Awesome. Thanks a bunch.

I have not. Not really sure how to do that but I'll do a little googling and get at it. Even though I am getting sound to the amp, I should be able to pinpoint the disruption with probing?

Anyone have any ideas? I'm officially stumped.

Thanks for taking a look! You're comment made me realize I made a bonehead read of my IC's. They are in the correct position, I accidentally read the pin numbers backwards. So pin 14 is actually 1, pin 13 is 2, etc.

Hey there. Wired up my Nautilus a little bit ago, had some power issues that i've somewhat resolved (pedal failed to power up entirely). My pedal is currently powering up, i'm getting bypass, and i'm getting affected signal. The affected signal however is real screwy. It's very unpredictable, occasionally "locks up" on certain frequencies, and essentially just isn't right and not usable to tonal playing (though some of the noises its been making have been kind of cool ). I have voltages from my IC's here:

IC1:

IC5 seems to be getting powered correctly but the TL074's obviously don't look anywhere near right. I'm still getting the hang of troubleshooting pedals, I've looked over the circuit/wiring/etc. several times now and haven't spotted anything. With this information, was just wondering if someone would be able to point me in a closer direction of where my error(s) lie(s). Thanks and hope to hear from you soon!

Sorry for my absence, life's been pretty crazy the past few weeks. I've been testing different points for power continuity on the board and it seems like i've potentially isolated part of the problem, though i'm sure where to look from here. I'm getting continuity to one side of R18 and R19 but nothing on the other side. I tested for resistance on both R18 and R19, I'm getting an ohm reading of 70k for both. R18 is a 180k and R19 is a 120k (i just verified that the correct values are indeed in place). Could this be the source of my problem? If so, how should I approach it? Thanks all for your patience.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Apologies for not keeping up with  my own thread. It's been an incredibly busy couple weeks and I haven't had time to sit down and work through the pedal issues but I'll be sure to post back this week when I get a chance to mess around with it.

Well definitely not getting power anywhere. Here are the readings:

trickpony, i'll be sure to cut those away and i'll post a picture shortly of the 3pdt. I have also messed with the trimmer, it doesn't affect the signal at all.

Hey folks. Just finished soldering and wiring up my Nautilus and am having issues, was wondering if anyone could potentially shed light on my situation. Wired up and running my guitar through it, I get bypass. When I engage the footswitch, I still get signal, but its essentially my clean signal with a bunch of highs rolled off. The Led's don't light up and most of the knobs/switches do nothing to alter the signal (the gain knob however does affect the volume accurately). When I have the pedal engaged for about a minute, a regular repetitive click can be heard from the amp. I've looked over it time and again and everything seems to be soldered in the correct location. All of the solder joints look fine from what I can tell. One thing that could be a potential that I wanted to check with you bright folks, when I installed C10 on the board, I bent the legs a little far and cracked a little bit of the capacitor's shell. This is very possibly my issue but I wanted to get some feedback before I went ahead and ordered a new one. Thanks and hope to hear from you soon!
