Troubleshooting 

All PCB’s have been

 100% factory e-tested and out of every batch I receive I build a effect to double 

check, so there should not be a connection problem on the PCB itself. 

The board is not working (at all), what now?  

 

Check if your 9V is plugged in correctly (and/or soldered correctly on the board). 

 

Check that you oriented 

the capacitors, IC’s ,transistors and diodes the right way.

 SMF, MKT 

capacitors and resistors do not need to be oriented.  

 

Check if you used the correct values of the components. For resistors you can look here:

Double and triple check your soldering! A loose or cold solder can be really bad for your 
board. Also check if switch enclosures do not short connections as most switches have a 
metal enclosure. 

 

Replace th

e IC’

s and transistors, one might be defective. Before doing that first unplug the 9V 

and wait 5 seconds. 

 

Check that you have good/high grade components. A lot of Chinese sourced parts are fakes 
(especially high end opamps, vintage diodes and transistors) so be careful that you source 
your parts from reliable suppliers.
