I noticed they also have Tayda ready drill guides and UV print files for some of their boards.

What did you use to remove the solder? If you don't have one get an Engineer's brand solder sucker...

A lighted magnifier is a great tool for inspecting solder joints

I was going to circle that one as a possible bridge and thought no he would have surely seen that!

The joints circled in blue are how they should look, any thing else is suspect.

There's a lot of joints on that board that look suspicious, all the ones that look balled up should be reflowed.

Need to see jack wiring

I think your output jack is wired backwards, hard to tell from these photos. Edit: Actually I think both are backwards

Does this mean live fishing demos are coming soon? :ROFLMAO:

Haven't seen any new builds from Michael in a while, I really enjoy his demo's.

Try the stuff from Love My Switches

I wouldn't call it bad soldering practice, many people do it that way.

If I'm building three or four of the same pedal I've found it best to build and test one, make any changes or corrections, and then I'll do the others simultaneously.

You could bend the leads all the way to the board and snip them at the edge of the solder pad, then go through and solder all at once, it might make removal a bit more difficult if you had to replace something.

I haven't made Panna Cotta in quite sometime, don't know why everybody loves it!

Small amps all sound slightly muffled to me, to really test a pedal I'd think you'd want an amp that really opens up. I use a twin reverb, just because that's what I have. I'm sure there are less pricey options. Put a 100K pot in a small enclosure with 2 jacks and have your buddy put it in his...

I have a Vox AC4TV, I use it mostly for harmonica, don't know that I would use it for testing pedals.

I recall a few Zinsco models from that era that were pretty bad as well.

That needs a layout that the red LED can be used in the artwork!

I think the service for each must vary with the local hubs, I get great service from UPS, so so from FedEx, and lousy service from DHL, it's like they hold my packages for days at the hub until they have something else in my area.
