Study the schematic carefully. The lower part seems to work fine, the issue is with the upper part - the 10uF and 1uF caps do not make...

The stereo mod is wet/dry. The pedal itself is mono, so you won't get stereo out of it, you would need to build two of them in one...

I hope someone can clarify things, but according to https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/fornicus-leds.20394/#post-274391 and from what I...

Bending the legs is not rocket science! Just place the IC on its side against a flat surface and gently push the plastic body to 90...

From what's written on the IC, it's not an LM386 but an 24C32F EEPROM. I would double check the other ICs in the back, they should be...

Tbh I'm mainly using sockets to help with any troubleshooting issues (including IC's installed the wrong way around). That's pretty much...

"We mount our IC's sideways to improve the signal/noise ratio and EMF rejection. This allows for more natural, warm, tube-like breakup...

Basically, yes, failed, fell off from the factory. I had it laying around because I had already realised the flyleafs weren't working...
