Here is the final update: pedal works, and as you can see, I am sticking with the color scheme of the BBE Sonic Stomp but less emphasis on the red. All in all, this was the smoothest build yet! Everything went together fairly quick, but there wasn't a lot of parts either. Gonna have to take a...

Here are some more photos of the board... this time practically fully populated! You can also see what a difference 91% RA does to the back side of a board to clean off all the flux! I am excited to get this pedal up and running!

Project update: I don't get much time to sit down and solder parts on the board, but man, if you follow the following post your board can end up this sexy too! https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/basic-workflow-tips-for-building-a-pedalpcb.1165/

Hey all, here is the beginning of the BBW based on the BBE Sonic Stomp. I am going to stick with the Red/White theme so I know which pedal is which on my board. I already have this pedal but want to decrease the footprint that it takes up on my board and also, what's 1 more pedal!?!? I am in...

Now comes the PAINSTAKING task of rearranging the PCB on DipTrace to make it as compact as possible... I feel like I am in college all over again! LOL

I have found some circuits online that I want to try and create a more professional looking PCB for. My question, what PCB Schematic builder do people use, and what program has proven to be the easiest when designing these circuits? I used the Digikey online "Scheme It" tool and created the...

I also realize, it might be my headphones since I have Oct-2 on and playing on the A string on a bass...

Here is the other noise I am hearing...

Here is what I am hearing... I have another clip I want to upload that might be the cause if this isn't normal.

SO... I changed R26 to a 5.6k Ohm Resistor and it WORKS!!! Next question, is this pedal really supposed to be THIS glitchy!? I will try to upload an audio clip next...

What would happen if I put a 5.6k Ohm resistor at R26? Just curious...

Alright, I replaced R2 with a new 1M Ohm resistor but R26 has a 1M Ohm Resistor in it... what exactly is this specific resistor used for? Would either a 5.6k Ohm resistor or 22k Ohm resistor work in this spot? That is all I have on hand at the moment. I will order 10k Ohm if needed.

Everything passed with flying colors for this test... now off to continue to check the other resistors around the IC1 and Direct pot

EDIT: Now the LED works... the (+) lead of the power came undone... resoldered and now the LED works with the switch.

Okay, for IC5, here are the readings WITHOUT the IC in the socket: Pin 1: ~5v Pin 2: ~5v Pin 3: ~5v Pin 4: 0v Pin 5: ~5v Pin 6: ~5v Pin 7: Variable voltage from 4v - 6v Pin 8: ~9v Here are the readings when I swap IC1 and IC5: IC1 IC5 Pin 1: ~5v Pin 1: ~3v Pin 2: ~5v Pin 2: ~5v Pin 3...
