Almost drowned building this one. It needed three hours for me to troubleshoot the issues that were present for my build.
There was no sound at all when boxing it up so out came the trusty audioprobe. First issue was that both the J201 and the 2SK208-Y needed reflowing. I thought I had fried them but luckily didn't. This was my first go at surface mount soldering so I'm glad I didnt mess it up.
The next issue was a dodgy V3207D chip in combination with a colder solder joint on the pin 3 of the socket which is the input of the IC which made troubleshooting confusing.
I think I will go with the metal stamp lettering approach for this pedal at some point but I'm going to leave it blank for a while. All in all this is a great sounding pedal. I need to find the sweet spot for the BBD and gate trimmers but its not far off.
