I'm going to give this a shot again on a new board and QDF cleaner. Do you think there is any point to cleaning an already assembled board? It's strange that I built two of these and they both work identically except for the octave. I also built two Parenthesis pedals and neither of them work at...

Let me know what you find out- I've had to put these projects off for a while and need to get back to them.

The underside looked much better and I did actually re-flow all the joints before I posted these pics- I should have taken new ones but was having issues with posting photos. No protrusions- but no, I've never cleaned a board ever actually. I'll try some ISO- anything to look for or be aware of...

If you are referring to the long wires- I did that after I started having problems with the first build. I've built close to 30 other pedals before. Some from kits some from just PCB builds like this. I've never had so much trouble as I'm having now. I've had badly printed boards before- but...

I'm going to match a set and try again- wouldn't unmatched still give me a signal?

What would the difference be?

I ordered them matched but did not check them.

Thanks for responding BTW

On the first one: Bypass works First switch will add volume and the volume pot responds Seconds switch will tun on led but same sound as bypass Third switch shut the sound off entirely On the second one Bypass works First switch - no sound, but moving the volume knob on the pedal up and down...

No change. I'm not getting any octave effect out of either pedal. I reflowed all the solder points this weekend and no change as well.

I've tried to post more pics- but everything I try to post says the file is too big...

I've built two Parenthasis Fuzz pedals ( one for me and one for a pal) and neither work. Any help is appreciated.
