I have the Cast Iron finished and it worked for several days. Then overnight it won't pass any signal in bypass or activated.
Checking the footswitch I was getting continuity where it wasn't wanted - in bypass on lugs 1 & 2, and 5 & 6 when effect was on. I checked the continuity switch before the build and it was good, and then after soldering the PedalPCB Breakout Board.
I took the switch out because I thought I had another to replace it but it turns out I don't.
Then I checked the continuity again and it was all good. So I thought maybe the problem was one of the tips of one of the IN, GND, SW or OUT wires touching underneath the Breakout Board that I couldn't see earlier. I put it back in making sure that none the tips of the wires don't have a chance of touching each other. Now continuity test has the same problems as above.
I am going to get a new footswitch but I am trying to solve this mystery.
