TL;DR — I am dumb, overpopulated the board, jammed up the voltages, and caused pedal no worky. Pulled extra components and read correctly = pedal worky.
Some of you may have been following along with The Idiot’s Guide to Building A Deeptronic Freeze Pedal. Today, we finish the guide.
Final chapter:
FOR THOSE OF YOU BUILDING IT — READ THE BOM AND DONT STUFF THE BOARD DUE TO HABITS OF PCB STUFFING!
*also, maybe put heat shrink over the regulator because the metal tab is about (3.3v) and is really close to the module.* *oh, and check the height because the L1173.3 regulator is a to-220 and quite large*
Anyways, once I figured out I had too many components
, then grabbed the correct voltage regulator 
, it actually factually worked.
It will take a bit of time to get used to the hold, but it sounds so cool. No knobs yet, but another rad ChickenWing enclosure (still have one more!) that is pale blue/gray with a cosmic color shift. If I had talent, I’d record it and demo it, but I am horribleaweful. Enjoy the pretty pictures instead.
