Howdy,
I wanted to learn more about soldering and making electronics, so I bought the Aurum drive and Tommy to learn. I started with the Aurum, but after finishing the soldering process the pedal doesn't work. Since I have no idea where to start looking for the mistakes/errors/issues I'll post here to learn . I already had contact with the pedalpcb email address, since I suspected I did the jack wiring the wrong way around, so I have switched those around now, but the problem persists.
What does work currently:
- When you press the foot switch, the led will turn on.
- When the led is on (engaged foot switch), no sound is coming out of the pedal.
- When the led is off (non-engaged foot switch), my uncolored guitar signal is coming through.
- Nothing else.
What did work with switched jack wires (as I had previously, yellow on long/outer ring and blue on short/inner ring):
- When you press the footswitch, the led will turn on.
- When the led is on (engaged foot switch), my uncolored guitar signal is coming through.
- When the led is off (non-engaged foot switch), my uncolored guitar signal is coming through.
- The volume control seems to work.
- Nothing else.
Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong/where I can start searching for the problems?
Check the photo below to get an impression of the pedal. I can make more photos if wanted . Thanks a lot in advance and cheers.
