Hi, just finished mine this morning.

had a problem with no sound when the effect was engaged (bypass was fine/ I used true bypass)... Voltages were good, the input was getting grounded... Here's the sequence I used to troubleshoot

1- Voltages -OK
2- Use Audio probe = no sound on board input = bad
3- Use voltmeter - check continuity
3A--- Jack to switch - OK
3B--- Switch to board - OK
3C--- In to ground - no resistance = bad
4- I then checked for solder bridges around the jack/switch/input area with a magnifying lens= everything looked fine
5 - I unsoldered the following + used voltmeter to locate where the problem was
5A - Input jack = OK (no short on the jack -- because bypass worked this was almost a given)
5B - Board in = OK (this confirms that the switch was working correctly
5C - measured resistance across R1 (approx 10k) = good
5D - measured resistance across RTB (0) = BAD
5E - lifted RTB - resistance was (approx) 1M = good
6 - I then inspected the area around the board IN with a magnifier... and bingo the board had an manufacturing error... was not the same as the diagram. The ground plane was slightly connecting with the in board in (1st time I've had this type of problem with a madbean board, the board is great quality - this is a very unlikely thing). Instead of being rounded around the board in, it looked like a triangle connecting to the in. I used a small screwdriver to cut the connecting trace around the board in. Bingo. 

The pedal sounds great...

I also like the vibe on this.

Would like to increase the speed on mine. I find the depth OK. There is a thread in the mod section about ideas for the speed. Will look into that shortly. Congrats in fitting this in a B enclosure... I used BB.

Easy way to find out mesure voltages... that will confirm that you 16v. cap is ok.

I sympathize had that happen to me recently... still had my old job as preferred ship to address...

I still have friends there so was not a biggy for me.  Hope you end up getting your package. Good luck!
