Reflowed everything on the pcb, made sure solder is visible on both sides of the board for all the components I can see, but still sounds the same

I checked all the resistor legs as far as I can see, and I put on cut-up bottle caps on the dual gang because I don't have anything specifically for it either, still same issue...

Yes, even when I make sure absolutely nothing touches the pots, the problem persists.

Like you said, not a problem yet, but I’m definitely clipping off those loose ends.

Can confirm, those are definitely 10K's.

Volume and tone pot sounds and feels fine, but the drive pot makes the circuit sound strange; no output when set to 0, very loud but barely distorted sound when set to max. Parts used not as listed on build guide: (Original - My choice) 1N914 - 1N4148 All the 1/8W resistors - 1/4W resistors...

Mistyped, I meant 325 Celcius, sorry about that. And yeah, after this experience I will for sure invest in the pot covers. I'll try setting my iron hotter for tinning wires next time. Thank you!

Update: Added electrical tapes on top so the pot body would not make contact with the pot leg from the one above and it seemed to do the trick and I have no issue now.

My soldering iron's usually set at 325F. I built a pedal with tinning all the wires once, but I struggled to put the tinned wires through the PCB holes due to it being thicker by solidified solder, are there any tips and trick for an easier process?

I'm just putting on few layers of electrical tape on the back, but it still works when I push towards the board when out of the case, so I assume that's not the issue?

Not having any issue with the dual gang, the problem child is the single ganged one that is right next to it

The classic "pedal works until put in the enclosure" problem, except I already know that potentiometer ("Bass" control) touching the bare metal enclosure is causing the output signal to short into the ground, and I still have no idea how to resolve this issue. This also happened during my Muffin...
