Oh awesome, thanks for the insight. Just cause they're asking for film caps, I'll probably just do another order and get some 33nF ones. Thanks!

Hi all. Just wondering if I can have some technical help in regards to swapping these capacitors for 22nF ones: I missed out on purchasing these when I was doing a bulk order, and I have 22nF caps on hand. I’m still wrapping my head around reading schematics, but am I correct in saying...

Thanks for the input! It would be the first time for me that tape has been the culprit, as I've had good results previous times. I'll give the isolators a try next time :)

I haven't had any issues with other dual gang pots and the tape I use, but maybe I should buy a few of the insulators and see.

Yea that's a great point. The build has been set aside for now, so maybe I'll pick it back up in the next few months or so.

Coming back to this thread as I've just finished finalising my new pedal board. So after completing 3x other PedalPCB builds, they all work 100% on the first go (Parentheses [Big + Mini build] and Mofeta Preamp), and I've come to believe that there might be something wrong with my Blue Shoe Gai...

Oh yes, sorry I forgot to post this earlier. I tested the leads, and the +ve terminal was reading just over +9v, reference to ground (-ve terminal).

Installed new pots, exact same problem. I think I'm gonna put this build on the back-burner and try my luck with another one :(

Ok I'm getting somewhere... After rewiring elements and swapping the jacks + footswitch, I can get the pedal to turn on with the jacks installed. I've now realised that it's the pots that are giving me trouble. As soon as I begin to turn the nut to tighten 3x of the pots (Mid, Drive, Push)...

I'll get onto this later today. I'm needing to resolder the wiring on the jacks and footswitch, so I'll get that done and run some tests.

I appreciate the feedback. I'm using my JBC station and the temp is set to 350 celcius. The pics do look rough, mostly cause I haven't given the board a proper clean. Most of the marks/shiny areas is just residual flux. The pedal does work FYI, just not within the enclousure, so I'm not too...

Yea, everything was hooked up fine without any shorts. Chassis had continuity to -ve terminal and 1/4" jacks had continuity to chassis ground and -ve terminal (1/4" jacks also contact to chassis as well, they're not isolated).

Yea the pedal works fine when not housed in the enclosure. When everything minus the 1/4” jacks are housed, everything still works. As soon as 1x 1/4” jack is installed, no audio or LED light passed through.

Yea I'm using my Pedal Power 2 Plus which I haven't had any issues with so far (been using it for 8 years now). Kinda stumped at this point. I have a few other builds I need to house, so I might try those and see how I do. Feeling a bit at a loss with this build :( It's the first pedal build...

Just went through the components and checked values and bridging. Everything is looking good. I've started tracing the signal path to confirm everything is ok there.
