Hi I'm trying to build a Maleficent Mids Kit I bought from Musikding and have a couple of things I'm not clear on.
1 - How do I know which revision the board is ? The bag that came from Musikding had 'V2' on it but there's nothing on the board that I can see to indicate revision, it just says 'PCB054' on the underneath. It does look visually the same as the board currently on sale on the PedalPCB store page.
2 - I ran into some confusion when installing the power LED - the board has the round and square holes which I assumed indicated negative (round) and positive (square) so I installed the LED that way first and it didn't work, so I then noticed that the round one is labled 'A' and the square one 'K' (Anode and er.. Kathode ?? !) so I swapped the LED around and now it lights up when the switch is engaged. But I get no sound at all from the pedal when on (I do when bypassed).
I've checked the obvious 'is the dual gang pot shorting' and I believe it's not as I've put a modified plastic cover over it between it and the board and the pins of the other pot right behind it.
So I'm stumped, might I have fried the circuit by placing the LED the wrong way around the first time ?
And ideas appreciated!
