Hey there! My first SMD build, after many, many, many pedals, more than 20 so I would say it's a new thing but I'm not a beginner in soldering, but of course it wouldn't work right out of the Iron.
I measured with the tester and after the diode, it bridges the + to the ground, my question is, with visual inspection I don't see any legs being bridged or anything, how would you troubleshoot this guy and find what's causing the ground issue? I don't have a heatgun to remove SMD ICs, it's gonna be a pain in the ass to have to remove them one by one until I find Which IC is the problem, but what if it's not an IC?
I also added a volume pot, 100k at the output of the PCB because I read complaints of this pedal beeing too loud on its own, so there you go.
Thank you!
