Well id rule your soldering out of the equation.. From what I can see it's freakin nice and not slathered with flux...

I strongly suggest buying the j201 from pedalpcb already soldered on the adapter boards if your new..... use trimmed leads from resistors to solder to the adapters and pop into your board like a through hole component... search in the build reports or forum in general for that build and take a...

If they are NPN germaniums it would work... Maybe...But... a few things come into play. Be mindful of the pinout of transistors that you want to pop in...The HFE/Gain of the transistor and it's leakage come into play..... R3 resistor and the trim pot may need to be adjusted to different values...

Exactly what I ship individuals in... I ordered the big pack of same size box from amazon 4x6x3... I keep all the tayda packaging and use it to ship pedals...Anything bigger I use amazon boxes.... I 99% of the time use usps priority and fill out the postage online with their quick ship.. then I...

My laser is a 20W diode... I had a 10W and it did just as good? Are you using lightburn? I can burn all the way through the powder coating down to bare metal no probs.... I generally run 1500-2100mm/m @ 90% power. sometimes I run a double pass... I did on this enclosure because this stuff is...

It’s one of the hammertone tayda enclosures laser engraved and back filled with white paint to show up.. 👍

Been a minute since I’ve completed a build… Building this one as a gift to a friend… Finally get to finish something!

Also.. is your led turning on and off with the switch? I cant see how you have your DC jack wired..

no.. it's a little more complicated than that... pnp uses positive ground.. you would have to flip polarity on a few things What I can see is a possible short on your diagonal wire on the stomp switch.. and from the angle it almost looks like a potential bridge on your electrolytic cap in center...

It's not impossible but pretty hard to find NPN germaniums.... My guess is you have your pinout for transistor legs installed wrong.. but honestly for us to help identify what other things you might have going is to read the sticky and post good pics of your build so we can catch whats going on.

pictures of your build? Your aware the silismile is NPN transistors correct?

Calling @Stickman393

Full send.. Your not gonna be able to tell any difference there

I'm with @jimilee ... if you don't have a bypass signal then the issue is somewhere in that path and not the pedal itself.... Guitar>Cable>input jack> wiring for input jack to footswitch> footswitch itself or the bypass loop wire on the switch>Output jack wiring>Output jack itself> Guitar cable...

I'd stay away from cloth pushback on pedals... get the multicolored pack on amazon.. 22 gauge remington stranded/topcoated wire
