Absolutely. Here you go. Before I soldered in the pots I triple checks all of the welds in that area of the board.

The only voltages I can get at this point are from the EHX powersupply and from the DC jack. The power supply is providing 34vdc. As wired in the original picture, the jack was providing no voltage. So, I moved the black wire (-24v) to the other lug of jack. The white wire (+24v) stayed on the ground lug. Now, I can verify that I am getting 34vdc to the jack. And that is +34vdc at the center.

However, when I plug it into the board it immediately starts to toast R57 (240R). I got no readings at the voltage regulator.

Weird thought but is there any chance that the 240pf (C40) cap is the wrong kind? I noticed in this build (https://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=28533.msg276786#msg276786, midway down the page) that his cap is MASSIVE and I just have a small little yellow MLCC.

Yep the 470uf cap appears to be wired correctly

Okay I know I'm probably missing something obvious. I've looked at every single photo I could find and read the instructions and searched on here and read everything I can find.

I just can't figure out what's wrong. I wired my jack like the photo but I was only get 13V on the regulator. Using an EHX 24v + center.

So I figured that wasn't right and switched the negative lead to the other nib on the DC jack and fried the 240R resistor. So I switched it back (as pictured). What am I missing?

So sorry to resurrect a VERY old thread but the graphics are amazing. Any chance you can share your strategy or any AI files you used to create it? I'm about to build the same pedal and would love to use some graphics like that.

Hmmm! I hope I didn't hose myself. I ordered a GORVA S90 (1509BBM), which is 1.54" tall. I guess if it doesn't work I'll have to order the 1590C. I managed to track down all of the parts and I had a spare EHX 24v center-positive from a QTron+ I have.

Noodling my graphix while the parts are on the way.

Hey awesome build and sounds fantastic. Will this board fit in a 1590BB? I cannot find 1590BB Tall anywhere and I don't want a massive 1590XX if I can avoid it.
