@chork looking closely it appears OP had his pinout incorrect with the particular transistor chosen.. that tranny has an odd pinout and the collector is the center pin.... For you I'd suggest checking your particular transistor and compare you have it oriented properly.... as well as the usual...

I think where @jwin615 was pointing is that sockets are sometimes a connectivity issue..... Sometimes they are not a good idea... for jfets I normally solder them in as you have done... for fuzz circuits and germanium trannies I will socket... My $.02

my first thought was... yah.. heck no. I can see where some people would love it though.

I remember putting a spinning speaker rotary pedal in the last PIF that went his way..... :ROFLMAO:

Orbital is better in every way… palm/sheet sanders are very very old technology

curve trace them so you can see what they look like? and share?

6" electric orbital sander is fine for wet sanding..... use a small squirt bottle with a drop of dishsoap... Just keep things wet... not literally hosing everything down with water.. I run a paint shop as my job nowadays... Been into liquid coatings as a professional for over 30 years.. go...

is your goal to paint them or to leave aluminum showing? If painting I recommend using 3m spot putty for small defects... use a small thin putty knife and only fill what you need.. if you pretend your icing a cake it will take forever to sand correctly..... that and some high build primer in...

it's very likely you have a short.. random strand of wire touching something or a small solder bridge... your soldering really needs some work.. which is ok.. we all gotta start somewhere... But you do need to focus on better soldering and how your wiring is done... You'll get there... My...

offboard wiring as pot is easy.. just make sure you know what pin#'s are for orientation.

What did I miss...?

what brand pcb is this from.... So I can avoid it

Agreed... One of these stays on my gigging board

I play live just about every week with Tonex as my amp.... For years I was using the HX Stomp.. When Tonex came out I realized it is way better.. I've been playing live ampless for 6 years now... i had two of the tonex ones for a bit running a dual amp setup but realized I like the bigger unit...

Best way to troubleshoot a pcbmania board IMO

Lawd...

I'm, with Coda..... If the dual gang rivets can play scratchy scratchy with the pcb surface and go through the coating ,touch the traces and short out all kinds of overdrive fun... I made some 3d printed dual gang pot covers just for this and shared them on thingiverse for the interwebs to use...

I have two of these.. best thing I ever moved to...... blue tack and flopped on the table is not for me...

Damn... Awesome

What about the eeprom chip? did you get that from pedalpcb preprogrammed?.. My vote is ic's from tayda.. I havent bought ic's or transistors from there because of this reason..
