You can reflow a few times if you limit the time the iron is on the pad and you let the pad cool completely before trying it again. This takes practice and the pad can’t be compromised beforehand.

Nope, I'm married! the wife is usually in the kitchen, floating about the ceiling when I bake enclosures. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Check the resistance of all your resistors. The board is designed for 1/8w resistors, which are about 3.5mm long, you used 1/4w resistors that are 6.8mm long. This shouldn't be an issue, except you bent the heck out of the leads to get them to lay on the board. if you use 1/4w resistors, you...

I was responding when Mr. PedalPCB posted the diagram above with exactly what I was fixing to say. Thanks @PedalPCB ! That joint was one of the ones I thought was an issue, the solder was a blob and real grainy, that's the easy sign of a cold joint.

I bake my enclosures with no problems. I use a regular gas oven though. Works great and humidity is never an issue. I usually do mine at 275 for 30 mins, it super hard and much stronger than air drying. After water slide decals I coat it with clear lacquer then bake it at 200 for 15 mins...

Real Nice! How does it sound, just wondering because I have a PCB on the way.

Super Clean builds, looks great!

A couple of good looking pedals!

NICE!! I Love old school pin ups, Bettie is a goddess!

This is what I’m describing with the paper towels. Be quick with the wipes since the iron is hot.

Ok you have a quite a few cold solder joints. This happens from the solder iron not being hot enough or taking the iron away from the joint to soon. A lot of people pull the iron early, afraid they may damage board. You have more time than you think, 6secs is max, try to stay 3 or 4 secs and...

Awesome!!! Start a new thread for each one. And somehow you can Mark this one solved.

Chuck, Another great piece! Thanks for enlighten us!

1. When cleaning with IPA, the only components you need to be careful of are the pots. When cleaning the back side of the board, just make sure the pots are up and don't pour IPA on them. If cleaning front side of board, just a drop or two at a time with pots installed. As for dipping or...

Those stood out the most! And you are correct, all could use a touch up.

Great looking build, love the graphics.

NICE! The matching knobs and washers are sharp! BBD chips are on their way for this one, can't wait!

Killing it Again!

Holy Cow!!! That is super clean! Looks amazing as always!

It looks like there is no solder on pins 1 and 2 of the tone pot from the back, they may be cold solder joints. Re-solder those points and check it. There is no problem with checking the pedal with the back off, its quite common for some people to test it for the first time this way, its also...
