Where are the LED terminals for the 3PDT connected? These need to be connected to the LED pads of your PCB (in the correct polarity). Next time, this breakout board is designed specifically for those footswitches. https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/3pdt-led-1/

The upper LED has a 1N4148 diode in series, if that's the one that isn't lighting up it's most likely normal.

The Patron drill template will work: https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/PatronDistortion-PedalPCB.pdf

Yes. The only reason the top one exists is because they stopped manufacturing the bottom one.

I don't have one assembled at the moment, but this is basically a Bluesbreaker ... aren't they known for lacking volume?

For years I've avoided them like the plague, only using them as a last alternative when I'm on the brink of losing my mind. 🤣 Lately, I've started to realize how much cleaner (and less stressful) some of my layouts would have been with a few vias. Technically it's really no different than...

C15 blocks DC current flow to ground through R17 > Tone Pot > R18. The tone bypass switch pops when switching without it.

Look closely at the IN/GND/SW/OUT connections at the bottom of the PCB. A short there could cause this behavior.

It's off by 0.1mm vertically according to their measurements. https://www.amplifiedparts.com/sites/default/files/associated_files/p-h1590n1ce-pd3_face_dimensions.pdf

It looks like the pots are spaced about 2mm further apart from center. That should be workable.

Yall want me to stock some pre-drilled enclosures for a few of the standard templates? I probably can't beat Tayda's price, but I could keep them in stock and available for quick shipping.

Wait.... you said it was a Tube Screamer. :oops: Coupon code "FIVEDOLLARDIODES", good for the next 24 hours. Don't tell anyone. ;)

Reuse them, just change the name and delete all the holes.
