Oasis tone and volume not doing anything

[Sabardo]

This is my first completed build.

Everything else seems to be fine with the pedal but i can't hear volume or tone pots doing any difference to sound. Drive works as it should tho.

I measured the pots multimeter and get reading out of them so they are not broken.

The soldering on those 2 pots and your toggle switches looks either quite cold or almost non existent. Reflow all of the above and see what happens.

i got the level to work by resoldering it, I think i ruined the pcb on the tone part. Those small metal rings came out of the pcb and now the solder wont stick to the pcb anymore.

Is there anyway to get this to work or shoudl i just get completely new kit?

You could rig it up with a fixed resistor somewhere, your tone would never be able to change but the pedal will still work.

I would recommend buying some prototyping or stripboard and really work on your soldering before attempting another project...you’ll thank yourself later on!

You can take a look at the schematic and run wires from the pot lugs to the previous/next component in line.

Yes this is what i meant, i quite a newbie with this so i'm not yet so experienced with reading schematics.

Buy a new board. This was your practice run.
If the pads are lifting off of the board, then you are using too much heat. You cannot leave the solfdering iron on the board for long periods of time. Where do you have the iron temp set?

 

[Sabardo]

My soldering iron temperature range is from 200 C to 450 C and i use it about a quarter/third away from max.

I run mine at 400C to 425C, so you're in the ballpark. Maybe nudge the temp up a little higher.

I had to edit this post, I really do know F from C.
