BYOC Brown Face stripboard query

[Solder of Destiny]

It's alive!

I desoldered the whole board and migrated the components to a fresh piece of stripboard. Soldering went much more smoothly with magnification.

One thing though: my depth pot is working in reverse: most intense at fully anti-clockwise and vice versa.

The image shows how I've imagined the lug numbering should be. Am I wrong?

But yours isn’t entirely wrong.

So I wired my depth pot like so... Do you know why the depth knob is working in reverse?

The only thing I can think of is the layout is wrong. In my experience, some of the schematics are wrong. My guess is intentionally. It took me a couple of weeks to figure out why the reverb was operating in reverse.

The depth pot wiring needs to be mirrored from my take in post #23 above. Works fine now. Very nice-sounding pedal.

Oh yeah, it sounds fantastic. The brown face amps with the harmonic trem sound great.
