That's strange.  Mine are pretty darn old and have never given me any issues.

Hey all.  This is my first build and I'm running into some issues.  I have the King Tut populated and engaging the pedal results in no guitar sound and a lot of loud crackling.  It's fine on bypass. 

One thing that I have noticed is that there is continuity between the pads on C5, so perhaps something is shorted there?  Any similar experiences?  I should add that there are no visible shorts between these pads, so something is happening in the magic smoke somewhere.

Thanks!

I woke up this morning and said, "Ohhhhhh!"  I feel silly for messing that up.  I guess I wasn't think about what a pot really is... A variable resistor! 

Thanks!  I appreciate your patience with a noob like me!

Hello!  I am very sorry to necrobump this thread but I found this one to be the most appropriate.

I am a newbie to this scene and will be attempting this build very soon.  The only open question (I think) that I have is outside of pcb population: the wiring to/from pots/switches/power/jacks.  Does anyone have any good pictures/drawings of how they've run their wiring?  For example, I'm quite confused as to how the "high" pot should be set up, and where it "leaves" to.  I'm afraid that I'm quite rubbish at reading schematics!

I'd like to thank you in advance for your help.
