Thanks a lot to everyone!
Both pedals work and light up.
The problems were:
Not enough solder on the 3PDT. I saw a video where a guy advised to not put to much solder to prevent shorts, but apparently you need a certain amount for this to work...
Wrong resistance on the screamer Led, 22K instea of 2.2K
I think there is a problem with the chorus, there is a loud and high backgroud noise that is pulsing more and more as I turn the depth knob.
I'll investigate more tomorrow...
Thxs again!
I just clipped off the ecxeeding parts of wire and apply a fair amount of solder onto the 3PDT pads.
Still no sound and no light on the led.
Here is a recap:
-The Effects works on its own
-I have sound in bypass
-Footswitch PCB gets 9V
-wiring seems ok
This is really a mystery... I have another 3PDT + pcb for a future build that I can try, but I'm really afraid to have te same result with it.
Again Thxs for your help
Thanks a lot for all your response!
I'm not sure I understood everything with the 9v thing...
I measured the +9v and GND pins on the footswitch PCB with a multimeter and It seems fine.
Anyways these are more complete pics of the Screamer, I hope its detailed enough.
Thanks again for your help!
Hey Max!
Indeed I posted too fast and forgot the pics, its okay now!
I just focused on the footswitches since I know the effects PCBs are working.
Thxs for your essage!
Hi Guys!
This is my first post here since I just bought and build my 1st two pedals.
They are "kind of" not working in the exact same way so I guess I'm doing something bad, and I woul like your input before buying new 3PDTs.
1. Both PCBs have been tested outisde the enclosure with crocodile clips and they works perfectly without the 3PDT.
2. When connecting the 3PDT outside the enclosure again, the Bypass works perfectly, BUT...
3. When activating the switch, Led does not light up and no sound out of the pedals.
So the PCB is ok, the jacks are ok, I also tested the 9v on the 3PDT pcb awith a multimeter and the numbers are good...
So I guess there is not much room for what could go wrong there.
If anyone have an idea it is very much welcome!
Thank you very much in advance,
Fab
