That’s great - you’ve found the problem on number 3 and then developed a technique to solder reliably - sounds like a win! I always try and put my fs down the bottom of a 1590a like you have - more space for a foot!

@vigilante398 these two found one of your nobelium mid podcast....

My debugging list... 1 check for obvious, volumes up, plugged in right socket, power in, 2 check the less obvious, have I got parts muddled? 3 reflow things. I don't have to think about it, just make sure the joints are better... 4 audio trace. super simplified - red line is signal. VCC is...

I'm guessing we are talking at cross purposes here, but just for clarity reflowing the solder doesn't involve removing parts - just heating it adequately to get a good solder joint

when something isn't working the brainless first thing you can try, esp on a smaller circuit like this is just reflow suspect looking solder joints.

seeing the joints at the bottom I would reflow any that look blobby.

would you not just stick the LED switch in the middle?

not that I've opened it up to change it...

I had the same - I found their documentation which suggested it should be the same - BUT I've also managed to have 5 positions so figured it did the stop washer in the wrong place

oh rubbish - YouTube thumbnail shows a load of pedals I wasn't referring too... sorry

why bass lot love it so... (oddly doesn't have it's own Wishlist thread)

I fit a Prunes and Custard in one of them with top jacks - very cool, very fiddly. I used Limburgh jacks (or decent quality equivalent) and 9mm pots. I've actually got two test enclosures left somewhere so should make something else to go in them

my first ever attempt at a PCB build was that circuit.- it was a utter failure for many reasons (but learned a lot)

Exciting - mono? Stereo? What’s the plans ? Sushi style valve front end?

"This one's going to a fella called Robert" "oh shove something else in the enclosure and solder a few extra parts on it for him"
