Hey all, first time poster here. This is the first ground-up build I've done so there have been some missteps along the way to where I am now. Mainly my first attempt at drilling caused my pot holes to be off enough where I had to wire the pot lugs directly into the PCB, which is fine but just a pain in the ass. Additionally I drilled a hole for a different LED I was planning on adding and found that it would not all fit in the enclosure in that arrangement so I removed that LED and will just settle for not having one at the moment until I get this working and then I'll assess. So the pcb is kind floating around on top of the pots, but I put electrical tape on the backs of them to prevent shorts.
So when I'm plugged in and powered the pedal functions in bypass, when engaged there is a hissing sound so there must be a grounding issue somewhere. Additionally when engaged and hissing, if I twist the knobs I can hear them manipulating the hiss, so it is working in some capacity. I tested for continuity and there is continuity.
I will post my voltage readings for the ICs which are among the most absurd I've ever seen (which leads me to some pretty fearful conclusions about maybe I sourced all the wrong parts or something) and some pictures. I am still learning so any and all help would be much appreciated. I am in need.
Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for the help. Forums are always awesome.
