Hello, I have been trying to make the sherwood pedal but I am running into an issue. When I hook the pedal up to my guitar and amp (without pedal enclosure) when strumming there is little to no noise coming through. I can hear the strumming if I turn the volume up really high but even with that the notes are distorted.
I am assuming that I have a short or an increase in resistance somewhere but I've been looking at this pedal for the better part of 2 days and can't figure it out. I have three things in my mind that I feel could be the answer.
1. The resistor values all appear to be correct before I solder them but when I put them in the board they seem to decrease
2. I have a cold joint somewhere
3. the large teal capacitors I used have a high voltage radical of 1.25kV
Here are some photos of the build.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!
