Don’t get me wrong, I love drill presses. I’ll read as many drill press threads as y’all want to post. 🤣 We can do best benchtop, best desktop, best pocket sized… My submission for best unreasonably large: My 60’s Swedish gearhead drill with power down feed. Boss tr2 for scale

We just did this: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/benchtop-drill-press-experiences.28391/

Build report / gut shots please.

Depending what I’m trying to troubleshoot, I’ve often just played music from my phone. Works fine for finding where the signal dies and a lot less annoying to listen to than a beeeeeeeeeeeep from a tone generator. If it’s something where you really need to hear what the pedal is doing to a...

Looking at this pic, I can clearly see the red band on R11, so you're probably good on those. I'm confused about R10 though. If I'm understanding the angles of these pics right, those should be the same resistor from different angles, but they definitely don't look the same. Did you swap that...

The third bands on these don't look very red to me, but they also look like what you've got in R11, so maybe it's just the paint/ picture/ lighting, and those are all correct.

R6 should be red, red, black, orange, brown R10 should be brown, black, black, red, brown

Same question on the fourth band of R9. Should be red for 47k, but looks brown there which would be 4.7k

R11 should be 10k - brown, black, black, red, brown. Looks like that one might be 1k? Reds and browns can be tricky in pictures though.

Great job on the wraparound art!

Nice knobs.

Yeah! I’m glad you added those pics. Looks to me like your jacks are backwards. If you look close you can see where the terminals connect to. Guitar signal is on the tip, so your signal wire to the footswitch should connect to the long part of the jack that touches the cable tip.

When the pedal is not activated, the only things in the circuit are the footswitch and the input and output jacks. I’d start there and solve that problem before going any further. Your wiring connections look right to me, but it sounds like something isn’t right,

I like the holes.

I spot checked a few resistors and didn’t find any errors other than the possible one @micmac noted above. I was thrown by these initially, but it looks like you bought some .1% tolerance resistors with a purple band at the end? I had to check Tayda - I didn’t even know they sold those! I...

Take some pictures and post them here. General advice - first check all the wires are going to the right places. If you’re lighting the LED and getting bypass signal, you did at least most of that right. Second, go through and verify each part on the board. Use the color codes on the...

I'd be curious to see a pic that shows the orientation of that smd adapter, and maybe some that show all the pins of that middle opamp made it into the socket.

Looks like you need a jack with a switched tip.

Start building guitars - duh :rolleyes:
