Buggfx Daydream no wet signal

[Johngkirkland]

Hi all, happy Thanksgiving!

I am a noob and I need help troubleshooting. I purchased the Buggfx Daydream with the pre-soldered FV1. This is the first build I've had trouble with, so I am trying to learn how to figure out where the problem is.

The pedal gets power, LED comes on, and I get a dry signal both switched on and off. When switched on, the volume knob works, but I get no effects and the other controls do nothing. When I turn up the Mix knob, I get no wet signal, just less and less dry signal the higher I turn it.

I made an audio probe and started tracing from the input. I get signal all the way up to legs 1 and 2 of the FV1, but no output on leg 28. I have checked the voltage and I am getting 3.3v on legs 6, 8 and 13, and 3.3v on 16/17 (depending on toggle position) and also 3.3v on leg 23.

So I am getting signal up to the FV1 and it is receiving power, but no audio output. I will post some pics in case it helps. I do not see any obvious shorts but my soldering definitely isn't perfect.

Thanks for any advice!

Check clock on pine 9/10 if your DMM has a freq count feature or you have an oscope

Lift one side of R5 and see if the internal programs work.

Thanks for the reply. My meter doesn't have a frequency setting. I lifted R5 and I now get a wet signal.
