Micro Addition plus

I just finished this up and the gain pot isn't doing anything. I've tested the pot on a multimeter and I tried a new TL072 chip. I can't figure anything else to be hanging it up.

Post pictures both sides of the pcb so all component values and orientation can be clearly seen

I apologize, I knew I needed pics but I didn't realize I need to compress them first. Had to figure it all out on my phone. I just edited my post to add pics.

No need to apologise just makes it easier to hopefully help

Have you visually checked all your component values and orientation are correct
 
Old thread. I just built one and am having the same problem. I only get sound when the gain is at 10. I might get the crumb board for amplification and try it. There’s too much resistance somewhere. Maybe it’s the gain pot.

Could you post some pics? It's been a while since I built one of these but I don't remember it lacking gain.
 
I took the 1N5817 diode out to finish another pedal. This is in the pile of “doesn’t work” pedals.
I'd take the guts of the pedal out of the enclosure;
start a new thread of its own with lots of detailed pics (lotsa light),
and maybe post a link to this thread in its own thread.

You'll get more traction (help) with a fresh new thread of your own than bumping an old topic.
