Hello,
I'm completely new to pedal building and decided to start with a couple of kits from Das Musikding, both featuring PedalPCB boards.
I've assembled their Woodpecker Tremolo, but it's not working, and I'm unsure how to troubleshoot it. The only components functioning are the gain circuit and the LED. The pedal passes audio when bypassed, and the gain works correctly, but there's no tremolo effect at all. I've tested for continuity (somewhat blindly) and noticed that one of the pots, the 10k one, has continuity between two of its legs, while the others do not, even when removed from the board. Is this normal?
The other kit I bought also includes a 10k pot, and it didn't show continuity initially. However, after I broke off the small metal tab for mounting, the same issue appeared with that pot as well. Is this common?
