Worried I roasted this solder pad

[Stevohuff]

How bad is it? Ground/output on the low tide

If the pad is indeed damaged you can connect the wire to this pad at the footswitch instead.

Connect the GND wire to any other ground point in the pedal... (the other GND pad or 1/4" jack, for example)

I see, so run a wire from that foot switch pad to the “output” 1/4 jack, and solder the “ground” pad wire over to the other ground for the input?

I may have made a mistake describing the issue, it looks like the pad I believe is burnt is the one recommended for the fix?

Sorry, not sure my last post was clear.

Thank you for any assistance!

Definitely looks like the pad is gone from the OUT. Robert’s fix for that should work.

Harder to tell from the pic what’s up with the ground. That one could be okay?

Ground is good, just cleaned it up.

The fix illustrated running a wire from the “out” - which is the damaged pad.

Am I reading that incorrect?

I believe the two pads Robert highlighted in Red are connected.

For some pedals you would connect a wire from the out jack directly to the stomp switch or the daughterboard. In this case there is a trace on the pcb from the switch up to where the jacks are to make the wiring easier. That’s the trace that got damaged.

If you’re using a stomp switch board, instead of connecting a short wire from the little switch board up to the pad indicated in red, connect a long wire from the switch board up to the out jack.

Make sense?

So from this pad on the PCB directly to the jack. Right?

Do I still have another cable run from the pcb to the foot switch lug in the wiring diagram?

I have a PPCB daughter board I could use, but I’ll probably wire this straight to the 3PDT.

Thank you again for the help!!

Yes.

Yep.

Yep.

Cable, ah. I meant wire. I got tired but I should be able finish tomorrow.

Thanks again
