okay cool. I thought I needed to attach gator clips and all that. Any helpful diagram for how it should be connected? It would have to be something easily reversed

Checked and no continuity with the +/- pads. i assume that is a good thing. I do have continuity between most of the grounds ( I didn't test them all) I touched up a few pads but didn't have time to test. If it still isn't working, I may try swapping the SMD J201s for some through hole JFETs...

I have some solder wick and smaller solder coming in. I am going to try to redo some of my joints just to be sure. I only removed the capacitor once. It was the only component I removed, but I will check everything close by to make sure it's good. I will also check continuity at the +/-...

Those are also 100pf. They are just a different kind of ceramic capacitor. The cheaper ones from Tayda. An audio probe does sound like a good solution. Since I am hearing a hum when it is engaged would it be reasonable to think something is shorting to ground?

I will I will have to take some readings later this weekend. I am pretty sure that c6 is 100pf but I am wondering if I put the wrong values at c8 and c11

I got them all from Mouser MMBFJ201

Yessir that is how I have it connected. I actually tried the other way too just to make sure. When the pedal is engaged and connected the correct way there is a hum.

I did. All the jfets now have continuity. Unfortunately I still don't have any sound when the pedal is engaged.

I will definitely reflow my joints. Admittedly, I have been using solder that is too large for circuit boards, but it's 60/40 rosin core stuff from RadioShack that I've had for years. I am waiting for it and some wick to come in. The iron that I am using does have adjustable temp but it goes...

I believe so since I am able to get sound from my guitar when bypassed

Discovered the issue is coming from the volume pot.. Sea Lion flicker

I can't upload the video here but here is a link: Sea Lion LED flicker

I'm not sure what you mean? Would you be able to edit the pic?

Okay so I know the issue is happening with the Level pot. I connected the pedal to power and started messing with things. As I was moving around I discovered that if I touch the volume pot, then the LED will go in and out intermittently. I am going to try cleaning the pot and the pads and see...

Q4 is good to go. I actually performed the same test on all the Jfets and Q2 blue doesn't appear to have continuity.

If you're referring to the top of the board the 3 ground wires are for the in/out jacks and dc jack

I may have to go see about getting some gator clips and making one

No worries. I removed the cap and put it back in and later realized it was in the correct way all along haha. I did try to clean up my ends. I do need to scrub the board as it's gotten a little messy from touching up the pads. Here are some pics I just took.

Flipped c10 and went over any long leads and checked for solder bridges. No luck.

It turns out I accidentally left out R28 which is pretty dumb of me. However, this didn't fix the problem. I checked all of my connections and I can't see any bridges, but I did use my iron and a knife to make sure. Not sure what else to check
