Potential Dark Riff Board Issue?

[gonzo]

Took me a bit to troubleshoot the delay only repeating once, until I found R10 and C10 weren't making contact. I tried reflowing to no avail, so I ending up adding a jumper wire to the two points ( see the bottom most wire hanging off the board). After looking on here, I've seen a few people who've had similar issues. I'm wondering if it's possible there was a defect on a few boards? Maybe someone with a non-functional one can see if these two points are making contact.

Anyways, I got it running and it sounds great. You can never have too many delays.

I think you accidentally made the name way cooler.

I built a Dark Rift and it worked fine, I just didn't like it.

You look like you have some cold joints/blobs in multiple places. What does the bottom look like?

I didn't get a picture. It works fine now. It's just odd I couldn't reflow the two spots to make contact.

I have a chain of resistors up top that looks ugly. Somehow I didn't have an 18k, so I made one.

Fwiw, I've had the occasional board with the same issue - both PedalPCB boards and those I've had manufactured. Out of interest I pulled components and the pads themselves had zero continuity.

I think it's just the rare one that slips through QC
