If and once you manage to find the fault and fix it, there is often a moment of elation, euphoria, ... . So I don't like troubleshooting either, but I like to tie it together with a "joyful" ending to make it feel better. And as you pick up new tricks, your confidence ought to grow a little each time. Just completed a Meatball clone from another maker. It was complex. I had one bad solder found with audio probe (first use) and another, unclear where because I redid the wires to the stomp board after some suspected glitching and it worked. But the pedal is quite complex to dial in. Add a sensitivity to playing, pickups in the mix and it was quite easy to get lost. But I learned how to trace connections better with my DMM, and how to use a looper + audio probe. I still expect it to have some more surprises in for me considering how much it has been like teaching a cat tricks, or handling a 5-year old with a temper........ I don't know anyone that actively enjoys troubleshooting, maybe some masochists do I've had to learn to deal with offboard wiring, which is my least favorite part of building pedals. I wouldn't say I enjoy it, but I dread it a lot less now that I've done it more.....
Did this on a couple of recent builds. Thankfully a quick and painless fix.Not installing ICs or transistors in their sockets
I've just done it a third timeDid this on a couple of recent builds. Thankfully a quick and painless fix.
