The multi-meter has never given me trouble before, I am most likely just a moron. I will go back and do things again.

I disconnected the drain leg and got the same result.

no the drain leg was not disconnected. I will do that and try again.

I soldered on the temporary resistor and once again got no change in voltage.

I am not getting much of anything at all when I do this, only a few mV. Do you think my trim pot is bad?

Yes, P503.

It is the same either way. Nothing changed.

At minimum, I am getting 9.11 and at maximum, I am getting 9.16

I am an idiot. I was not running a probe to ground. Once I did this, they all measured 9.16V

Sorry it took me so long to get my measurements taken. I wasn't able to get to the pedal the last couple of days. Yellow is measuring between 9.12-9.17 as the trim pot is turned in either direction Red is only measuring a few mV and bouncing around inconsistently.

I got the through-hole ones from Banzai. I purchased the SMD from Musikding. The through-hole parts never made it all the way to full bias. two of them were around 3.1V. on Q2 and Q3 and the other was around 4.6V. at Q1. I got the SMD parts installed and soldered correctly in Q1 and Q3 and they...

I think the J201s are fake. They worked previously though (albeit not quite to the voltages I needed). I have tried soldering everything the way you suggested and it still isn't working right. I am really confused as to why this isn't working. I am still unable to get less than 9.1v from the...

I am about to try this method now. I tried the other way, using jumpers, and it is really ugly but I thought it should work. It doesn't. Does anyone see a glaring problem other than my board looks like an absolute dumpster fire at this point?

Yes, @music6000 the picture was really helpful. The colour-coded picture was probably necessary for my thick skull to understand. With this stuff I really need it spelt out like I am a small child.

I actually ruined the SMD part while trying to desolder, so I am going to reuse one of the fake J201's I bought that should go high enough to reach 4v. Sorry, for the confusion.

I feel like a child that keeps asking the same question over and over, but I want to clarify. I should link up the yellow and pink, and then wire the blue as you have shown (R8 connected to the J201 and C6). Is that right?

Yeah, pretty much just gone. I took out the through-hole J201 and messed up the drain. Then, trying to get out the surface mount adapter J201 I screwed up the other 2. To be honest, I have a cheap soldering Iron from Amazon and I was getting really frustrated. Plus, I'm not yet good at soldering...

Thank @music6000 for the help; the picture makes things really clear to me. I only screwed up Q2 so I should just need to run the jumpers for this section. As you can see in the photo my desoldering attempts really jacked up the board.

I did the full trifecta and screwed all three of them up. I want to make sure I do this right so I am going to ask what is probably an obvious question, just not obvious to me. Looking at the PCB picture posted would it be the top side of R7, R8, and R9? And would it be the positive side of C6...

If I am reading the schematic right, it looks like I need to connect the J201 to R7, R8, and R9 as well as C6. Is that right?
