Go to the build report section and post a build report there!

Have you triple checked all of your solder joints? Check this image to make sure you only have the ok solder joints. They should kinda look like Hershey kisses. Also, check out this page for how to address the types bad solder joints and what can cause them...

It's most likely that most of it is surface mount parts, so even if you had a schematic, repairs would probably be very difficult. They pack a lot of stuff in those enclosures.

First, check EVERY solder joint on every component. Look at the image. You want every single joint to look like the "OK" one. Check this link for solutions and causes if you make a bad solder joint, and how to make a good solder joint...

I got [insert pcb name] last week and was wondering if you could post a build doc for [insert pcb name]. If you did I would greatly appreciate it! "Patience Anakin"- Obi Wan Kenobi

Don't bash Eric Johnson man! He's got better tone than you will ever get! Oh that was a bit over the top. You could call me a big fan of Eric's. By the way, you might not be able to get the right tone without carbon zinc batteries. It gets you the vintage mojo!

I will get some more done tomorrow!

Got some new stuff to add finally! This is a pdf that goes into a ton of detail about anything from power amps to speaker cabinets. If you want to build a solid-state pedal amp to have on your pedalboard, this is a great resource. It has a little over 100 pages on power amps and 100 pages on...

Probably not. It has a ton of algorithms and would have to be in a huge enclosure. I will catch you up to speed. There are 2 types of components mounts. Through hole, and surface mount. Most pcbs on pedalpcb are exclusively through hole, and all are at least 90 percent through hole. Through hole...

Thanks man. I will definitely try to take care of myself and the family. Thanks for the positive vibes. I appreciate it.

Thank you. I really appreciate you taking the time to write this. Your right, it's definitely time to be with the family. Right now I am still in that shock phase. We where really close, and I have a lot going on, so my brain can't really process it or accept it right now. I get what you mean...

I am going to suspend this project for a while. My grandma passed away on Wednesday and I'm a mess :( I am pretty busy so I won't get to the ID for a while. I do want to keep working on it, but now is not the time.

Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it. Best wishes to you and your family too. Sorry you are going through something similar.

Alright.

I can't post for a while. Grandma's dying and life is busy. :(

Benny profane is right. Plus you might damage your components if you are new to soldering and you desolder them.

Yeah plugging the op amp in probably crapped it out. You need to get new ones. Every leg of the IC has a specific function and sometimes a component, so if it's backwards you probably fried it. There is no sense in doing anything else until your op amps are replaced.

I agree. Part of the idea for this discussion thread is suggestions. If somebody wants to contribute something, I would be more than happy to add it. Right now I just got to gradually build it. I think the next topic for the ID will be basic component types and how they work generally and how...
