Hello everyone!
I'm building my first ever pedal, the Amentum (Musikding kit) and have trouble getting it to work!
When I first put it together the output was very very low, but switched off the guitar signal still went through the pedal.
I double checked all components and wiring, checking for bridges and reflowed all the solder joints again. I know the wires look a little messy now in these pics but they were cleaner before I reflowed and rewired things.
Then, the same low ouput happened but only now the guitar signal doesn't bypass through when the pedal is off anymore!
I tried replacing the switch for one without the breakout board incase I bridged the switch under the board somewhere but it didn't solve it!
Any help appreciated! I'm not a total soldering noob but never soldered a PCB till now - watched a lot of youtube vids before starting though.
