thanks again, like I said before I suspected that this could be an issue but wasn't certain so this'll definitely help for future builds.

I included the second photo to show the clearance between the board and the pots and I’m testing the circuit outside the box so that clearance remains constant. That being said, I wasn’t certain that pot contact could short the board so I tried with some plastic wedged in there but no dice...

Hello all, I’m embarking on my third build after a dazzling success followed by an abysmal failure. I think I got too big for my britches after my first build worked first try and bit off more than I could chew for the second. Anyway, I’ve been working on the magnetron delay and have populated...
