Hi, I made a post on r/DIYPedals but had no luck. Figured its worth reposting here -

Hi everyone, Having what appears to be a common issue with my hydra delay build. LED turns on. When the mix pot is set to full wet signal, I get nothing. Clean comes through when that pot is turned to anything below full wet.

So it seems that the delay path isn’t working.

Does anyone see anything obviously wrong here?

The led isn’t soldered in yet.

I have already reflowed the c50k pot. Anything else I'm missing?
 
I figured it out. I used the wrong capacitor next to the crystal.
what did you use? I almost got lazy on my first FV1 build and used a 10p but I'm glad I waited. I don't understand what it does other than something to do with the crystal, so that's why I'm curious.

Nice job debugging!
 
I am not sure because I kind of mangled the cap while I was removing it. What tipped me off is that it was a different color than a prevoius FV-1 build and I know that the 15p value was unique so I only had a bag of a few of those.
