SOLVED My VHS VCR is a VC--SOLVED

[Jonnytexas]

Long time lurker, first time poster. To give background on my experience, I have built around 40 pedals from BYOC and Guitarpcb. This was my first pedalpcb as well as my first foray into SMD. Thanks for the great board!! Bypass works, LEDS light as expected, and boost and chorus work great. The reverb does nothing. I am strongly suspecting something with the FV-1 (and my soldering thereof). I have done the usual re-flowong and looking for misplaced components. I can not as of yet read schematics. Are there certain pins I should be looking at on the FV-1 for the reverb? Also, I did not have the 5817 dode and used a 4001. I also opted to add a footswitch for the boost function, which is working fine and I assume has nothing to do with tne reverb issue. Any help is appreciated

Can you post some pictures of the board?

Pin 20 of the FV-1 is the only pin going to the reverb pot that isn’t attached to the chorus circuit as well, so that’d be my first suspect. That and the lugs of the reverb pot.

Thanks Nostradoomus!! I re-flowed pin 20 and it's working. Thanks a million.

Don't forget to add the "Solved" title.

I was hoping that's all it would turn out to be--gives me hope of bringing my own recent FV-1 builds back to life!

Thanks to all that replied. The pedal is a lot of fun, very cool sounding ambiance. The FV-1 was challenging, but I think I learned enough to not be scared of these in the future. I did have to use my desoldering iron a few times to clean up some solder bridges.
