Hi everyone,
I've just finished building a lead solder pedal. It was a pretty tight fit. The pedal works but the LED doesn't. I noticed the same issue with a thermionic I built, which is kinda same PCB pot layout. I have my LEDs in metal bezels, please correct me if I'm going down the wrong path here, but I feel like the LEDs legs are maybe getting crushed against the metal bezel or something under the PCB and shorting out. It's pretty much impossible to see what's going on in there without pulling everything out, which wouldn't let me see what's up anyway. Has anyone had this problem and am I on the correct path? I'll include a pic as well just in case.
