Hi!
I've just got a problem with a Yellow Shark.
All pcb's holes was been hard to solder and a piece of link just jump of the board :(
What can I do?
Thank you

It's weekend man, patience! ;D
So, from what I gather, you lost the connection between round (cathode) LED pad and switch wire?
Sorry :-)
This is the single sided version.
I lost Sw and catode (circle)led pad
Thank you

Run a wire from square LED pad to offboard LED anode and another wire from LED cathode to switch, that's all.
Ok I'll try!
Thank you so much.
Good weekend man

That's gonna work for sure, what you lost does nothing more than give you nice labeled pads. It's a connection from LED cathode to wire which you can skip altogether since the LED is offboard anyways.
understood.there's always something to learn :-)
Thank you man

No problem! Let us know when you sort it out!
Sorry man,
but I think that this pcb is faulty.
Now has jump off the "out" pad :'(
They letterally came off from the pcb

No problem, just solder it anywhere on the track leading from the missing pad. Hole is not really necessary if the wires are not under stress.
Ok thanks!

Your iron might be too hot, also try to make the time you're on a pad with your iron less than 6 sec
I agree that your iron may be too hot if you are lifting traces and pads that easily/quickly.

310 °c, few seconds
Already assembled Pork Barrel and a Retrograde and many other pedals from musikding and tagboard with no problem.
60/40 Solder
is that pcb from me? i do not recognize your screen name.
fwiw i have not heard anyone else complain of defective material, but i will send you another one free of charge on different material if you would like (if you bought that one from me). can you pm me?
I think the problem is worsened by soldering the wires from the same side as the copper. When you pull the wires you are putting all that stress on the copper. Put the wires through the side without copper and solder. When the wire gets pulled, it will pull the copper towards the PCB and less likely to lift.
