Some of your solder joints look quite professional. But just for your own piece of mind, it would be good to hit anything that looks blob-like with a solder sucker and just reapply. Desoldering is a skill that you will quickly master with these things, ha.

Yeah, they are. They sort of have a bulbous outcropping on the positive leg and, you can't see it from the pic, the + symbol points to that leg. In this picture, the positive is on top.

For what it's worth, here's a pic of the board. I think pictures make it easier to note the value of these 1% resistors, so that's even helpful to my old eyes. The ICs are easy to screw up, but in this case I oriented them correctly. Last night I cleaned up a couple of suspect solders (and I...

Yeah, I"ve seen that. I've thought about buying one but I am just barely committed to this hobby, to be honest. I swear that every pedal I build is the last one I'm gonna build. I think I've broken that promise nine times at this point. Ha. Another curious question. PedalPCB has two discreet...

Thanks. I will post a pic if I get a chance. I've been on a bit of a losing streak so am cynically not surprised that it didn't work the first time. I'll do some cleanup work on it tonight (there are a few solder joints I'm not happy with) and then start a troubleshoot checklist and go from...

Thanks. I prefer to check continuity from the backside. Its just cleaner. Very easy to inadvertently touch the DMM probe to the clutter of components on the PCB face. It's just a preference.

Well, yeah, but its maybe a bit more confusing that way. I like to check continuity from the backside of the board (and that tells only part of the story) and I don't want to be flipping the board all the time trying to determine which component I'm actually testing at the moment. (That would...

This is aimed at the PedalPCB administrator. Finished a Kliche and, of course, it doesn't work. I get no sound in bypass and an open channel sound (the hum you get from a hot 1/4 jack when you touch it) when engaged and the LED works as it should. So the troubleshooting phase starts now, I...
