SOLVED PCB Continuity Check?

[yazooligan]

Hey folks. I had a PCB designed by someone on Fiverr last year and just got around to building the pedal and I’m having trouble with it. I’m losing signal close to the end of the circuit an I’ve triple checked my build and reflowed all my solder joints. I’ve also verified the off board wiring isn’t the problem using the pedal PCB auditorium.

Would someone be willing to look at my cad files and make sure they’re correct?

How about just testing the continuity of the PCB with a multimeter? Presumably you have a schematic and know how the signal should flow?

It's always possible that the PCB design is correct but you accidentally burned a trace somewhere. Testing the actual continuity would reveal that and you could put a jumper in to fix it.

Although it's also possible that the CAD is faulty to begin with, but that is not a conclusive test. If you find the issue on the actual PCB it would be simpler to check if the same error is in the CAD file or not.

Thanks for the help. The issue was indeed the PCB because the schematic I gave them was wrong to begin with. And the circuit worked and sounded great until it hit that extra ground connection. I’m not sure what the going rate is for someone to design a PCB but I don’t feel ripped off in the slightest. If you’d like to recommend a designer be my guest.
