By the way, no one in this thread is an employee of BYOC, so you're not our customer. We're all either volunteer moderators or (as is the case with me) just other BYOC customers who are interested. If you see user byoc, that's Keith, the owner. If you see nwkenning, that's Nick; he also works for BYOC. They're the only ones drawing paychecks with their time.
I apologise, sincerely. I was under the impression that this forum was somehow official. (But why is then everyone so vehemently denying that there might be any problem with the product? Just curious.)

I'm trying, man!
Thank you, I appreciate it. See also previous apology.

Those photos were from a prior problem. I assumed (apparently correctly) that you had done some work and fixed them. If you've changed anything, new photos might be in order.
The only thing I've changed is that I've improved some dodgy solderings.

Yes, of course there is science yet to be discovered. But the way that happens is through skeptical examination of cause and effect, reproducible testing, and peer review. None of which we've had a chance to engage in, because you're convinced you already know what the result of that process would be. I'm sorry if you've felt shut down, but in this case, the burden of proof lies with you. I'm open to being convinced. So far, I see clear correlation but nothing to indicate what would be the first instance of causation anyone has ever seen.
I beg to differ. I have described a series of events which strongly indicate causation as the most likely reason. Moreover, there is no other more likely reason. A chap named William of Ockham springs to mind here.
If I had unlimited time and resources, I could certainly go out and buy a stack of the aforementioned pedals and keep frying them until the rest of the people here were convinced. Sorry to say, though, you all seem to be much more convinced that what I claim
isn't true than I am convinced that it is, since you are prepared to reject it outright without the slightest consideration. So I doubt that I would convince you even with more proof than I have already provided, which is frankly quite a lot.
However, by all means, feel free to hook up an identical signal chain and repeat the experiment. I'd be happy to provide you with a block diagram and technical specs.
