I can confirm that all of the opamp pins are correctly seated, because I pulled them yesterday and tried other ones to make sure the issue wasn't with one of the opamps themselves. I double-checked the seating when I put them back. I can probably grab a pic of the J201 adapter board when I get...

Thanks for the tips. I don't have an audio probe, but I think I can check most of the other things you mentioned this weekend!

That's much appreciated! And yeah, I hate to give up on it, but I'm afraid at this point there's not much else to sort through that I actually know how to do. I'm going to give it another once-over this weekend, but if that comes up snake eyes, I'll reach out.

The 2n5088s are correct--at least, that's what's stamped on the side of each one. The J201 is using the surface mount adapter, but the soldering appears clean, and I oriented it the same as on some other pedals where they're working fine. So I feel like the transistors are okay.

I felt like that was probably the case. I was just running out of things to try, so I figured why not. They're back in their original position now, just in case I come up with something else to try! :)

Well, I wired in a new switch without the breakout board, and no dice. I checked the value of every component and everything looks good, except that I found two discrepancies between the build docs and the PCB silk screen. First, I found R6 and R10 being reversed between the two, so I swapped...

I've been pondering this since yesterday evening, and I'm wondering if it's possible that maybe some solder made some unwanted connections under the breakout switch board. I don't really know if something like that would cause the sound to go wonky while not cutting it off entirely, but do any...

I double-checked this one, because it did look different, but I think I've got 10k resistors from two different suppliers, and they just look slightly different. The red band doesn't show up great in the picture, unfortunately. Both R7 and R11 in the picture tested at 10k. This one also checked...

Hi All, So out of the dozen or so PedalPCB projects I've built in past few weeks, all of them are working perfectly, except for the Butt Head pedal. The way that it's not working has me scratching my head, though, so I thought I'd post here and see if anyone has any ideas on where to even...

Good news! I'm not sure what this issue was between the 9v pad and the anode pad, but running the leg of the LED anode just a bit further through the anode pad hole and then just bending it over and soldering it to the 9v pad solved the problem completely. Pedal works (and sounds amazing), and...

Quick follow-up: in looking at the pedal schematic, it seems like the LED indicator circuit is pretty simple: 9v to anode, out the cathode to the limiting resistor, from there to the footswitch, and then to ground. So, if I've got continuity from the cathode through the resistor to the switch...

Okay, an update: when I checked voltage at the anode pad with the black probe to ground, it only showed a voltage of .003-.001. Same with checking the cathode pad to ground. (So, no 9v or 4K7 reading.) Since those readings weren't right, I checked continuity from cathode pad to R100 and got...

That's helpful! One thing I was struggling with was seeing (based on the schematic) the current path through the 3PDT. When I get a chance, I'll work through this troubleshooting workflow and check back in. Thanks again!

I just double-checked, and the multimeter lights the LED up when I touch the red probe to the anode pad and the black probe to the cathode pad. Reversing the probes results in no light, so it looks like the anode and cathode are connected to the correct PCB pads. It's a head-scratcher.

Hi All, I've been on a run of knocking out several PedalPCB pedals lately, and they've all been working fine on the first try, but my streak was stopped last night when I tested my Cobalt Drive pedal. It sounds fine, but the LED doesn't light up when the effect is on. I've checked the LED using...

Thanks! Sounds like both should work!

Thank you!

Hi All, Quick question: I've built out the PCB for the Butt Head Distortion, and I'm getting ready to order the enclosure for it and some other pedals, but there's not Tayda drilling template for the Butt Head on the product page. Does anyone know if this one would work for the Butt Head...

@gtfields13, did you end up building your Muffinator with this template? If so, did the template work? Getting ready to place an order for a Muffinator enclosure and would love to have Tayda do the drilling! :)

Good call! This place is the best, even when I f up. :)
