So *ahem* *cough* as I've tried to build pedals (and inevitably screw up 3/4s of them,) I've gotten great troubleshooting tips from y'all... but often still can't figure out what's going on with my circuit.
Folks suggested a multimeter and oscilloscope would be useful, so I picked those up and....
... I can't figure out what to do with them.
I've looked for tutorials and/or videos, but haven't found anything super useful. I even found one called "how to troubleshoot with a multimeter," but I still don't really get what I'm doing wrong.
Like, even just setting the multimeter on the speaker icon, I touch the two probes together and get a beep, but literally don't get a beep if I touch the two ends of a resistor. I thought... but... ???
Anyway, this is an overly long way of asking how people learned their tools and if anyone has suggestions (or links to tutorials or videos) on how to ... multimet.
... and don't get me started on the oscilloscope, I haven't even turned this on. ?
