do you check for solder bridges with a magnifying glass? I had this same issue and turns out there was a bridge on the wire going to one of the pots

Double check to make sure you didn't miss a jumper under the ic.

Also you can sometimes fry a backwards part or damage during removal.  So when you reverse and replace, doesn't work for a different reason.

I just spent 2 hours last night troubleshooting a sho'nuff v2 pcb.  Actually a very simple circuit but I had to actually ohm it out.  First an open circuit diode, and then a bad trace to the bypass mode at the on board 3pdt.

Mind you I built a cavedweller and slow loris earlier in the week with no issue..!

Good luck!

Easy to have a solder bridge here. I've experienced similar on another build. Sometimes the bridge is so good, it looks like it actually belongs (doh)

sorry, guys! the girls took me to dinner tonight. i mean hey, wouldn't y'all go out with the soft tails instead of talkin to a bunch of hard tails? ;{D

i've had so much trouble that the only thing i don't socket is resistors and diodes, and caps i know have a lot of space between other parts.

reflow all your solder joints.  with all those sockets in there i could see having a dead one.
this circuit is kind of weird too.  if you're using low output pickups you really have to find the sweet spot on the sensitivity knob to get the groovies.

Hoping to get mine boxed finally this weekend

Just pulled the guts out of the box mine was in so I could paint and decal up the box. Something to do during the snow storm

Just want to be clear:

Try a new part if you had it backwards, the original may be trashed when powered up backwards.

Don't forget to check the jumpers

lookin forward to seein it!

cap tested good. all five jumpers are in.

even though they look good, i think it's worth a shot to reflow. runnin Seymour Duncan "Duckbuster" pup at the bridge....

did you get it done last weekend?
