Hi -
I am a brand new pedal builder. I received a whole bunch of PedalPCB boards from a guy who gave up and now I am working my way through them, ordering parts I don't stock.
I am a retired electronics technician, and am not new to troubleshooting or building out circuit boards, but this one has me puzzled.
If I am not posting this correctly, I hope someone will move this to where it may better belong.
The first thing I did was to print out the build instructions. The only one (so far, and I have looked through about a dozen build instructions) that I am having difficulty with is the Skeptical Buffer. First, R13 is 10R, not 100K like a previous poster figured out.
But the layout of my board isn't the same as either of the two shown in the build instructions.
Starting from the top of the board and working downwards, on the "row" with the three switches,on my board there is room for two rectangular caps in between the switches. On the instructions, it shows four caps, two box caps on the outside of the left and right switch, and two circular caps between the switches.
On the left side of the board, there are three circular caps, C6, C3, and C105. On my board, only two caps, 10uf and 1uf.
Under the printing of Rev 2, there's a row of four caps. On my board, only three caps.
Under that "row" on my board there is one circular cap to the left of the two diodes and one to the right of the two diodes on the right. On the first page pictorial, there are two box caps to the right of the right-most diodes and no cap to the left. On the page 2 pictorial, there are no caps on either side of the two sets of diodes.
That appears to be it. I would certainly appreciate a pictorial that is correct for the board I have. Failing that, if someone could just tell me which caps go where, I would be very appreciative.
Thanks in advance for anyone's assistance. I will be glad to post a pic of the board if that will help.
