    Help troubleshooting a pedalpcb board

    Depends on which 2 legs of the pot. Pots might show continuity between middle and edge pins when dialed all the way in one direction. (e.g. a 10K pot goes from 0 ohms to 10k ohms, so if it's dialed all the way to zero, then you get the beep). +1 to pictures. And if everything works except...

    “Up, Down, Daddy!” / Pearl OC-07

    This does look pretty interesting. I might try something in KiCAD in the next week or two. If I did, I would do the layout with SMD parts and just have it PCBA'd by JLC, though. With SMD it'd be pretty trivial to fit it in a 125B enclosure. I guess I could make it with the smallest part as...

    Accidentally put 18V into a Mofeta - what did I fry?

    Is your op-amp IC socketed? That's really easy to try. You should be able to measure the resistance across the caps in-circuit; if any of them measure very low resistance they might be cooked. Do you have an audio probe[link] of any kind? If the previous advice doesn't help narrow it down...

    SOLVED Lone king low output

    Ah, C3/C4 are supposed to be 220nF (0.22uF) tantalums, not 220uF electrolytics. (I had to double check when you said these chonky bois were part of the audio path!) I imagine 220nF film capacitors would work just fine there too if you can get them into the space. (Leads might be closer together...

    General Tso Troubleshooting

    I don't see a slam dunk problem, but: See if you can clean up the backside of the board with an old toothbrush and some isopropyl alcohol. There's a lot of flux residue on there which makes it hard to see the actual soldering work in your second picture. Some of the soldering of the wires onto...

    Soldering question

    I found that I'd get solder to flow through to the other side much more reliably when I started using additional tacky flux - the rosin core isn't always enough. The correct amount of flux is "more"!

    Have you tried hiding the copper layers when you're trying to edit your silkscreen?
