Hey there, I’m really impressed with the durability & quality of this PCB. Utilizing the footswitch daughter-board this is the most organized & neat looking circuit I’ve seen. But I’m having problems..
I’m generally pretty good with this stuff, but I cannot get it working. I get a bypassed signal but there’s no sound engaged. There’s some ambiguity in the documentation related to pot placement and off board wiring. And I believe my guessing is what’s causing the problem.
Specifically, there isn’t any indication of the correct side & orientation to mount the pots/switch on the PCB.. I foolishly assumed that logically the non-marked/non-component populated side was where they should be placed and soldered them in. I realized afterwards that the led appears intended to go on the component side and then I remembered that the pcb pots/switches are mounted on the component side of my Lovepedal. Am I correct in assuming that the component side is correct? And then which direction should the pots be facing?
Also, I’m not 100% certain which lugs the wire should go to on the audio & power jacks. There are no indicators for tip, sleeve etc.. I’m assuming I have it done correctly since there’s bypassed signal? I was able to confirm voltage at the proper locations. I’d troubleshoot further but my multimeter only has voltage, ohms, & diode measurement capability.
I’d certainly appreciate any advice or guidance you might offer. Thanks!
