Yes you'd need a meter to check it Auto ranging is probably better something like this...

The regulator pins left to right are output (5v) middle ground and power (9v) Or you could check what voltage you get on the brick pin 1 and IC5 pin 1 which should be 5v ish https://www.componentsinfo.com/lm78l05-pinout-equivalent/ Checking those voltages mentioned will just let you know the...

Your images are out of focus it's very difficult to see anything clearly If you haven't already check all component values and orientation are correct as I say I can't see your resistor colour bands etc to check The transistors are 5v voltage regulators check to see you get 5v ish on the...

Awful news Cees was such a friendly helpful guy Heres the Sonomatic build doc https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aw-miJfmoRjQmnqrzMzATnEiyUi4dfBd/view?usp=drivesdk

Now that's some nice work far superior to my first efforts It's nice to see someone with the same sickness as me boxfilmitus - 'they must be straight' I'm obsessive with getting my box film caps perfectly matched to the silkscreen For someone who's just started that's a magnificent example...

It looks to me like your in jack tip is wired to ground but it's difficult to make out You'd still get bypass signal even with the jacks wired incorrectly albeit you would get a little bit of static when at idle ie not playing but you wouldn't get effect signal Post clear images of your in and...

Definitely I generally use them inside the enclosure especially with wired pots I'll angle the pcb back and jam them between pot lugs to stop them moving when I tighten them up They're particularly good for getting into tiny inaccessible places and holding smd components in place stuff like that

Just a general comment on how I remember it, positive ground can get confusing I generally just think of it as ground is a zero voltage reference and its either positive or negative but it's always 0v Ground still connects to ground regardless of its polarity That helps me connect...

I love these, lots of uses prying, holding things in place, jamming wires under the pcb to hide them etc etc they're just an all round cheap handy thing to have...

Lumberg KLBM3s would probably be fine The datasheet with dimensions is here https://uk.farnell.com/lumberg/klbm-3/socket-6-35mm-jack/dp/1217005 The body is a lot smaller and you can turn them to fit I'd get a bulb with pins similar to this https://www.banzaimusic.com/Bulb-12V-20mA.html

Did you check what looks like a fuse or some kind of circuit protection device thingy F1 if it's a fuse it should have continuity across it that's a likely candidate for blowing I can't quite make out the part number on it

I'll PM you

Where are you in the UK I've got a couple of these I bought a while ago but still haven't used you're welcome to one if you want it https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/194327610250?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=gVVg5_8mTwG&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=VraIHHfoTvS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Just added the zonk machine which is basically a MK1 tonebender with value changes I use tagboard rather than turretboard I'm in Scotland and get mine on eBay here...

If you Google 'tagboard layouts' you should get a few options There's some layouts here https://www.amplifiedparts.com/pedal-guides https://tagboardeffects.blogspot.com/search/label/Tagboard?max-results=20&m=1 https://vero-p2p.blogspot.com/2020/12/hornby-skewes-zonk-machine-tag-board.html?m=1
