Raincoat - Difference between build docs and PCB

[gheorge77]

Just got this PCB to build and I noticed the parts list and PCB design in the build document is different from the PCB I received. Also the 3mm Red LED is missing on the PCB. I am guessing this is just a newer version but wanted some other thoughts, thanks!

When in doubt, go by the silkscreen on the Board

The LED symbol may look different to the build-doc, too, but I bet the LED is there.

i just noticed that too,. i'm going by the board labels, hope it works!

The components were moved around a few years ago and the LED symbol was updated but nothing else changed.

Look for A-K, i.e., Anode (+) - Cathode (-)

well. it works, but i'm not impressed with it at all . not much volume or distortion. the circuit is similar to a big muff without the clipping diodes but build doesn't sound right and i've checked everything.

the components don't match the pdf's layout.

Yup, they were moved around. At least there is a doc and the BOM should be right.

It looks like you have 3K9 resistors installed where 390R should be.
