OH my god... I took it out to desolder that Cap and put it back in backwards. It's working now. Looks like next step is to fix the LFO noise- the forum posting I saw on that seems pretty clear. Remove one of the caps, solder a dif't one in on the back side.

IC3 is not warm to the touch. I clipped off the power jack and had clipped a 9v to the power leads using alligator clips, and still had IC1 get hot as hell. There's also no sound when engaged, which normally i'd chalk up to a wiring issue, however prior to this it did pass sound when engaged...

First off, thanks for taking the time to answer my questions and help me out. I am seeing that the measurement even at the jack is low. Also looks like i did a crappy job of soldering on the jack. I suppose I could just dump it and use a dif't one. Swapping in a 9v batterry seems to prove...

D2 1.1 and 1.46 IC3 Which is pin 3? one of them I have 1.1 and the other I have ~.05 Reflowed the solder on that as well as where ground hits the board. There was a long lead that needed trimming, so i took care of that. Validated continuity between ground @ dc jack, ground @ board, ground...

Wish I had seen that before the desoldering + replacing lol!

Pin 4 on IC1 is also ~1V Grounding on the - terminal of the DC jack (alternatively, also grounded on the ground of the output jack Sorry, the caps have markings. THe short lead side has BP written on it where I'd normally expect a negative or Gray stripe.

Going to validate values next, here are the voltages with Shape @ 0, everything else up to max. Voltages were stable. 0 .5 .33 1.05 .566 .100 .100 .56 .56 .52 0 .52 .58 .57

Hmm I don't think I did, but your reply led me to double check. I think maybe I Have C7 backwards. See this pick - the BP side is the short lead And then int his pic you can see C7 & C15+C16 all facing the same way, with BP side (negative) pointing "down" That's frustrating - i have to...

Thanks, will do. Looks like I either have C7 or C15 + C17 put in backwards. I'm thinking it's C7.

Thanks for the reply - I appreciate it. At some point in the next day or two I plan to get my DMM and check out voltages on the ICs Not positive on the version - I bought it Jan 10th, 2020, so i believe it was the last batch BEFORE the latest revision No part substitutions. Somehow...

If voltage measurements are required, please let me know. I'm doing some initial troubleshooting and figured I'd ask for guidance. The pedal is not completely working when engaged. If all knobs are maxed there is a slapback like affect, but the LED is not on or blinking. While turning the...

Awesome, thanks for the quick response!

Can you make sure the legacy build doc also remains available to be able to reference the schematic,etc. prior to the fix?

I'm excited to order the predrilled enclosure for the SeaHorse, just wishing I could the same for the Abyss.
