Noisy Pauper

[ericrudd]

Finished up my first build today. A Pauper pedal. The good news is, the LED light up. The bad news, there is a bad ground hum in both foot switch positions. Uggghh. Where to start troubleshooting?
Any help appreciated.

Great work and it looks fantastic! Now I want to buy and build a Pauper on my next purchase of PCB's!

In case anyone wants to hear it, here’s a simple demo. Quick question in term of electronics, what affects the amount of gain? Is it the IC chip?

Here’s something I just discovered. The middle toggle “boost” setting sounds amazing with the gain dimed. It’s much more of an “opened up” overdrive sound.

Looks good!
